Product Information
Read the entire Directions For Use and Conditions of
Sale and Warranty before using this product.
This package contains CerexiaTM Xemium® brand fungi-
cide, a broad-spectrum fungicide formulated on a clay
carrier. Cerexia contains two active ingredients,
 fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin, belonging to the
 carboxamide (SDHI) group of fungicides and strobilurin
group of fungicides, respectively.
When applied within the seed furrow (in-furrow) Cerexia
inhibits spore germination, mycelial growth and sporulation
of the fungus to control or suppress soil-borne/seedling
diseases. Optimum disease control is achieved when
Cerexia is applied as a system with seed treatments
and/or foliar fungicides and is used in a rotation program
with other fungicides. 
Apply recommended rate of Cerexia as instructed in the
following application rate table. Apply Cerexia in-furrow as
specified. Equipment should be checked frequently for
proper calibration. 
Resistance Management Recommendations
For resistance management, please note that Cerexia
contains both a Group 7 (fluxapyroxad) and Group 11
(pyraclostrobin) fungicide. Any fungal population may con-
tain individual isolates naturally resistant to Cerexia
fungicide and other Group 7 and Group 11 fungicides. A
gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if
these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields
under use patterns that may select for resistant isolates.
Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of
action but are specific for individual chemicals, such as
enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resist-
ance management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance:
• Adhere to the label instructions regarding the use of
Cerexia fungicide or other Group 7 or Group 11 fungi-
cides as stated in the Crop-specific Restrictions and
Limitations section of the label. 
• Cerexia use should be based on an Integrated Pest
Management (IPM) program that includes scouting, his-
torical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation
and considers cultural, biological and other chemical
control practices.
• Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance devel-
opment. If disease continues to progress after treatment
with this product, DO NOT increase the use rate.
Discontinue use of this product, and switch to another
fungicide with a different target site of action, if available.
• Contact your local extension specialist, or certified crop
advisers for any additional pesticide resistance-
 management and/or IPM recommendations for specific
crops and pathogens.
Application Instructions
For In-furrow Applications Only
Use 0.05 to 0.24 lb of Cerexia per 1000 row feet. Rate per
1000 row feet is dependent on the crop row spacing. Refer

 In-furrow Calculation to determine the rate per acre.
Apply at planting as an in- furrow application by directing
the granules into the furrow before the seed is covered.

disposal. Open dumping is prohibited.

Table 2. CerexiaTM Xemium® brand fungicide In-furrow Calculation
Cerexia is designed to be applied to the seed furrow using a separate metering system on the seeder cart. DO NOT mix
Cerexia with seed or fertilizer or any other granular product (unless an exception is specified) within the seeder tank as
product calibration will be inaccurate due to differences in bulk density and bulk flow properties.
