Apron XL 350ES Page 6 DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Use is permitted in commercial seed treatment facilities only. Not for use on-farm or for at-plant applications (e.g., hopper box, planter box, etc.). This product is to be applied as a water-based slurry through standard slurry- or mist-type commercial seed treatment equipment.

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

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. Prior to treatment, conduct germination tests on a portion of 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 Apron XL 350ES.

Maximum usage when applying both metalaxyl- and mefenoxam-containing products to the same crop within the same season: Do not apply more than the maximum yearly total application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product containing the lowest yearly total on that crop.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE, RESTRICTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE), notification to workers, and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 48 hours. Exception: If the seed is treated with the product and the treated seed is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water is:

x Protective eyewear x Coveralls x Chemical-resistant gloves made of: barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥14 mils, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ≥14 mils, or Viton ≥14 mils x Shoes plus socks

Apron XL 350ES Page 8 3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION

Apron XL 350ES is a systemic fungicide seed treatment for protection against damage from Pythium and Phytophthora species causing damping-off, seed rot, and systemic downy mildew diseases on specified crops. Where rate ranges are given, use the higher specified rate when disease pressure is expected to be severe.

For protection against other soil-borne diseases, such as Rhizoctonia species, Apron XL 350ES should be applied in combination with other registered seed treatment fungicides.

3.1 Resistance Management

MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE

For resistance management, Apron XL 350ES contains a Group 4/mefenoxam fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Apron XL 350ES and other 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.

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 Apron XL 350ES or other Group 4 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. x Use tank mixtures with fung icide 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 di sease 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.

Apron XL 350ES Page 9 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.

4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

Important: Always re-circulate Apron XL 350ES thoroughly before using.

Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used.

Apply Apron XL 350ES as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. The total application volume must be sufficient to provide desired level of coverage. Dilution is typically done with water or liquid inoculants. Thoroughly mix the specified amount of Apron XL 350ES into the required amount of water or liquid inoculant for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control.

Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted. Apron XL 350ES is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta representative for directions before applying Apron XL 350ES with inoculants.

Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out of the solution. Clean out any unused product from the treater after treating or maintain constant agitation if the leftover slurry will be maintained overnight.

x Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed as stated in 40 CFR 153.155(c).

x Allow seed to dry before bagging.

Follow planter manufacturer’s specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives at planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.

Apron XL 350ES Page 10 4.1 Tank Mixtures Apron XL 350ES mixes easily with water and other water-based seed treatments. When mixing with products from other manufacturers, test the compatibility prior to use by conducting a jar test: Mix all intended seed treatments with a proportional amount of water to achieve the desired slurry mixture in a clear glass container. Mix well and allow mixture to sit for one hour. Remix and observe for incompatibility.

Mixing Apron XL 350ES with tank-mix partners: Add ½ of the required water to the mix tank and turn on the agitation. Mechanical agitation is preferred. If using wettable powders, add them first to clean water allowing them to completely disperse prior to adding Apron XL 350ES or other products. Allow each tank-mix partner to completely disperse before adding the next product. Add the remaining amount of water and agitate. Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been used.

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.

5.0 RESTRICTIONS Not for use on-farm or for at-plant applications (e.g., hopper box, planter box, etc.). This product is to be applied as a water-based slurry through standard slurry- or mist-type commercial seed treatment equipment. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. An EPA-approved dye or colorant must be used that imparts an unnatural color to the seed as stated in 40 CFR 153.155(c).

Apron XL 350ES Page 11 6.0 SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENTS – DOMESTIC USE

The Federal Seed Act requires that containers of treated seeds must be labeled with the following statements: x This seed has been treated with mefenoxam fungicide. x Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements on containers of seeds treated with Apron XL 350ES: x Do not allow children, pets, or livest ock to have access to treated seed. x Store treated seed away from food and feedstuffs. x Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical-resistant gloves when handling treated seed. x Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during loading and planting (such as in row ends). x Dispose of all excess treated seed by bu rying seed away from bodies of water. x Do not contaminate water bodies wh en disposing of planting equipment washwaters. x Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements. 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 Groundwater 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 DO NOT apply more than 0.020 lb ai/Acre (9.2 g ai/Acre) per calendar year of mefenoxam or metalaxyl-containing products as a seed treatment on Leaves of Root and Tuber Vegetables (Human Food or Animal Feed) Crop Group 2. x DO NOT apply more than 0.25 lb ai/Acre (115 g ai/Acre) per calendar year of mefenoxam or metalaxyl-containing products as a seed treatment on Legume Vegetables (Succulent or Dried) Crop Group 6, Except Soybean, and Foliage of Legume Vegetables Crop Group 7, Except Soybean. x DO NOT apply more than 0.052 lb ai/Acre (23 g ai/Acre) per calendar year of mefenoxam or metalaxyl-containing products as a seed treatment on Soybean, Including Foliage.
