PRODUCT INFORMATION
Cyantraniliprole is a broad-spectrum insecticide belonging to the chemical class of
diamides. Cyantraniliprole products are effective on the larval stages of lepidopteran
insects; and some other insect pests, including some coleopterans and dipterans. The
length of control of the major insect pests will vary depending on the product use rate,
insect pressure, crop growth and maturity, and soil and environmental conditions.
When rate ranges are given, use the higher rate within the listed rate range when insect
pressure is expected to be high.
Resistance Management
CYANTRANILIPROLE GROUP 28 INSECTICIDE
Fortenza contains cyantraniliprole, a Group 28 insecticide. Cyantraniliprole is a
systemic insecticide belonging to the diamide class of chemistry. Diamides cause
muscle contraction and paralysis in insects by activating muscle ryanodine receptors.
Insect populations may contain individuals naturally resistant to Group 28 insecticides,
and, if used repeatedly in the same fields, then resistant members may eventually
dominate the population. Because resistance development cannot be predicted, use
sound resistance management strategies established for the crop and use area.
Base seed treatment on an integrated pest management program that includes field
sanitation, historical information related to pesticide use, careful selection of pest-
tolerant crop varieties, scouting, and management practices which optimize populations
of natural enemies of insect pests such as within-field refugia (untreated areas). Sound
management programs also consider cultural and biological control practices.
In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry:
Use products at their full, specified doses.
Use appropriate, well-maintained equipment. Use specified water volumes and
apply at optimal temperatures in order to obtain optimal treatment.
When rate ranges are given, use the higher rate within the listed rate range when
insect pressure is expected to be high.
Avoid using a single active ingredient or mode of action (same insecticide group)
exclusively for season long control of insect species with more than one generation
per crop season.
For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, use a treatment
window approach. A treatment window is a period of time defined by the stage of
crop development and the biology of the pests of concern. Within the treatment
window, depending on the length of residual activity, single or consecutive
applications may be made using seed, in-furrow, or foliar treatments unless
-7-
otherwise excluded by product labels. Do not exceed the maximum amount of this
Following a treatment win
treatment window of effective products with a different mode of action before making
additional applications of this insecticide.
If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product or other products with a
similar mode of action may not provide adequate control. If poor performance cannot be
attributed to improper application or weather conditions, a resistant strain of insect may
be present. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a reasonable
cause, immediately consult your local company representative or agricultural advisor for
the best alternative method of control for the crop and use area.
Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long term
control of the insect pests on this label.

MIXING PROCEDURES
Apply Fortenza only with Syngenta-approved seed-treating equipment. Potatoes
may be treated either on farm by the grower with Syngenta-approved equipment or at a
commercial seed-treatment facility. All other crops must only be treated at Syngenta-
approved commercial seed-treatment facilities. Not for use in hopper box, planter box,
slurry box, or other farmer-applied applications.
Important: Thoroughly recirculate or agitate the container of Fortenza prior to use.
Apply Fortenza 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 insect or disease control. Thoroughly mix
the specified amount of Fortenza into the required amount of water for the slurry treater
and dilution rate to be used. (See Fortenza in Tank Mixtures.) 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.
Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed
as stated in 40 CFR 153.155 (c).
Allow seed to dry before bagging.
Store away from feed and foodstuffs.

Application of Fortenza
Apply Fortenza utilizing Syngenta-approved seed treating systems designed to apply
liquid seed treatments of potatoes. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give
the desired level of insect control. For slurry treatment, thoroughly mix the specified
amount of Fortenza into the required amount of water for the slurry treater and dilution
rate to be used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry during the seed treatment
equipment being used with appropriate set-up and calibration. Calibrate the equipment
so that every potato seed tuber is uniformly coated with a fine layer of the slurry mix
without any excess dripping off of the treated seed.
DO NOT BAG POTATO SEED THAT IS TREATED WITH ANY LIQUID SEED
TREATMENTS.
Storing Treated Potato Seed Pieces
If the treated potato seed piece needs to be stored or held for a few days (2 to 3 weeks
maximum), make sure the potato seed piece is stored in well ventilated areas that allow
air to move through and out the treated potato seed piece. An ideal air temperature is
60 degrees Fahrenheit at a relative humidity of 85 to 90 percent. Do not allow free
moisture to form within or around the treated potato seed piece during storage. If
possible, allow treated potato seed pieces to dry during transit and planted the same
day of treatment.
If an inert dust (fir bark or talc etc.) or a dust-based fungicide is applied, apply Fortenza
prior to applying the dust treatments.
Syngenta, LLC makes no claims as to the effect of this product or delivery
systems on germination of the potato seed. The user, buyer or applicator of the
seed treatment assumes all risks from such application.
Note: Treatment of highly damaged or bruised potato seed, or seed known to be of low
reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor and multiple stems
from germination of the seed. When in doubt or if the status/condition of the potato
seed tubers is unknown, treat a small sample batch of the same potato seed load with
Fortenza using specified rates, equipment, and application procedures; before treating
the total seed lot. Conduct this test on a small batch of the potato seed and observe the
germination, emergence, stem count from the germinating seed. Consult with local
experts in the region or conduct the test with university or area experts. Only if the data
confirm that the seed treated with Fortenza are acceptable should the rest of the seed
load from which the sample was taken be treated. Due to seed quality, seed
condition and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Syngenta LLC, no
-15-
claims are made to guarantee the germination and/or performance of the potato
seed tuber from treatment with Fortenza.
