Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed or seed known to be of low vigor and poor quality may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor. Treat a quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Prior to treatment, conduct germination tests on a portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment. Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Syngenta, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of seed or propagating material for all crop seed when treated with CruiserMaxx APX.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION CruiserMaxx APX is a seed treatment product containing the active ingredients thiamethoxam (insecticide) and fludioxonil, mefenoxam, picarbutrazox and sedaxane (fungicides). CruiserMaxx APX protects against damage from listed early-season insects, soil-borne and seed-borne diseases. 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. Picarbutrazox fungicide is active against Pythium and Phytophthora causing seed rot and damping-off. Fludioxonil fungicide is active against Fusarium and Rhizoctonia, and suppresses seed-borne Sclerotinia as well as provides protection from seed-borne Diaporthe-Phomopsis disease complex sometimes referred to as pod and stem blight (Phomopsis spp. & Diaporthe spp.). Fludioxonil also protects against Helminthosporium, and weakly pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus and Penicillium. Sedaxane fungicide is active against seed decay, seedling blight and damping-off caused by Rhizoctonia species. 3.1 Resistance Management

THIAMETHOXAM GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE

For resistance management, CruiserMaxx APX contains thiamethoxam, a Group 4A insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to CruiserMaxx APX and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect

CruiserMaxx APX Page 7 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. To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps: x Rotate the use of CruiserMaxx APX or other Group 4A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests. x 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 k nown 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. x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides 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. x 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. x 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. x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta at 1-866- 796-4368.

Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term protection from the insect pests on this label.

CruiserMaxx APX Page 8 MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE PICARBUTRAZOX GROUP U17 FUNGICIDE

For resistance management, please note that CruiserMaxx APX contains Group 4/mefenoxam, Group 7/sedaxane, Group 12/fludioxonil and Group U17/picarbutrazox fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to CruiserMaxx APX and other Group 4, Group 7, Group 12 and Group U17 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: x Rotate the use of CruiserMaxx APX or other Group 4, Group 7, Group 12 or Group U17 fungicides within a growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens. x 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. 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.

4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS

CruiserMaxx APX Page 9 4.1 Mixing Directions Important: Always re-circulate CruiserMaxx APX thoroughly before using.

The typical density of CruiserMaxx APX is 9.35 pounds per gallon. 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. Follow the manufacturer application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used.

Apply CruiserMaxx APX 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 disease control. Thoroughly mix the specified amount of CruiserMaxx APX into the required amount of water or liquid inoculant for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used.

Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted. CruiserMaxx APX is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta representative for directions before applying CruiserMaxx APX 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 adequate coverage is 4.0 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed. 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.

Follow planter manufacturer specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives at planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.

Required Dye Statement: Seed treated with this product must be visually identifiable from untreated seed by the use of an approved colorant or dye to prevent accidental use of treated seed as food for humans or feed for animals. Refer to 21 CFR, Part 2.25. Any colorant or dye added to treated seed must be cleared for use in accordance with 40 CFR, Part 153.155(c).

4.1.1 Tank-Mix Precautions Mixing CruiserMaxx APX with tank-mix partners: Add 1/2 of the required water to the mix tank and turn on the agitation.

Mechanical agitation is preferred. Follow WALES method for mixing order of seed treatment products. Allow each tank-mix partner to completely disperse before adding the next product. Add the remaining amount of water and agitate. Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been used.

CruiserMaxx APX Page 10 Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out of the solution. Clean out any unused product from the treater after treating or maintain constant agitation if the leftover slurry will be maintained overnight.

It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and follow the applicable restrictions and limitations and directions for use on all product labels involved in tank mixing. Users must follow the most restrictive directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.

4.1.2 Tank-Mix Compatibility When mixing CruiserMaxx APX with other seed treatment products, test the compatibility prior to use by conducting a jar test: mix all intended seed treatments with the appropriate amount of water in a clear glass container. Mix well and allow mixture to sit for one hour. Remix and observe for incompatibility.
