Therefore, should the Agency find or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false 
or misleading statements or claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, 
the website will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
A copy of your label stamped “Accepted” is enclosed. Products shipped after 12 months from the

User Safety Recommendations
Users should:
Environmental Hazards
If treated seed is spilled outdoors or in areas accessible to birds, promptly clean up or 
bury to prevent ingestion.
This product is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Do not apply directly to water, to 
areas where surface water is present, or to intertidal areas below the mean high water 
mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
When handlers use closed systems or enclosed cabs 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.
• Remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly 
and put on clean clothing.
• Wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco, or using the 
toilet.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
1
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 application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product 
containing the lowest yearly total on that crop.
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its 
labeling.
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.
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection 
Standard, 40 CFR part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of 
agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of 
agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination 
notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and 
exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective 
equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply 
to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard.

GENERAL INFORMATION
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
GROUP
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS 
LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR 
ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

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.
Dividend XL is a systemic seed dressing that controls or suppresses certain seed- 
borne. soil-borne, and fall foliar diseases of wheat. It is a mixture of Dividend and Apron 
XL® LS. Apron XL LS provides Pythium damping-off activity and Dividend provides 
activity on the remaining diseases claimed on this label. An EPA-approved coloring 
agent, Pigment Red 48 has been added to the formulation.
DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP
MEFENOXAM
FUNGICIDE
FUNGICIDE
For resistance management, please note that Dividend XL contains Group 
3/difenoconazole and Group 4/ mefenoxam fungicides. Any fungal population may 
contain individuals naturally resistant to Dividend XL and other Group 3 or Group 4 
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.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of Dividend XL or other Group 3 or Group 4 fungicides within a 
growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Apply Dividend XL as a water-based slurry through standard slurry or mist-type 
commercial seed treaters. Prepare a slurry by mixing Dividend XL in up to 16 fl. oz. of 
water per 100 lbs. of seed. Mix the slurry thoroughly with the seed to provide uniform 
coverage.

foliar diseases, use Tilt® fungicide according to label instructions.
^Partial control can either mean erratic control from good to poor or consistent control at a level below 
that generally considered acceptable for commercial disease control.

be grazed until 55 days after planting. (3) Do not plant any crop other than wheat within
30 days to fields in which treated seeds were planted.
Note: Federal law requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with the 
following information: “This seed has been treated with difenoconazole and mefenoxam 
fungicides. Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes. Store away from feeds and 
foodstuffs. Green wheat may not be grazed until 55 days after planting. Do not plant
