Keep and wash PPE separately from other laundry. 2.2.2 Engineering Controls When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs , or aircraft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides [40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS. 2.2.3 User Safety Recommendations Users should: x Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet. x Remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing. x Remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing. 2.3 Environmental Hazards This pesticide is toxic to wildlife, freshwater and estuarine/marine fish, and highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment washwater or rinsate. Do not apply when weather conditions favor drift from the target area. Runoff may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not apply directly to water, to areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. 2.3.1 Pollinator Precautions Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees exposed to direct treatment, and effects may be possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops. 2.3.2 Non-Target Organism Advisory Statement This product may adversely impact non-target organisms feeding on treated seeds. Protect the non-target organisms by following label directions intended to minimize availability of treated seed to non-target organisms.

A22388B Page 5 x Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during loading and planting in areas (such as in row ends). x Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed away from bodies of water. 2.3.3 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, and may result in groundwater contamination. Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, and may result in groundwater contamination. 2.3.4 Surface Water Advisory Mefenoxam may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface water via runoff for several months or more after application. A level, well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of mefenoxam from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours. DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. Use is permitted on-farm and in commercial seed treatment facilities. Do not use for at-plant applications (e.g. hopper box, planter box, etc.). This product is to be applied as a water- based slurry through standard liquid-type seed treatment equipment. Seed treaters with atomizers or spinning discs are highly recommended for better product coverage on the seed. 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. Maximum usage when applying metalaxyl- and mefenoxam- containing products to the same crop within the same season: Do not apply more than the maximum yearly total

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 Coveralls x Chemical-resistant gloves made RI EDUULHU ODPLQDWH EXW\O UXEEHU • PLOV QHRSUHQHUXEEHU•PLOVQLWULOHUXEEHU•PLOVSRO\YLQ\OFKORULGH 39& • PLOVRU9LWRQŠ•PLOV x Shoes plus socks 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 any crop seed treated with A22388B.

A22388B Page 7 3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION A22388B is a broad-spectrum seed treatment that consists of four fungicide active ingredients: difenoconazole, mefenoxam, sedaxane, and thiabendazole, as well as one insecticide active ingredient: thiamethoxam. Each active ingredient has a different mode of action. This seed treatment is recommended for protection against many listed important fungal plant diseases as well as listed early-season insect pests. Refer to the directions for use for a complete list of diseases and insects. 3.1 Insecticide Resistance Management For resistance management, A22388B contains a Group 4A/thiamethoxam insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to A22388B 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. To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps: x Rotate the use of A22388B or other Group 4A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. x Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that are 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 be 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 insecticide THIAMETHOXAM GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE

A22388B Page 8 activity may offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active. x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices. x 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. x 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 Insecticide Resistance Management: x Contact Syngenta representatives at 1-800-334-9481 x 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. 3.2 Fungicide Resistance Management THIABENDAZOLE GROUP 1 FUNGICIDE DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE For resistance management, please note that A22388B contains Group 1/thiabendazole, Group 3/difenoconazole, Group 4/mefenoxam, and Group 7/sedaxane fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to A22388B and other Group 1, 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. Thiabendazole belongs to the methyl-benzimidazole carbamate class of chemistry which disrupts ß-tubulin assembly in mitosis. 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. Sedaxane is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) and belongs to the carboxamide class of chemistry which disrupts cellular respiration and energy generation. To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: x Rotate the use of A22388B or other Group 1, Group 3, Group 4, or Group 7 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.

A22388B Page 9 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 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. 4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS Important: Recirculate A22388B thoroughly before using. Follow the manufacturers application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used. Apply A22388B as a water-based slurry through standard liquid-type 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 A22388B into the required amount of water for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. 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 Allow seed to dry before bagging. x A22388B contains an EPA-approved dye/colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed as required by the Federal Seed Act.

A22388B Page 10 4.1 Tank Mixtures A22388B 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 in a clear glass container. Mix well and allow mixture to sit for one hour. Remix and observe for incompatibility. Mixing A22388B 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 A22388B 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 users 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. When using A22388B in tank mixtures, all products in water-soluble packaging should be added to the tank before any other tank mix partner, including A22388B. Allow the water- soluble packaging to completely dissolve and the product(s) to completely disperse before adding any other tank mix partner to the tank. If using A22388B in a tank mixture with other seed treatment products, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank mix partner label. No label dosage may be exceeded and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be follower. This product may not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing.

If pressure is high, apply up to 0.3 fl. oz. additional Cruiser 5FS. 2The 5 fluid oz/100 lbs rate of A22388B provides suppression of Hessian fly. For maximum protection, add 0.3 fl. oz of additional Cruiser 5FS or utilize a foliar spray program. 3Protection against general seed rots. This includes rots caused by Fusarium, Pythium, and Rhizoctonia. 4Suppression means consistent protection at a level which is not optimal but is still of commercial benefit. 5Protects against both seed- and soil-borne bunts (common, dwarf). 6Early season foliar disease protection for first 4 weeks after planting. For full season protection, apply a foliar fungicide according to label directions.
