DIRECTIONS FOR USE
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS

Coveralls
• Socks plus shoes
Maximum usage when applying metalaxyl- and mefenoxam- containing products 
to the same crop within the same season: Do not apply more than the maximum 
yearly total application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product 
containing the lowest yearly total on that crop.
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.
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its 
labeling.
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.
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas during the restricted-entry 
interval (REI) of 48 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.
For early entry to treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard 
and that involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or 
water, wear:

GENERAL INFORMATION
MIXING PROCEDURES
Tank Mixtures
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS 
LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR 
ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
Dividend XL RTA is a systemic seed dressing that controls or suppresses certain seed- 
borne. soil-borne, and early season foliar diseases of wheat and barley. It is a mixture 
of Dividend and Apron XL®. Apron XL provides Pythium damping-off activity and 
Dividend provides activity on the remaining diseases claimed on this label. An EPA- 
approved coloring agent, Pigment Red 48 has been added to the formulation.
Follow the label directions for the most restrictive of label precautions and limitations. 
This product cannot be mixed with any product containing a label prohibition against 
such mixing.
Dividend XL RTA is especially formulated for on-farm treatment, using standard 
mechanical slurry- or mist-type seed treatment equipment which accurately meters and 
mixes a flowable seed treatment. The equipment must provide uniform coverage of 
Dividend XL RTA on the seed. Uneven seed coverage may not give the desired level of 
disease control. This product does not require the addition of water for application. 
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.
Note: Mefenoxam is a systemic fungicide having a specific mode of action. Apron XL 
LS could be subject to development of insensitive strains of fungi. Development of 
insensitivity cannot be predicted. Therefore. Syngenta cannot assume liability for crop 
damage resulting from insensitive strains of fungi. Consult with your State Agricultural 
Experiment Station or Extension Service Specialist for guidance and ways to control any 
possible mefenoxam insensitive strains of fungi which may occur.
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of: barrier laminate, butyl rubber >14 mils, nitrile 
rubber >14 mils, neoprene rubber >14 mils, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) >14 mils, or 
Viton® >14 mils
Confirm physical compatibility, seed safety, seed safety in stored seed, and biological 
efficacy before tank mixing with other seed treatment products.

RESTRICTIONS
Do not use for feed, food, or oil purposes. Store away from feeds and foodstuffs.
Green wheat forage may not be grazed until 55 days after planting.
Green barley forage may not be grazed until 30 days after planting.
SEED BAG LABEL REQUIREMENT
Resistance Management
GROUP
Do not plant any crop other than those on this label within 30 days to fields in which 
treated seeds were planted.
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.
Federal law requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with the 
following information: “This seed has been treated with the fungicides difenoconazole 
(CAS No. 119446-68-3) and mefenoxam (CAS Nos. 70630-17-0 and 69516-34-3). Do 
not use for feed, food, or oil purposes. Store away from feeds and foodstuffs. Green 
wheat forage may not be grazed until 55 days after planting. Green barley forage may 
not be grazed until 30 days after planting. Do not plant any crop other than those on 
this label within 30 days to fields in which treated seeds were planted.”
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
• Rotate the use of Dividend XL RTA or other Group 3 or Group 4 fungicides within a 
growing season sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens.
• Use tank mixtures with fungicide 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.
DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP
MEFENOXAM
For resistance management, please note that Dividend XL RTA contains Group 
3/difenoconazole and Group 4/mefenoxam fungicides. Any fungal populations may 
contain individuals naturally resistant to Dividend XL RTA and other Group 3, and 
Group 4 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.

• 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 populations for resistance development.
• Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional 
pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crop 
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.
