3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA is a seed treatment product containing the active ingredients
|
||
thiabendazole, sedaxane, mefenoxam and fludioxonil (fungicides). Vibrance Maxx RTA
|
||
protects against damage from listed soil- and seed-borne diseases of peas and beans
|
||
(except soybeans).
|
||
|
||
Refer to the Directions for Use section for approved crops and diseases controlled by
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA.
|
||
|
||
3.1 Resistance Management
|
||
THIABENDAZOLE GROUP 1 FUNGICIDE
|
||
MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE
|
||
SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE
|
||
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
|
||
|
||
For resistance management, please note that Vibrance Maxx RTA contains Group
|
||
1/thiabendazole, Group 4/mefenoxam, Group 7/sedaxane and Group 12/fludioxonil
|
||
fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Vibrance
|
||
Maxx RTA 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 osmotic signal transduction.
|
||
|
||
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
|
||
x Rotate the use of Vibrance Maxx RTA 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 fung icides 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.
|
||
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA
|
||
Page 9
|
||
|
||
x Where possible, make use of predictive di sease 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.
|
||
|
||
Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long-term
|
||
control of the fungal diseases on this label.
|
||
|
||
|
||
4.0 APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
|
||
Important: Re-circulate Vibrance Maxx RTA thoroughly before using.
|
||
|
||
Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment
|
||
being used.
|
||
|
||
Apply Vibrance Maxx RTA as a water-based slurry through standard liquid-type seed
|
||
treatment equipment that provides uniform seed coverage. Seed treaters with atomizers
|
||
or spinning discs are highly recommended for better product coverage on the seed.
|
||
Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control.
|
||
Thoroughly mix the specified amount of Vibrance Maxx RTA 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.
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the
|
||
maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta representative for directions before
|
||
applying Vibrance Maxx RTA 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 5.0 fl oz/100 lb of seed for all crops except chickpea. For
|
||
chickpea, a total slurry volume of 8 fl oz/100 lb of seed is recommended. More diluent
|
||
may be required to obtain optimal coverage.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA
|
||
Page 10
|
||
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA contains an EPA-approved colorant that imparts an unnatural color
|
||
to the seed as required by the Federal Seed Act.
|
||
|
||
Allow seed to dry before bagging.
|
||
|
||
Follow planter manufacturer’s specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives
|
||
at planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.
|
||
|
||
|
||
4.1 Tank Mixtures
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA mixes easily with water and other water-based seed treatments
|
||
manufactured by Syngenta and many other companies. When mixing with products
|
||
from other manufacturers, test the compatibility prior to use by conducting a jar test: Mix
|
||
all intended seed treatments with a proportional amount of water to achieve the desired
|
||
slurry mixture in a clear glass container. Mix well and allow mixture to sit for one hour.
|
||
Remix and observe for incompatibility.
|
||
|
||
Mixing Vibrance Maxx RTA with tank-mix partners: Add ½ of the required water to the
|
||
mix tank and turn on the agitation. Mechanical agitation is preferred. If using wettable
|
||
powders, add them first to clean water allowing them to completely disperse prior to
|
||
adding Vibrance Maxx RTA or other 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.
|
||
|
||
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.

7.0 SEED CONTAINER 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 thiabendazole, sedaxane, mefenoxam and
|
||
fludioxonil 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 Vibrance Maxx RTA:
|
||
|
||
x Non-Target Organism Advisory Statement: This product may adversely impact non-
|
||
target organisms feeding on treated seeds. Protect the non-target organisms by
|
||
following label directions intended to minimize availability of treated seed to non-
|
||
target organisms.
|
||
o Cover or collect treated seeds spilled during loading and planting in areas
|
||
(such as in row ends).
|
||
o Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed away from bodies of
|
||
water.
|
||
x Ground Water Advisory: Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into groundwater
|
||
under certain conditions as a result of label use. Fludioxonil has properties and
|
||
characteristics associated with chemicals detected in groundwater. These chemicals
|
||
may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly
|
||
where the water table is shallow.
|
||
x Surface Water Advisory: This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff
|
||
of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with shallow
|
||
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA
|
||
Page 13
|
||
|
||
groundwater. This product is classified as having high potential for reaching surface
|
||
water via runoff 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 features such as ponds, streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading
|
||
of mefenoxam from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced
|
||
by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48
|
||
hours.
|
||
|
||
x Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed.
|
||
|
||
x Store treated seed away from feeds and foodstuffs.
|
||
|
||
x Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical-resistant gloves (made of barrier
|
||
laminate, butyl rubber ≥14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥14 mils,
|
||
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ≥14 mils, or Viton ≥14 mils) when handling treated seed.
|
||
|
||
x Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch.
|
||
|
||
x Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment wash
|
||
waters.
|
||
|
||
x Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements.
|
||
|
||
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 apply more than 0.041 lb ai/Acre (19 g ai/Acre) per calendar year of
|
||
sedaxane-containing products as a seed treatment on Legume Vegetables
|
||
(Succulent or Dried) Crop Group 6 (except soybeans).
|
||
|
||
x Do not apply more than 0.25 lb ai/A (115 g/A) per calendar year of mefenoxam- or
|
||
metalaxyl-containing products as a seed treatment on Legume Vegetables
|
||
(Succulent or Dried) Crop Group 6 (except soybeans).
|
||
|
||
x Do not apply more than 0.15 lb ai/Acre (68 g ai/A) per calendar year of
|
||
thiabendazole-containing products regardless of the type of application.
|
||
|
||
x This seed has been treated with 2.5 g fludioxonil/100 kg seed, 3.75 g
|
||
mefenoxam/100 kg seed, 5.0 g sedaxane/100 kg seed, and 15 g thiabendazole/100

When to add Cruiser® 5FS, EPA Reg. No. 100-941 (thiamethoxam):
|
||
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA does not contain an insecticide. For protection from insect pests,
|
||
Vibrance Maxx RTA may be mixed with Cruiser 5FS. Consult the product label for
|
||
registered use rates and follow all label use instructions.
|
||
|
||
|
||
When to add additional Apron XL®, EPA Reg. No. 100-799 (mefenoxam):
|
||
|
||
If target fields have a history of high Phytophthora pressure, add the labeled rate of
|
||
Apron XL as directed on the Apron XL label minus the equivalent amount in Vibrance
|
||
Maxx RTA. The additional Apron XL may reduce compatibility with some rhizobia
|
||
inoculants. Consult with the maker of rhizobia inoculants before adding the additional
|
||
Apron XL.
|
||
|
||
For systemic downy mildew protection in all Peas (Pisum spp.), add the labeled rate of
|
||
Apron XL minus the equivalent amount in Vibrance Maxx RTA.
|
||
|
||
When applied at 5.0 fl oz/100 lb of seed, Vibrance Maxx RTA provides the equivalent of
|
||
0.16 fl oz/100 lb of seed of Apron XL.
|
||
|
||
When to add additional Mertect® 340-F, EPA Reg. No. 100-889 (thiabendazole):
|
||
|
||
For heavy Ascochyta infections in field pea, pigeon pea and lentil add the labeled rate of
|
||
Mertect 340-F minus the equivalent amount in Vibrance Maxx RTA for best protection.
|
||
For heavy Ascochyta infections of chickpeas, add the labeled rate of Mertect 340-F as
|
||
directed on the Mertect 340-F label minus the equivalent amount in Vibrance Maxx
|
||
RTA. For best results against Ascochyta blight, plant chickpeas, peas or lentil seed
|
||
treated with Mertect 340-F fungicide as late in the spring as possible.
|
||
|
||
When applied at 5.0 fl oz/100 lb of seed, Vibrance Maxx RTA provides the equivalent of
|
||
0.5 fl oz/100 lb of seed of Mertect 340-F.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
