USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
Users should wash hands before eating, drinking, chewing gum, using tobacco or using the toilet.
Users should remove clothing immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothes.
Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as
possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
This pesticide is toxic to mammals, fish, aquatic invertebrates, and freshwater/estuaries/marine aquatic plants. Do not apply directly
to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff may be hazardous
to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
Cover or incorporate spilled treated seed.
Groundwater Advisory: Prothioconazole-desthio (a degradate of prothioconazole), metalaxyl and tebuconazole are known to
leach through soil into ground water under certain conditions as a result of label use. Use of this product in areas where soils
are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow, may result in ground-water contamination.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.
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.
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Raxil® PRO MD is a combination of the systemic fungicides, prothioconazole, tebuconazole and metalaxyl which aids in the control
or suppression of the following seed, seedling and soilborne diseases of wheat, barley, oats, and triticale: stinking smut, flag smut,
loose smut, covered smut (common bunt), early season Septoria disease complex, general seed rots, Pythium damping-off, early
season Rhizoctonia root rot, early season common root rot, seedborne Fusarium scab, barley stripe, early season Fusarium foot
rot, early season suppression of powdery mildew (7.5 fluid ounce rate only) and rust.
In California – Registered only for use in commercial seed treating establishments. Not allowed for “on-farm” use.
USE RESTRICTIONS
• Maximum usage when applying both 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 with a hopper box,  planter box, slurry box, or any other at-plant methods.

3
APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
• Apply this product only as specified on this label. Use 5.0 – 7.5 fluid ounces of Raxil PRO MD per 100 pounds of seed.
Applications must be made using standard slurry or mist-type seed treatment equipment. In some instances, a chemical
slurry dilution may enhance coverage. A 1 part Raxil PRO MD with 1 part water dilution may be used.
• This product is for commercial or on-farm application. Uniform application to seed is necessary to ensure seed safety and
best disease control. Only use seed that is sound and well cured prior to treatment. Consult your area agronomist regarding
planting depth recommendations for the particular variety to be planted.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATION
For resistance management, please note that RAXIL PRO MD contains two Group 3 (demethylation inhibitors) and a Group 4
(phenylamides) fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to RAXIL PRO MD 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 RAXIL PRO MD or other Group 3 and 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.
• 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 crops and pathogens.
• For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience LP at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937).
You can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.

SEED BAG TAG
The Federal Seed Act requires that the container of seed treated with Raxil PRO MD must be labeled with the following statements:
This seed has been treated with Raxil PRO MD, which contains 1.47% of Prothioconazole, 0.29% of Tebuconazole, and 0.59% of Metalaxyl.
• Do not use treated seed for food, feed, or oil purposes. 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 in agronomic practice.
• Barley, wheat, oats, and triticale green forage may be grazed or harvested for hay 31 days after seeding.
• Store treated seeds away from food and feedstuffs.
• Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed.
• Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical-resistant gloves when handling treated seed.
• Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during loading.
• Dispose of all excess treated seed. Leftover treated seed may be buried away from water sources in accordance with
local requirements.
• Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment wash waters.
• Treated seed must be adequately covered with soil at planting.
• Dispose of seed packaging or containers in accordance with local requirements. Do not use empty seed bags for any
other purpose.
• To reduce seed dust which can drift onto blooming crops or weeds, ensure that planting equipment is functioning properly
in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Surplus seed or empty seed containers should be stored or
disposed according to local federal regulations.
• Treated at manufacturer’s recommended rate.
