DIRECTIONS FOR USE It is a violation of Federal Law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling.

Maxim 4FS must be used only in accordance with directions on this label or in separately published Syngenta supplemental labeling approved by EPA for this product.

Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE, RESTRICTIONS, AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170. This Standard contains requirements for the protection of agricultural workers on farms, forests, nurseries, and greenhouses, and handlers of agricultural pesticides. It contains requirements for training, decontamination, notification, and emergency assistance. It also contains specific instructions and exceptions pertaining to the statements on this label about personal protective equipment (PPE) and restricted-entry interval. The requirements in this box only apply to uses of this product that are covered by the Worker Protection Standard (WPS).

Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry interval (REI) of 12 hours. Exception: If the seed is treated with the product and the treated seed is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been treated.

PPE required for early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, including plants, soil, or water is: • Coveralls • Chemical-resistant gloves: barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils, nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ≥ 14 mils, or Viton ≥ 14 mils • Shoes plus socks

Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigor and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease pests, 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. Then conduct germination tests with a portion of this treated 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 carry-over seed or propagating material for all crop seed when treated with Maxim 4FS.

3.0 PRODUCT INFORMATION Maxim 4FS is a seed treatment fungicide which provides protection against damage from certain soil-borne and seed-borne diseases of listed crops. Maxim 4FS is active against Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Helminthosporium, and weakly pathogenic fungi including Aspergillus and Penicillium species. Maxim 4FS provides protection from seed-borne Diaporthe- Phomopsis disease complex sometimes referred to as pod and stem blight (Phomopsis spp. & Diaporthe spp.). Maxim 4FS also provides protection against damage from pink snow mold (Microdochium nivale or Monographella nivalis). When rate ranges are given, use the higher specified rate when disease pressure is expected to be severe.

3.1 Resistance Management

For resistance management, Maxim 4FS contains a Group 12/fludioxonil fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Maxim 4FS and other 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. Follow appropriate resistance management strategies.

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 Maxim 4FS or other 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. FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE

8

• 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 applications. Note that using predictive models alone is not sufficient to manage resistance. • Monitor treated fungal/bacterial populations for resistance development. • Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM directions for specific crops and pathogens. • 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: Recirculate Maxim 4FS thoroughly before using.

Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used.

Apply Maxim 4FS 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 advised for better product coverage on the seed. The total application volume must be sufficient to provide the desired level of coverage. Dilution is typically done with water or liquid inoculants. Thoroughly mix the specified amount of Maxim 4FS into the required amount of water or liquid inoculant for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control.

Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted. Maxim 4FS is compatible with several liquid inoculant products. Consult the maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta representative for directions before applying Maxim 4FS with inoculants.

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.

• 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

9

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). • 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 Maxim 4FS mixes easily with water and other water-based seed treatments. 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 Maxim 4FS 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 Maxim 4FS 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.

Maxim 4FS does not control diseases caused by Pythium spp. or Phytophthora spp. If these diseases are expected to be a problem, apply Maxim 4FS tank-mixed with Apron XL® (mefenoxam). If Apron XL is not registered on that crop, apply Maxim 4FS as a tank-mix with another labeled seed treatment product that has activity against these diseases. Consult the label for appropriate use rate and follow all use instructions for the products.

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.
