-5- DIRECTIONS FOR USE AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS 1 Coveralls • Socks plus shoes 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. 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. It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. 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. 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. 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, wear: FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

-6- GENERAL INFORMATION MIXING PROCEDURES Tank Mixtures FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. Dividend XL RTA is a systemic seed dressing that controls or suppresses certain seed- borne. soil-borne, and early season foliar diseases of wheat and barley. It is a mixture of Dividend and Apron XL®. Apron XL 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. Follow the label directions for the most restrictive of label precautions and limitations. This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against such mixing. Dividend XL RTA is especially formulated for on-farm treatment, using standard mechanical slurry- or mist-type seed treatment equipment which accurately meters and mixes a flowable seed treatment. The equipment must provide uniform coverage of Dividend XL RTA on the seed. Uneven seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. This product does not require the addition of water for application. 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. Note: Mefenoxam is a systemic fungicide having a specific mode of action. Apron XL LS could be subject to development of insensitive strains of fungi. Development of insensitivity cannot be predicted. Therefore. Syngenta cannot assume liability for crop damage resulting from insensitive strains of fungi. Consult with your State Agricultural Experiment Station or Extension Service Specialist for guidance and ways to control any possible mefenoxam insensitive strains of fungi which may occur. • Chemical-resistant gloves made of: barrier laminate, butyl rubber >14 mils, nitrile rubber >14 mils, neoprene rubber >14 mils, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) >14 mils, or Viton® >14 mils Confirm physical compatibility, seed safety, seed safety in stored seed, and biological efficacy before tank mixing with other seed treatment products.

-7- RESTRICTIONS Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes. Store away from feeds and foodstuffs. Green wheat forage may not be grazed until 55 days after planting. Green barley forage may not be grazed until 30 days after planting. SEED BAG LABEL REQUIREMENT Resistance Management GROUP Do not plant any crop other than those on this label within 30 days to fields in which treated seeds were planted. 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. Federal law requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with the following information: “This seed has been treated with the fungicides difenoconazole (CAS No. 119446-68-3) and mefenoxam (CAS Nos. 70630-17-0 and 69516-34-3). Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes. Store away from feeds and foodstuffs. Green wheat forage may not be grazed until 55 days after planting. Green barley forage may not be grazed until 30 days after planting. Do not plant any crop other than those on this label within 30 days to fields in which treated seeds were planted.” To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: • Rotate the use of Dividend XL RTA 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. DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP MEFENOXAM For resistance management, please note that Dividend XL RTA contains Group 3/difenoconazole and Group 4/mefenoxam fungicides. Any fungal populations may contain individuals naturally resistant to Dividend XL RTA and other Group 3, and 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. 4ldll?MMlBig

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).
