PRODUCT INFORMATION 
 
THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS is a seed treatment product containing the active 
ingredients thiamethoxam (insecticide) and fludioxonil, thiabendazole, mefenoxam and 
sedaxane (fungicides). THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS protects against damage from 
listed early-season insects, soil-borne and seed-borne diseases of soybeans. 
 
Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid 
class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam protects against listed chewing and sucking insects 
through contact and ingestion. 
 
Mefenoxam fungicide is active against Pythium, Phytophthora and systemic downy 
mildew. 
 
Thiabendazole fungicide is active for protection against phomopsis spp. to improve 
germination and early season seedling health. Thiabendazole also suppresses seed-
borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis species. 
 
Fludioxonil fungicide is active against Fusarium and Rhizoctonia, and suppresses seed-
borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis species. 
 
Sedaxane fungicide is active against seed decay, seedling blight and damping-off 
caused by Rhizoctonia species. 
 
 
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT 
 
THIABENDAZOLE GROUP 1 FUNGICIDE 
MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE 
SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE 
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE 
 
For resistance management, please note that THX-MXM/FDL/TBZ/SDX FS contains 
Group 1/ thiabendazole, Group 4/ mefenoxam, Group 7/sedaxane and Group 
12/fludioxonil fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally

THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS 
Page 7 
(MASTER) 
 
resistant to THX-MXM/FDL/TBZ/SDX FS 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 a MAP/histidine protein kinase in 
osmotic signal transduction. 
 
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps: 
x Rotate the use of THX-MXM/FDL/TBZ/SDX FS 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 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. 
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. 
x 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. 
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. 
 
THIAMETHOXAM GROUP
4A INSECTICIDE
 
For resistance management, THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS contains a Group 
4A/thiamethoxam insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally 
resistant to THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS and other Group 4A insecticides. The 
resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are 
used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies 
should be followed. 
Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry 
which includes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists.

THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS 
Page 8 
(MASTER) 
 
 
In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry: 
x Use products at their full, specified doses. 
x Use appropriate, well-maintained equipment. Use specified water volumes and apply 
at optimal temperatures in order to obtain optimal treatment. 
x When rate ranges are given, use the higher rate within the listed rate range when 
insect pressure is expected to be high. 
x Avoid using a single active ingredient or mode of action (same insecticide group) 
exclusively for season long control of insect species with more than one generation 
per crop season. 
x For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, use a treatment 
window approach. A treatment window is a period of time defined by the stage of 
crop development and the biology of the pests of concern. Within the treatment 
window, depending on the length of residual activity, single or consecutive 
applications may be made using seed, in-furrow, or foliar treatments unless 
otherwise excluded by product labels. Do not exceed the maximum amount of this 
insecticide’s mode of action allowed per growing season. 
x Following a treatment window of this insecticide’s mode of action, rotate to a 
treatment window of effective products with a different mode of action before making 
additional applications of this insecticide. 
 
Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) practices include: 
ƒ Incorporating IPM techniques into your insect control program. 
ƒ Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy. 
ƒ Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a different target site of 
action group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same crop 
outlet and effective rates are applied. 
For additional information on Insecticide or Fungicide Resistance Management: 
x Contact Syngenta representatives at 1-800-334-9481 
x Contact your local Cooperative Extension Service specialist, pest control advisor, or 
certified crop advisor

For any other crop, the minimum plant back interval is 120 days from the date the 
THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS treated seed was planted. A cover crop other than the 
crops listed above that is planted for erosion control or soil improvement may be planted 
sooner than the 120 day interval; however, the crop may not be grazed or harvested for 
food or feed. 
 
 
MIXING PROCEDURES 
 
Important: Always re-circulate THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS thoroughly before using. 
 
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.

THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS 
Page 10 
(MASTER) 
 
Follow the manufacturer application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being 
used. 
 
Use an EPA approved dye/colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed as 
required in 40CFR 153.155(c). 
 
Apply THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry or 
direct inject 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 specified amount of THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS into the required 
amount of water or liquid inoculant for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. For 
direct product inject systems, add the required amount of water or liquid inoculant 
during application. 
 
Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted. 
THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. 
Consult the maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta representative for directions 
before applying THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS 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 minimum adequate coverage is 4.0 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed 
assuming an average seed size of 3,000 seeds per pound (slurry volume will vary 
depending on seed size). More diluent may be required to obtain complete coverage. 
 
Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out 
of the solution. 
 
Allow seed to dry before bagging or reprocessing directly after treating operation. 
 
Follow planter manufacturer specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives 
at planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter. 
 
 
SEED BAG 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 thiamethoxam insecticide and fludioxonil, 
mefenoxam, thiabendazole and sedaxane 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 THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS: 
 
x Ground Water Advisory:

THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS 
Page 11 
(MASTER) 
 
Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals 
detected in ground water. This chemical may leach into the ground water if used 
in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow. 
Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into ground water under certain 
conditions as a result of agricultural use. This chemical may leach into the 
ground water if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the 
water table is shallow. 
x Pollinator Precautions: 
Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees, and effects are possible as a result of 
exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops. 
x 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 the ethanol by-products that are used in agronomic practice. 
x Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed. 
x Store away from feeds and foodstuffs. 
x Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical resistant gloves when handling 
treated seed. 
x Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or 
collect treated seeds spilled during loading. 
x Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch. 
x Dispose of all excess treated seed. Leftover treated seed may be doublesown 
around the headland or buried away from water sources in accordance with local 
requirements. 
x Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment wash 
waters. 
x Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements. 
x Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting seed 
treated with THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS.
