Dear Mrs. Patsy Laird:
|
||
The Agency, in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
|
||
(FIFRA), as amended, has completed reviewing all the information submitted with your
|
||

|
||
connection with the Sedaxane Interim Decision, and has concluded that your submission
|
||
is acceptable. The label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under
|
||
FIFRA, as amended, is acceptable.
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then
|
||
please be aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide,
|
||
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is
|
||
false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute
|
||
under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may
|
||
consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on
|
||
your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those
|
||
claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it
|
||
is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or
|
||
claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be

PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Cruiser Vibrance Quattro is a seed treatment product containing one insecticide active
|
||
ingredient (thiamethoxam) and four fungicide active ingredients (difenoconazole,
|
||
mefenoxam, fludioxonil and sedaxane). Cruiser Vibrance Quattro seed treatment
|
||
protects against damage from certain early-season insects and certain seed- and soil-
|
||
borne diseases of cereal crops. Difenoconazole provides protection against several
|
||
seed, seedling and certain foliar disease including bunts and smuts. Mefenoxam
|
||
protects against damping-off caused by Pythium. Fludioxonil provides protection
|
||
against certain soil-borne and seed-borne diseases and is active against Fusarium,
|
||
Rhizoctonia, and weakly pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus and Penicillium.
|
||
Sedaxane protects against Rhizoctonia and loose smuts (Ustilago).
|
||
Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neoticotinoid
|
||
class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam in Cruiser Vibrance Quattro protects against aphids,
|
||
wireworm and European chafer.
|
||
|
||
Cruiser Vibrance Quattro may be applied in tank mixes, or sequentially with other EPA-
|
||
registered seed treatment pesticide products. If using Cruiser Vibrance Quattro in a tank
|
||
mixture with other seed treatment products, observe all directions for use, crops/sites,
|
||
use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations which appear on the tank-mix
|
||
partner label(s). Do not exceed any label dosage and follow the most restrictive label
|
||
precautions and limitations. This product must not be mixed with any product which
|
||
prohibits such mixing.
|
||
|
||
|
||
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
Important:Always re-circulate Cruiser Vibrance Quattro thoroughly before using.
|
||
Apply Cruiser Vibrance Quattro as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed
|
||
treatment equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed
|
||
coverage may not give the desired level of insect and disease control.
|
||
|
||
Consult the manufacturer of the application equipment you plan to employ for suitability
|
||
for this application and for instructions on operation and calibration of the equipment.
|
||
Follow the manufacturer application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being
|
||
used.
|
||
|
||
Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out of
|
||
the solution.
|
||
|
||

||
feet away from bodies of water at a depth of 6 inches or double the planting
|
||
depth, whichever is greater.
|
||
o Dispose of excess treated seed by placing them in a landfill in accordance
|
||
with applicable laws in your state.
|
||
|
||
-11-
|
||
o Return excess treated seed to the supplier if permitted by the state.
|
||
For seed treated with Cruiser Vibrance Quattro, do not graze or feed livestock on
|
||
treated areas for 45 days after planting.
|
||
In the event of a crop failure or harvest of a crop grown from Cruiser Vibrance
|
||
Quattro treated seed, the field may be replanted immediately to canola, soybean,
|
||
barley, oat, rye triticale, wheat, sweet corn, and chickpea.
|
||
Alfalfa, Brassica(Cole) leafy vegetables, buckwheat, corn (except sweet corn),
|
||
pearl millet, Proso millet, popcorn, rice (dry-seeded), sorghum, teosinte, wild rice,
|
||
cotton, Cucurbit vegetables, dry bulb onions, fruiting vegetables, leafy
|
||
vegetables, Legume vegetables (except chickpea), mint (peppermint and
|
||
spearmint), oil seed crops (black mustard seed, borage seed, crambe seed, field
|
||
mustard seed, flax seed, Indian mustard seed, Indian rapeseed seed, peanuts,
|
||
rapeseed seed, and safflower seed), root vegetables, strawberry, sunflowers,
|
||
tobacco, and tuberous and corm vegetables may be planted 30 days from the
|
||
date the Cruiser Vibrance Quattro treated seed was planted.
|
||
For any other crop, the minimum plant back interval is 120 days from the date the
|
||
Cruiser Vibrance Quattro 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.
|
||
Regardless of type of application (seed treatment, soil or foliar), do not apply
|
||
more than 0.46 lb/A (208.7 g ai/A) difenoconazole per calendar year.
|
||
Do not make any soil or foliar application of products containing thiamethoxam to
|
||
crops grown from seed treated with Cruiser Vibrance Quattro.
|
||
Do not apply more than 0.05 lb/A (22.7 g ai/A) thiamethoxam, 0.097 lb/A (44.0 g
|
||
ai/A) mefenoxam- or metalaxyl, or 0.016 lb ai/A (7.1 g ai/A) sedaxane per year as
|
||
a seed treatment application.
|
||
This seed has been treated with 0.008 mg ai thiamethoxam per seed assuming
|
||
an average seed size of 12,000 seeds per pound.
|
||
Pollinator Precaution: Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees, and effects are
|
||
possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops.
|
||
Groundwater Advisory: Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into
|
||
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use. Use of this
|
||
chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table
|
||
is shallow, may result in groundwater contamination. Thiamethoxam has
|
||
properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
|
||
groundwater. This chemical may leach into the groundwater if used in areas
|
||
where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
Advisory Dust-Reducing Technique: The use of seed flow lubricants or
|
||
polymer coatings may help decrease the amount of dust released during
|
||
planting. Follow the recommendations of the planter manufacturer regarding the
|
||
use of seed flow lubricants.

Fungicide Resistance Management
|
||
For resistance management, please note that Cruiser Vibrance Quattro contains Group
|
||
3/difenoconazole, Group 4/mefenoxam, Group 7/sedaxane, and Group 12/fludioxonil
|
||
fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Cruiser
|
||
Vibrance Quattro and other Group 3, 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.
|
||
|
||
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. 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 osmotic signal transduction.
|
||
|
||
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
|
||
Rotate the use of Cruiser Vibrance Quattro or other Group 3, Group 4, Group 7,
|
||
or Group 12 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups
|
||
that control the same pathogens.
|
||
Use tank mixtures with fungicides 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 application. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to
|
||
manage resistance.
|
||
Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
|
||

pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific
|
||
crops and pathogens.

|
||
THIAMETHOXAM GROUP4A INSECTICIDE
|
||
Insecticide Resistance Management
|
||
For resistance management, note that Cruiser Vibrance Quattro contains a Group 4A
|
||
insecticide (thiamethoxam, belonging to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry). Any
|
||
insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Cruiser Vibrance Quattro
|
||
and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect
|
||
population if these insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate
|
||
resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||
|
||
To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
|
||
Rotate the use of Cruiser Vibrance Quattro or other Group 4A insecticides within a
|
||
growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the
|
||
same pests.
|
||
Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that are equally effective
|
||
on the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture
|
||
repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider any known cross-resistance
|
||
issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture. In
|
||
addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the Insecticide
|
||
Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
|
||
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and
|
||
be applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against
|
||
the target species.
|
||
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification
|
||
are not recommended for insect resistance management.
|
||
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the
|
||
individual components for the targeted pest(s).
|
||
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both
|
||
active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
|
||
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest
|
||
if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity.
|
||
Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may
|
||
offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the period where both
|
||
insecticides are active.
|
||
|
||
-14-
|
||
Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes
|
||
scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record
|
||
keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control
|
||
practices.
|
||
Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival
|
||
suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or
|
||
certified pest control advisor.
|
||
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional
|
||
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and
|
||
pest problems in your area.
|
||

|
||
