|
||
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 Groundwater Advisory
|
||
Azoxystrobin can be persistent for several months or longer. Azoxystrobin and a degradate
|
||
of azoxystrobin are known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as
|
||
a result of label use. These chemicals 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.
|
||
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.

|
||
Use is only permitted in commercial seed treatment facilities. Use on-farm is not permitted.
|
||
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 commercial seed treatment
|
||
equipment. Seed treaters with atomizers or spinning discs are highly recommended for better
|
||
product coverage on the seed.
|
||

|
||
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
|
||
application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product containing the
|
||
lowest yearly total on that crop.
|
||
FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY
|
||
RESULT IN CROP INJURY; POOR INSECT AND/OR DISEASE CONTROL; AND/OR
|
||
ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
|
||
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
|
||
|
||
A22353
|
||

|
||
vigor. Therefore, it is recommended to 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 A22353.
|
||
3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
A22353 is a broad-spectrum seed treatment for use only on soybean that consists of four
|
||
fungicide active ingredients: azoxystrobin, fludioxonil, sedaxane, and mefenoxam, as well as
|
||
one insecticide active ingredient: thiamethoxam. Each active ingredient has a different mode
|
||
of action. This seed treatment is recommended for control of many listed important fungal
|
||
plant diseases as well as listed early-season insect pests.
|
||
Azoxystrobin fungicide is active against Rhizoctonia and Pythium species, 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 damage from seed-borne and soil-borne disease
|
||
caused by Fusarium and Rhizoctonia species leading to 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.
|
||
Sedaxane fungicide protects against damage from seed decay, seedling blight, and damping-
|
||
off caused by Rhizoctonia species.
|
||
Mefenoxam fungicide provides protection against Pythium damping-off and early-season
|
||
Phytophthora.
|
||
Thiamethoxam protects against damage from listed insect pests.
|
||
3.1 Insecticide Resistance Management
|
||
A22353 contains thiamethoxam, a Group 4A insecticide. Thiamethoxam is a systemic
|
||
insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry which includes nicotinic
|
||
acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists.

|
||
Page 7
|
||
Insect populations may contain individuals naturally resistant to Group 4A 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 refuge (untreated areas). Sound management
|
||
programs also consider cultural and biological control practices.
|
||
In order to maintain susceptibility to these classes of chemistry:
|
||
x Use products at their full, specified doses.
|
||
x Use appropriate, well-maintained equipment. Use specified water volumes and apply at
|
||
optimal temperatures in order to obtain optimal treatment.
|
||
x When rate ranges are given, use the higher rate within the listed rate range when insect
|
||
pressure is expected to be high.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
x 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 otherwise excluded by product
|
||
labels. Do not exceed the maximum amount of this insecticide’s mode of action allowed
|
||
per growing season.
|
||
x Following a treatment window of this insecticide’s mode of action, rotate to a 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.

3.2 Fungicide Resistance Management
|
||
MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE
|
||
SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE
|
||
AZOXYSTROBIN GROUP 11 FUNGICIDE
|
||
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
|
||
For resistance management, please note that A22353 contains Group 4/mefenoxam, Group
|
||
7/sedaxane, Group 11/azoxystrobin and Group 12/fludioxonil fungicides. Any fungal
|
||
population may contain individuals naturally resistant to A22353 and other Group 4, Group 7,
|
||
Group 11 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. 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.
|
||
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of A22353 or other Group 4, Group 7, Group 11 or Group 12 fungicides
|
||
within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
|
||
x 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.
|
||
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 crop and pathogens.
|
||

|
||
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
Important: Recirculate A22353 thoroughly before using.
|
||
Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being
|
||
used.
|
||
Apply A22353 as a water-based slurry through standard liquid-type commercial 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. The
|
||
minimum slurry volume to achieve adequate coverage is 4.0 fluid ounces of liquid slurry per
|
||
100 pounds of seed. More diluent may be required to obtain complete coverage. Thoroughly
|
||
mix the specified amount of A22353 into the required amount of water or liquid inoculant 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.
|
||
4.1 Tank Mixtures
|
||
A22353 mixes easily with water and other water-based seed treatments manufactured by
|
||
Syngenta and many other companies. When mixing with products from other manufacturers,

|
||
Mixing A22353 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 A22353 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 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.

||
applications at or immediately before planting.
|
||
x Treated seed must be labeled in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Seed
|
||
Act.
|
||
x Do not use at a rate that will result in more than 0.266 lb thiamethoxam per Acre (120
|
||
grams ai/A) per calendar year, regardless of type of application (seed treatment, soil, or
|
||
foliar). Do not use at a rate that will result in more than 0.083 lb thiamethoxam per Acre

7.0 SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENTS
|
||
|
||
A22353
|
||
Page 12
|
||
The Federal Seed Act requires that containers of treated seeds must be labeled with the
|
||
following statements:
|
||
x This seed has been treated with azoxystrobin, fludioxonil, sedaxane, and mefenoxam
|
||
fungicides and thiamethoxam insecticide.
|
||
x Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes.
|
||
In addition, the following statements are required on containers of seeds treated with A22353:
|
||
x Groundwater Advisory: Azoxystrobin, a degradate of azoxystrobin, and mefenoxam are
|
||
known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label
|
||
use. Fludioxonil and thiamethoxam have properties and characteristics associated with
|
||
chemicals detected in groundwater. These chemicals may leach into 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 exposed to direct treatment,
|
||
and effects may be possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming
|
||
crops.
|
||
x Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed.
|
||
x Store treated seed away from feeds and foodstuffs.
|
||
x Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical resistant gloves when handling treated
|
||
seed.
|
||
x Do not use at a rate that will result in more than 0.266 lb thiamethoxam per Acre (120
|
||
grams ai/A) per calendar year, regardless of type of application (seed treatment, soil, or
|
||
foliar). Do not use at a rate that will result in more than 0.083 lb thiamethoxam per Acre
|
||
(37.8 grams ai/A) per calendar year as a seed treatment application. Do not apply more
|
||
than 0.003 lb azoxystrobin per Acre (1.5 g ai/A) per calendar year as a seed treatment
|
||
application. Do not apply more than 0.004 lb fludioxonil per Acre (2.0 g ai/A) per calendar
|
||
year as a seed treatment application. Do not apply more than 0.013 lb mefenoxam per
|
||
Acre (5.7 g ai/A) per calendar year as a seed treatment application. Do not apply more
|
||
than 0.004 lb sedaxane per Acre (2.0 g ai/A) per calendar year as a seed treatment
|
||
application. Soybean seeds treated with this product contain 0.076 mg of
|
||
thiamethoxam/seed, 0.003 mg of azoxystrobin/seed, 0.004 mg of fludioxonil, 0.012 mg of
|
||
mefenoxam/seed, and 0.004 mg of sedaxane/seed.
|
||
x 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 application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product
|
||
containing the lowest yearly total on that crop.
|
||
x Do not apply a neonicotinoid insecticide within 45 days of planting soybean seeds treated
|
||
with this product.
|
||
x Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch.
|
||
x Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect
|
||
treated seeds spilled during loading and in areas such as row ends.
|
||
x Dispose of all excess treated seed. Leftover treated seed may be doublesown around the
|
||
headland or buried away from water sources in accordance with local requirements.
