Product Information
Xemium® 2.72 fungicide ST is a broad- spectrum fungi-
cide that provides preventive seed and seedling protection
from several seed-borne and soil-borne diseases . Make all
applications according to the use directions in this label .
Use the higher rates of Xemium 2.72 when disease pres-
sure is expected to be high .
Resistance Management
Fluxapyroxad, the active ingredient of Xemium 2.72 ,
belongs to the group of respiration inhibitors classified by
the U .S . EPA and Canada PMRA as a target-site-of-action
Group 7 fungicide . Because of the minimal amounts of
Xemium 2.72 applied to the seed, the potential for devel-
opment of resistance is low . Therefore, Xemium 2.72
seed treatments can be followed by foliar use . Follow
resistance management guidelines of foliar use fungicides
containing fluxapyroxad as specified on the respective
labels .
Application Instructions
For use at commercial treatment facilities.
Apply Xemium 2.72 as a water-based mixture using stan-
dard slurry or mist-type seed treatment application
equipment . The exact amount of water needed to provide
the mixture or slurry rate (ml/100 kg or oz/cwt of seed) for
optimum coverage is difficult to predict because weather
conditions (hot or cold), seed type and surface, and equip -
ment used all have a bearing on coverage . Consult a seed
treatment specialist regarding specified slurry rates for the
crop seed to be treated with Xemium 2.72 . The required
amount of Xemium 2.72 must then be diluted with the
specified amount of water that will provide uniform and
complete coverage on the seed surface . Uniform applica-
tion on seed and complete seed coverage are necessary
for seed safety and best disease protection . Seed must be
of a good quality and well cleaned before treatment .
The purchaser of Xemium 2.72 is responsible for ensuring
that all seed treated with this product are adequately dyed
with a suitable color to prevent accidental use as food for
man or feed for animals . Refer to 21CFR, Part 2 .25 . Use an
EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural
color to the seed . Any dye or colorant added to treated
seed must be cleared for use under 40CFR, Part 180 .900,
“Exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance” . Federal
regulations have established official tolerances or exemp -
tions from tolerances for residues on food and forage
crops that must not be exceeded when the product (dye
or colorant) is used at specified rates .
Consult the seed treatment specialist for calibration and
operation procedures of the seed treatment equipment
being used . Mechanical agitation is required for proper
mixing of Xemium 2.72 . Prepare no more mixture of
Xemium 2.72 than is needed for immediate treating . Add
3/4 of the required volume of water to the mix tank . With
agitation running, add the required amount of
Xemium 2.72 in the tank along with other seed treatment
components . Add the remaining 1/4 amount of the
required volume of water . Use the mixing sequence that
follows in the Tank Mixing Instructions section . Agitate
thoroughly before and during application .
Xemium 2.72 with Tank Mix Partners
Xemium 2.72 mixes easily with water and other water-
based seed treatments . When using Xemium 2.72 in a
tank mixture with seed treatment products, observe all
directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios,
precautions, limitations, and restrictions that appear on the
tank mix partner label . Label dosage or application rate
must not be exceeded, and the most restrictive label pre -
cautions, limitations and restrictions must be followed .
Xemium 2.72 must not be mixed with any product that
prohibits such mixing . All applications must be made
according to the use directions .
When mixing Xemium 2.72 with seed treatment products,
test the compatibility before use by conducting a jar test as
follows:
1 . Mix all intended seed treatments with the appropriate
amount of water in a clear glass container .
2 . Mix well and allow to sit for 1 hour .
3 . Remix and observe for incompatibility .
Physical compatibility is only part of compatibility . Testing
also needs to be done with the seed to make sure the
combination of products does not have detrimental effects
on the seed .
Tank Mixing Instructions
1 . Add 3/4 of the required amount of water to the mix tank
and turn on the agitation . Mechanical agitation is
preferred .
2 . Use the following mixing sequence: dye or colorant,
wettable powders, soluble powders, flowable formula-
tions, emulsifiable concentrates, and remaining 1/4 of
the required water . The 1/4 of the required water as the
last item for addition to the premix tank can be used as
rinsate for the chemical container or to adjust the total
slurry to compensate for water displacement by pow-
dered products .
3 . Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been
used .
4 . Ensure that seed is dry before bagging .

SEED LABELING NOTE
The Federal Seed Act requires that containers contain -
ing treated seeds shall be labeled with the following
statements:
• This seed has been treated with
Xemium®  2.72  fungicide  ST (EPA Reg . No . 7969-308),
a fungicide containing fluxapyroxad .
• DO NOT use treated seed for food, feed, or oil
purposes .
The U .S . Environmental Protection Agency requires the
following statements on containers of seed treated with
fluxapyroxad:
• Store treated seed away from food and feedstuffs .
• DO NOT allow children, pets or livestock to have
access to treated seed .
• Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, shoes plus socks,
and chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material including barrier laminate, butyl rubber
≥ 14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber
≥ 14 mils, natural rubber ≥ 14 mils, polyethylene,
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ≥ 14 mils, or viton ≥ 14 mils
when handling treated seed .
• Treated seed exposed on soil surfaces may be haz-
ardous to wildlife . Plant treated seed into the soil to the
specified minimum depth or greater to minimize expo-
sure . For cotton, the minimum depth is 1/2 inch . For
sugar beet, the minimum depth is 1 inch .
• For sugar beet, DO NOT apply more than 0 .02 lb of
active ingredient per acre .
• Cover or collect treated seed spilled during loading
and planting, in particular at row ends and field
corners .
• 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 .
• Dispose of seed packaging or containers in accor-
dance with local requirements .
• Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol produc -
tion 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 .
• Environmental Hazards: This pesticide is toxic to
fish and aquatic invertebrates . Runoff may be hazard-
ous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to treated
areas .
• Groundwater Advisory: This chemical has proper-
ties and characteristics associated with chemicals
detected in groundwater . This chemical may leach into
groundwater if used in areas where soils are perme -
able, particularly where the water table is shallow .
(continued)
SEED LABELING NOTE (continued)
• Surface Water Advisory: This product may impact
surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater . This is
especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with
shallow groundwater . This product is classified as hav-
ing a high potential for reaching surface water for
several months or more after application . A level,
well-maintained vegetative buffer strip between areas
to which this product is applied and surface water fea -
tures including ponds, streams, and springs will
reduce the potential loading of fluxapyroxad from
runoff water and sediment . Runoff of this product will
be reduced by avoiding the planting of treated seed
when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within
48 hours .
• In the event of crop failure or harvest of a crop grown
from this seed, the field may be replanted immediately
with barley, berries and small fruits, Brassica leafy veg-
etables, bulb vegetables, corn (all types), cotton,
cucurbit vegetables, dried shelled peas and beans,
edible-podded legume vegetables, fruiting vegetables,
grapes, leafy vegetables, mint (spearmint and pepper -
mint), nongrass animal feeds (forage, fodder, straw,
and hay), oat, oilseed crops (including flax seed, rape -
seed and sunflower), peanut, pome fruits, rice, root
vegetables, rye, sorghum and millet, soybean, stone
fruits, strawberries, succulent shelled peas and beans,
sugar beet, sugarcane, tree nuts, tuberous and corm
vegetables (including potato), wheat and triticale or any
other crop for which a tolerance for fluxapyroxad
exists . For all other crops, the minimum plant back
interval is 12 months from the date this seed was
planted .
• A cover crop without a tolerance for fluxapyroxad
may be planted for purposes of erosion control or soil
improvement; however, the crop must not be grazed
or harvested for food or feed .
