Dividend XL -7- GENERAL INFORMATION RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT GROUP FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. 3 4 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. Dividend XL is a systemic seed dressing that controls or suppresses certain seed- borne. soil-borne, and fall foliar diseases of wheat. It is a mixture of Dividend and Apron XL® LS. Apron XL LS provides Pythium damping-off activity and Dividend provides activity on the remaining diseases claimed on this label. An EPA-approved coloring agent, Pigment Red 48 has been added to the formulation. DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP MEFENOXAM FUNGICIDE FUNGICIDE For resistance management, please note that Dividend XL contains Group 3/difenoconazole and Group 4/ mefenoxam fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Dividend XL 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. To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of Dividend XL or other Group 3 or Group 4 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.

You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance. Winter Wheat Rate/ CWT MIXING PROCEDURES _________________________________________________ Apply Dividend XL as a water-based slurry through standard slurry or mist-type commercial seed treaters. Prepare a slurry by mixing Dividend XL in up to 16 fl. oz. of water per 100 lbs. of seed. Mix the slurry thoroughly with the seed to provide uniform coverage.

• Dividend XL provides control of fall season powdery mildew, fall season leaf rust, and fall season Septoria leaf blotch in winter wheat for the first 6 weeks after planting. For full season control of these foliar diseases, use Tilt® fungicide according to label instructions. ^Partial control can either mean erratic control from good to poor or consistent control at a level below that generally considered acceptable for commercial disease control. ^Dividend XL controls both seed-borne and soil-borne common bunt. "•General seed rots controlled include those caused by saprophytic organisms, such as Penicillium and Aspergillus.

(3) Do not plant any crop other than wheat within 30 days to fields in which treated seeds were planted. Note: Federal law requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with the following information: “This seed has been treated with difenoconazole and mefenoxam fungicides. Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes. Store away from feeds and foodstuffs. Green wheat may not be grazed until 55 days after planting. Do not plant any crop other than those on this label within 30 days in fields in which treated seeds were planted.” Take-All Common Root Rot {Cochliobolus spp.) Rhizoctonia Root Rot Common Bunf Loose Smut Flag Smut Seed-borne Septoria General Seed Rots^ Fusarium Seed Scab Pythium Damping-Off Common Bunf Seed-borne Septoria Loose Smut General Seed Rots^ Fusarium Seed Scab Pythium Damping-Off
