ncy assistance. It also contains specific instructions and
exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective
equipment (PPE), notification to workers, and restricted-entry interval. The requirements
in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection
Standard.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted entry
interval (REI) of 48 hours. Exception: If the seed is treated with the product and the
treated seed is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under
certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no
contact with anything that has been treated.
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 of barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥14 mils,
neoprene rubber ≥14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥14 mils, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ≥14
mils, or Viton ≥14 mils
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 all crop seed when treated with Vibrance Maxx RTA.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
Vibrance Maxx RTA is a seed treatment product containing the active ingredients
thiabendazole, sedaxane, mefenoxam and fludioxonil (fungicides). Vibrance Maxx RTA
protects against damage from listed soil- and seed-borne diseases of peas and beans
(except soybeans).
Refer to the Directions for Use section for approved crops and diseases controlled by
Vibrance Maxx RTA.
3.1 Resistance Management
THIABENDAZOLE GROUP 1 FUNGICIDE
MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE
SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
For resistance management, please note that Vibrance Maxx RTA contains Group
1/thiabendazole, Group 4/mefenoxam, Group 7/sedaxane and Group 12/fludioxonil
fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Vibrance
Maxx RTA and other Group 1, Group 4, Group 7 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.
Thiabendazole belongs to the methyl-benzimidazole carbamate class of chemistry
which disrupts ß-tubulin assembly in mitosis. 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. 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 Vibrance Maxx RTA or other Group 1, Group 4, Group 7 or Group
12 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control
the same pathogens.
x Use tank mixtures with fung icides 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.
Vibrance Maxx RTA
Page 9
x Where possible, make use of predictive di sease 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.
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.
Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term
control of the fungal diseases on this label.
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
Important: Re-circulate Vibrance Maxx RTA thoroughly before using.
Follow the manufacturers application instructions for the seed treatment equipment
being used.
Apply Vibrance Maxx RTA 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 disease control.
Thoroughly mix the specified amount of Vibrance Maxx RTA 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.
Vibrance Maxx RTA is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the
maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta representative for directions before
applying Vibrance Maxx RTA with inoculants.
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 5.0 fl oz/100 lb of seed for all crops except chickpea. For
chickpea, a total slurry volume of 8 fl oz/100 lb of seed is recommended. More diluent
may be required to obtain optimal coverage.
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.
Vibrance Maxx RTA
Page 10
Vibrance Maxx RTA contains an EPA-approved colorant that imparts an unnatural color
to the seed as required by the Federal Seed Act.
Allow seed to dry before bagging.
Follow planter manufacturers specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives
at planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.
4.1 Tank Mixtures
Vibrance Maxx RTA mixes easily with water and other water-based seed treatments
manufactured by Syngenta and many other companies. 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 to achieve the desired
slurry mixture in a clear glass container. Mix well and allow mixture to sit for one hour.
Remix and observe for incompatibility.
Mixing Vibrance Maxx RTA 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 Vibrance Maxx RTA 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.

7.0 SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENTS
The Federal Seed Act requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with
the following statements:
x This seed has been treated with thiabendazole, sedaxane, mefenoxam and
fludioxonil fungicides.
x Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes.
In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements
on bags containing seeds treated with Vibrance Maxx RTA:
x 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.
o Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during loading and planting in areas
(such as in row ends).
o Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed away from bodies of
water.
x Ground Water Advisory: Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into groundwater
under certain conditions as a result of label use. Fludioxonil has 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 Surface Water Advisory: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff
of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
Vibrance Maxx RTA

0.16 fl oz/100 lb of seed of Apron XL.
When to add additional Mertect® 340-F, EPA Reg. No. 100-889 (thiabendazole):
For heavy Ascochyta infections in field pea, pigeon pea and lentil add the labeled rate of
Mertect 340-F minus the equivalent amount in Vibrance Maxx RTA for best protection.
For heavy Ascochyta infections of chickpeas, add the labeled rate of Mertect 340-F as
directed on the Mertect 340-F label minus the equivalent amount in Vibrance Maxx
RTA. For best results against Ascochyta blight, plant chickpeas, peas or lentil seed
treated with Mertect 340-F fungicide as late in the spring as possible.
When applied at 5.0 fl oz/100 lb of seed, Vibrance Maxx RTA provides the equivalent of
0.5 fl oz/100 lb of seed of Mertect 340-F.
