RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
Mefenoxam belongs to the phenylamide class of chemistry which interferes with fungal 
RNA synthesis. Fludioxonil belongs to the phenylpyrrole class of chemistry which
4
12
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 Maxim XL.
Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low 
vigor and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease 
pests, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor. 
Treat using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct 
germination tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a 
selected seed treatment.
Maxim XL, a prepack of the active ingredients of Maxim 4FS (fludioxonil) and Apron 
XL® (mefenoxam), is a seed treatment fungicide which controls certain soil-borne and 
seed-borne diseases of crop plants. Fludioxonil is active against Fusarium 
Rhizoctonia, seed-borne Sclerotinia, Helminthosporium, Tilletia caries (which causes 
common bunt in wheat) and weakly pathogenic fungi, Aspergillus and Penicillium. 
Mefenoxam is active against Pythium, Phytophthora and systemic downy mildew. On 
some crops, additional Apron XL will be required to control Pythium, Phytophthora, and 
systemic downy mildew. The amount of additional Apron XL needed will depend on the 
level of disease pressure. Follow all directions on the Apron XL label if mixed with 
Maxim XL.

FLUDIOXONIL GROUP
FUNGICIDE
FUNGICIDE
For resistance management, please note that Maxim XL contains mefenoxam, a Group 
4 fungicide, and fludioxonil, a Group 12 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain 
individuals naturally resistant to Maxim XL and other Group 4 and 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.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY 
RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL 
RESIDUES.

interferes with osmotic signal transduction.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
J
MIXING PROCEDURES
The following guidelines may be used to determine the required rate of each 
product:
Apply Maxim XL 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 labeled 
amount of Maxim XL into the required amount of water for the slurry treater and dilution 
rate to be used.
Step 1 - Select the specified rate of Maxim XL required based on the expected level of 
Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, seed-borne Sclerotinia, Helminthosporium, Tilletia caries,
Aspergiiius, or PeniciHium. Use the higher specified rate (0.334 fl oz per 100 lb of seed) 
when high levels of disease are expected.
Step 2 - If necessary, select the rate of additional Apron XL required based on the 
expected level of Pythium, Phytophthora, or systemic downy mildew. See directions 
under each crop for specific rate.
Maxim XL 
Page 7
• Rotate the use of Maxim XL or other Group 4 or Group 12 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.
• Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional 
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crop 
and pathogens.
• 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.

SEED CONTAINER LABEL REQUIREMENTS
The Federal Seed Act requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with 
the following statements:
Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment 
being used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry during the treatment.
Maxim XL used at 0.167 fl oz per 100 lb seed will deliver 2.5 g fludioxonil and 1 g 
mefenoxam per 100 kg of seed. The 0.334 fl oz per 100 lb seed of Maxim XL will 
deliver 5 g fludioxonil and 2 g mefenoxam per 100 kg of seed.
In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements 
on bags containing seed treated with Maxim XL fungicide:
• This seed has been treated with fludioxonil and mefenoxam fungicides.
• Do not use treated seed for feed, food or oil purposes.
• Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed.
• 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.
• 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.
• Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch.
• Forage may not be grazed until 30 days after planting.
• Store treated seed away from food and feedstuffs.
• Do not allow children, pets or livestock to have access to treated seeds.
• Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt and chemical-resistant gloves when handling 
treated seed.
• Treated seed exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect 
treated seeds spilled during loading and planting.
• Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed away from bodies of water.
• Do not contaminate bodies of water when disposing of planting equipment 
washwater or rinsate.
• Dispose of seed package or containers in accordance with local requirements. 
Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol production only if (1) by-products are 
not used for livestock feed and (2) no measurable residues of pesticide remain in 
ethanol by-products that are used for agronomic practice.

DO NOT apply more than 0.0074 lb ai/Acre (3.4 g ai/Acre) per calendar year of 
mefenoxam- or metalaxyl-containing products as a seed treatment on Sorghum.
For protection against seed-borne and soil-borne fungi which cause seed decay^ 
damping-off, and seedling blights of sorghum, and for downy mildew protection on 
cultivars which possess sorghum downy mildew resistance, Maxim XL must be tank 
mixed with Apron XL. Apply 0.167 fl oz of Maxim XL (0.0011 mg ai per seed*) tank 
mixed with 0.278-0.598 fl oz of Apron XL (0.0020-0.0044 mg mefenoxam per seed*) 
per 100 lb of seed. When higher disease pressure is expected, apply 0.334 fl oz of 
Maxim XL (0.0022 mg ai per seed*) with an additional 0.235-0.555 fl oz of Apron XL 
(0.0017-0.0041 mg mefenoxam per seed*) per 100 lb of seed.
Note: Seed treated with the additional Apron XL (1.28 fl oz per 100 lb seed) should be 
planted and not stored or carried over to the following year. Only high quality sorghum 
seed (>90% germ) should be treated with Apron XL.
To those cultivars, which do not possess resistance to a particular race of sorghum 
downy mildew in areas with recent history of severe disease, apply 0.167 fl oz of Maxim 
XL (0.0011 mg ai per seed*) per 100 lb seed with an additional 1.28 fl oz of Apron XL 
(0.0094 mg mefenoxam per seed*) per 100 lb seed for suppression of downy mildew. If 
higher disease pressure is expected, apply 0.334 fl oz of Maxim XL (0.0022 mg ai per 
seed*) with an additional 1.195 fl oz of Apron XL (0.0088 mg mefenoxam per seed*) per 
100 lb seed.
