USE INFORMATION 
 
CruiserMaxx is a seed treatment product containing the active ingredients: 
thiamethoxam (insecticide) and fludioxonil and mefenoxam fungicides. CruiserMaxx 
protects against damage from certain early season insects, soil-borne and seed-borne 
diseases of crop plants. 
 
Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neoticotinoid 
class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam protects against certain chewing and sucking insects 
through contact and ingestion. 
 
Mefenoxam fungicide is active against Pythium, Phytophthora and systemic downy 
mildew. 
 
Fludioxonil fungicide is active against Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and suppresses seed-
borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis species. 
 
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. 
 
 
MIXING PROCEDURES 
 
Important: Always re-circulate CruiserMaxx thoroughly before using. 
 
The typical density of CruiserMaxx 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 
application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used. 
 
Apply CruiserMaxx as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment 
equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed 
coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Thoroughly mix the 
specified amount of CruiserMaxx 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. 
CruiserMaxx is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the maker of

CruiserMaxx 
Page 7 
 
the inoculant product and a Syngenta Crop Protection representative for directions 
before applying CruiserMaxx with inoculants. 
 
Under certain disease conditions, additional amounts of fungicides may be required. 
When needed, apply additional Apron XL
® and Maxim® 4FS according to the CROP 
USE DIRECTIONS. Other tank mix partners may be used with CruiserMaxx; however, 
the user must consider the use rate, formulation, seed and crop safety factors and 
compatibility of each product to be mixed when determining the total application volume. 
 
The total application volume must be sufficient to provide desired level of coverage. 
Dilution is typically done with water or liquid inoculants. The minimum slurry volume to 
achieve adequate coverage is 4.0 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed. More diluent 
may be required to obtain complete coverage. 
 
Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out 
of the solution 
 
Allow seed to dry before bagging. 
 
Follow planter manufacturer recommendations for use of talc or other hopper box 
additives at planting. Seed should be completely dry before adding to planter. 
 
CruiserMaxx contains an EPA approved dye/colorant that imparts an unnatural color to 
the seed as required by the Federal Seed Act. 
 
 
SEED BAG LABEL REQUIREMENTS 
 
Federal law requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with the 
following statements: 
x This seed has been treated with thiamethoxam insecticide and fludioxonil and 
mefenoxam fungicides. 
x Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes. 
x User is responsible for ensuring that the seed bag meets all requirements under 
the Federal Seed Act. 
 
In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements 
on bags containing seeds treated with CruiserMaxx: 
x Groundwater Advisory: This product has properties and characteristics 
associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may leach 
into the groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly 
where the water table is shallow. 
x Pollinator Precautions: Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees, and effects are 
possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops. 
x Store away from feeds and foodstuffs.

CruiserMaxx

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
 
Insecticide Resistance Management 
 
For resistance management, CruiserMaxx contains a Group 4A insecticide. Any insect 
population may contain individuals naturally resistant to CruiserMaxx 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 CruiserMaxx 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 k nown 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 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.

CruiserMaxx 
Page 10 
 
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.
 
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta Crop 
Protection at 1-866-796-4368. You can also 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. 
 
Fungicide Resistance Management 
 
For resistance management, please note that CruiserMaxx contains both a Group 
4/mefenoxam and group 12/fludioxonil fungicide. Any fungal population may contain 
individuals naturally resistant to either or both of the active ingredients in CruiserMaxx 
and other Group 4 or Group 12 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. Fludioxonil belongs to the phenylpyrrole class of chemistry which 
interferes with osmotic signal transduction. 
 
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: 
 
x Rotate the use of CruiserMaxx or other Group 4 or Group 12 fungicides within a 
growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. 
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 
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 crops 
and pathogens.
