Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed or seed known to be of low vigor and poor quality may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor. Treat a quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Then, conduct germination tests with a portion of this treated seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment.

Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Syngenta, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of seed or propagating material for all crop seed when treated with Dividend Extreme Fungicide.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

Dividend Extreme Fungicide is a systemic seed treatment fungicide that protects against damage from listed seed-borne, soil-borne, and early season foliar diseases of barley, oats, rye, triticale, and wheat, and certain seed and seedling diseases of sweet corn and cotton.

Dividend Extreme Fungicide contains the active ingredients difenoconazole and mefenoxam. Mefenoxam provides protection against damping-off caused by Pythium spp. Difenoconazole provides protection against several seed, seedling and certain

–7– foliar diseases of small grain cereals including bunts and smuts; protection against pre- emergent and post-emergent damping-off seedling diseases of cotton caused by Rhizoctonia spp. and Fusarium spp.; and suppression of post-emergent die-back complex in sweet corn.

Resistance Management

DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE

For resistance management, please note that Dividend Extreme Fungicide contains Group 3/difenoconazole and Group 4/mefenoxam fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Dividend Extreme Fungicide and other Group 3 or Group 4 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance- management strategies should be followed.

Difenoconazole belongs to the triazole class of chemistry and is a demethylation inhibitor of sterol biosynthesis (DMI) which disrupts membrane synthesis of the fungal cell. Mefenoxam belongs to the phenylamide class of chemistry which interferes with fungal RNA synthesis.

To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: x Rotate the use of Dividend Extreme Fungicide or other Group 3 or Group 4 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. x Use tank mixtures with fungicides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Use at least the minimum application rate as labeled by the manufacturer. x Adopt an integrated disease management program for fungicide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, and crop rotation, and which considers host plant resistance, impact of environmental conditions on disease development, disease thresholds, as well as cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. x Where possible, make use of predictive disease models to effectively time fungicide applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance. x Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crop and pathogens. x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta at 1-866- Syngent(a) (866-796-4368). You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term control of the fungal diseases on this label.

MIXING PROCEDURES

Apply Dividend Extreme Fungicide as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry treatment equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of Dividend Extreme Fungicide into the required amount of water for the slurry and dilution rate to be used. Follow the manufacturer instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry during the treatment. If application is stopped please maintain agitation of slurry until all of the slurry has been used. An EPA-approved coloring agent, Pigment Red 48, has already been added to this formulation. Allow seed to dry before bagging.

Tank Mixtures

All tank mixes should be pre-tested to determine physical compatibility between formulations. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENTS

The Federal Seed Act requires that containers of treated seeds shall be labeled with the following statements:

x This seed has been treated with difenoconazole and mefenoxam fungicides.

x Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes.

In addition, the following statements are required on containers of seeds treated with Dividend Extreme Fungicide:

x Ground Water Advisory: Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.

x Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only if (1) By-products are not used for livestock feed, and (2) No measurable residues of pesticide remain in the ethanol by-products that are used in agronomic practice.

x Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed.

x Store away from feeds and foodstuffs.

x Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical-resistant gloves when handling treated seed.

–9– x Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during loading.

x Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than ½ inch.

x Dispose of all excess treated seed. Leftover treated seed may be doublesown around the headland or buried away from water sources in accordance with local requirements.

x Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment washwater.

x Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements.

x Do not apply more than 0.01 lb ai /Acre/calendar year (4.7 g ai/Acre/calendar year) of mefenoxam as a seed treatment on Cotton. Do not apply more than 0.125 lb ai/Acre/calendar year (56.7 g ai/Acre/calendar year) of mefenoxam regardless of type of application (seed treatment, soil or foliar) on Cotton.
