PRODUCT INFORMATION
A21185B is a seed treatment product containing one insecticide active ingredient (thiamethoxam), three fungicide active ingredients (difenoconazole, mefenoxam, and sedaxane) and three plant-growth regulators (cytokinin, indole butyric acid and giberellic acid). A21185B seed treatment protects against damage from certain early-season insects and certain seed- and soil-borne diseases of cereal crops.
Difenoconazole provides protection against several seed, seedling and certain foliar disease including bunts and smuts. Mefenoxam protects against damping-off caused by Pythium spp. Sedaxane protects against Rhizoctonia spp. and loose smuts (Ustilago spp.).
Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neoticotinoid class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam in A211 85B protects against aphids, wireworm and European chafer.
A21185B contains the plant-growth regulators cytokinin, gibberellic acid and indolebutyric acid to aid in enhanced germination and early season root and top growth.
Resistance Management
For resistance management, A21185B contains a Group 4A/thiamethoxam insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to A21185B and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed
Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry which includes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists.
If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other products with a similar mode of action, may not provide adequate control. If poor performance cannot be attributed to improper application or weather conditions, a resistant strain of insect or
A21185B Page 7 pathogen may be present. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable cause, immediately consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for the best alternative method of control for your area.
In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry: x Avoid using Group 4A insecticides exclusively for season long control of insect species with more than one generation per crop season. x For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, apply A21185B and other Group 4A insecticides using a “treatment window” approach. A treatment window is a period of time as defined by the stage of crop development and/or the biology of the pests of concern. Within the treatment window, depending on the length of residual activity, there may either be single or consecutive applications (seed treatment, soil, foliar, unless otherwise stated) of the Group 4A insecticides. Do not exceed the maximum A21185B allowed per calendar year. x Following a treatment window of Group 4A insecticides, rotate to a treatment window of effective products with a different mode of action before making additional applications of Group 4A insecticides. x A treatment window rotation, along with other IPM practices for the crop and use area, is considered an effective strategy for preventing or delaying a pest’s ability to develop resistance to this class of chemistry. x If resistance is suspected, do not reapply A21185B or any other Group 4A insecticides.
Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) practices include: Incorporating IPM techniques into your insect control program. Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy. Using tank-mixtures or premixes with inse cticides from a different target site of action group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same crop and effective rates are applied.
For additional information on Insect Resistance Management: Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product manufacturer for additional insect resistance management recommendations. Visit the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at: http://www.irac-online.org
Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term control of the insects on this label.
For resistance management, please note that A21185B contains a Group 3/difenoconazole, Group 4/mefenoxam, and Group 7/sedaxane fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to A21185B and other Group 3, Group 4, or Group 7 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.
A21185B Page 8 Difenoconazole belongs to the triazole class of chemistry and is a demethylation inhibitor of sterol biosynthesis (DMI). DMI’s disrupt membrane synthesis by blocking demethylation. Mefenoxam is a systemic fungicide belonging to the phenylamide class of chemistry which adversely affects fungal RNA synthesis. Sedaxane belongs to the carboxamide class of chemistry and is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI). SDHI’s inhibit fungal metabolism by binding to the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme thereby disrupting cellular respiration and energy generation.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of A21185B or other Grou p 3, Group 4, or Group 7 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
x Use tank mixtures with fung icides 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 predicti ve disease models to effectively time fungicide application. 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 crops 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.
