3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION A23883 ST is a broad-spectrum seed treatment that consists of five fungicide active ingredients (azoxystrobin, fludioxonil, mefenoxam, picarbutrazox, and sedaxane) as well as one insecticide active ingredient (thiamethoxam). Each active ingredient has a different mode of action. This seed treatment protects against damage from listed early-season insects and soil-borne and seed-borne diseases of soybeans.

Azoxystrobin fungicide is active against Rhizoctonia and Pythium spp., seed-borne white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) as well as other listed seed-borne diseases causing decay, damping-off and seedling blight.

Fludioxonil fungicide protects against seed-borne and soil-borne Fusarium and Rhizoctonia spp. that cause seed decay, damping-off, and seedling blight. This active ingredient also provides protection from seed-borne Diaporthe-Phomopsis disease complex, sometimes referred to as pod and stem blight (caused by Phomopsis longicolla and Diaporthe phaseolorum). Fludioxonil also suppresses seed-borne Sclerotinia spp.

Mefenoxam fungicide provides protection against Pythium damping-off and early-season Phytophthora.

A23883 ST Page 7 Picarbutrazox provides early-season protection against Pythium and Phytophthora spp. that cause seed rot and damping-off.

Sedaxane fungicide protects against damage from seed decay, seedling blight, and damping- off caused by Rhizoctonia spp.

Thiamethoxam protects against damage from listed insect pests.

3.1 Resistance Management

3.1.1 Insecticide Resistance Management For resistance management, please note that A23883 ST contains thiamethoxam, a Group 4A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to A23883 ST and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides is 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.

To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps: • Rotate the use of A23883 ST or other Group 4A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. • Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that is equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. DO NOT rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC). o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target species. o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect resistance management. o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted pest(s). o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits. o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticidal activity may offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active. • Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes scouting; uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, and record keeping; and considers cultural, biological, and other chemical control practices.

A23883 ST Page 8 • Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.

For additional information on Insect Resistance Management: • Contact Syngenta representatives at 1-866-796-4368 • 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 insect pests on this label.

3.1.2 Fungicide Resistance Management For resistance management, please note that A23883 ST contains mefenoxam, a Group 4 fungicide; sedaxane, a Group 7 fungicide; azoxystrobin, a Group 11 fungicide; fludioxonil, a Group 12 fungicide; and picarbutrazox, a Group U17 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to A23883 ST and other Group 4, Group 7, Group 11, Group 12, or Group U17 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. Sedaxane is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) and belongs to the carboxamide class of chemistry which disrupts cellular respiration and energy generation. Azoxystrobin belongs to the strobilurin class of chemistry which disrupts cellular respiration and energy generation. Fludioxonil belongs to the phenylpyrrole class of chemistry which interferes with osmotic signal transduction. Picarbutrazox belongs to the tetra-zolyloximes class of fungicides and is not known to be cross-resistant with fungicides that have different modes of action.

To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of A23883 ST or other Group 4, Group 7, Group 11, Group 12, or Group U17 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. • Use tank mixtures with fungicide 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. • 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. • 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.

A23883 ST Page 9 • Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crop and pathogens. • 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 recirculate A23883 ST thoroughly before using.

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

The typical density of A23883 ST is 9.51 pounds per gallon. Consult the manufacturer of the application equipment you plan to use for suitability for this application and for instructions on operation and calibration of the equipment. Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used.

Apply A23883 ST as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment equipment that provides uniform seed coverage. Seed treaters with atomizers or spinning discs are highly recommended for better product coverage on the seed. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of insect or disease control. Thoroughly mix the specified amount of A23883 ST into the required amount of water or liquid inoculant for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted. A23883 ST is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta Crop Protection representative for directions before applying A23883 ST 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. 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.

A23883 ST Page 10 4.1 Tank Mixtures A23883 ST mixes easily with water and other water-based seed treatments manufactured by Syngenta. 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. 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.
