Precautionary Statements
Hazards to Humans and Domestic Animals
CAUTION. Harmful if swallowed.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Applicators and other handlers must wear:
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of any waterproof
material such as barrier laminate, butyl rubber ≥ 14 mils,
nitrile rubber ≥ 14 mils, neoprene rubber ≥ 14 mils,
natural rubber* ≥ 14 mils, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride
(PVC) ≥ 14 mils, or viton ≥ 14 mils
• Shoes plus socks
* Includes natural rubber blends and laminates
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning and
maintaining PPE. If no such instructions for washables
exist, use detergent and hot water. Keep and wash PPE
separately from other laundry.
Engineering Controls Statement
When handlers use closed systems, enclosed cabs, or air-
craft in a manner that meets the requirements listed in the
Worker Protection Standard (WPS) for agricultural pesticides
[40 CFR 170.240(d)(4-6)], the handler PPE requirements
may be reduced or modified as specified in the WPS.
Environmental Hazards
This pesticide is toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates. Runoff
may be hazardous to aquatic organisms in water adjacent to
treated areas. Treated seed exposed on the soil surface may
be hazardous to birds and other wildlife. Cover or incorporate
all treated seed. For terrestrial uses, DO NOT contaminate
water when disposing of equipment washwaters, rinsate, or
treated seed.
DO NOT discharge effluent containing this product into
lakes, streams, ponds, estuaries, oceans, or other waters
unless in accordance with the requirements of a National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
and the permitting authority has been notified in writing
prior to discharge. DO NOT discharge effluent containing
this product to sewer systems without previously notifying
the local sewage treatment plant authority. For guidance,
contact your State Water Board or the regional office of the
EPA.
Groundwater Advisory
This chemical has properties and characteristics associated
with chemicals detected in groundwater. This chemical may
leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are per-
meable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
Surface Water Advisory
This product may impact surface water quality due to
runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly drain-
ing soils and soils with shallow ground water.
This product is classified as having a 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 fluxapyroxad
from runoff water and sediment. Runoff of this product will
be reduced by avoiding the planting of treated seed when
rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within 48 hours.
Directions For Use
It is a violation of federal law to use this product in a
 manner inconsistent with its labeling. DO NOT apply this
product in a way that will contact workers or other per-
sons, 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.

Product Information
Xemium® 2.78 fungicide ST is a broad-spectrum fungi-
cide that provides preventive seed and seedling protection
from several seed and soilborne diseases. Make all appli-
cations according to the use directions in this label. Use
the higher rates of Xemium 2.78 when disease pressure is
expected to be high.
Xemium 2.78 is a suspension concentrate (SC) formula-
tion and contains a red dye. This dye will impart an
 unnatural color to the seed for the purpose of preventing
accidental use as food for man or feed for animals.
Resistance Management
Fluxapyroxad, the active ingredient of Xemium 2.78, belongs
to the group of respiration inhibitors classified by the U.S.
EPA and Canada PMRA as a target site of action Group 7
fungicide. Due to the minimal amounts of Xemium 2.78
applied to the seed, the potential for development of resist-
ance is low. Seed treatments of Xemium 2.78, therefore, can
be followed by foliar use, and resistance management guide-
lines of foliar use fungicides containing fluxapyroxad as
specified on the respective labels should be followed.
Application Instructions
For use in commercial seed treatment facilities and
on-farm systems.
Apply Xemium 2.78 as a water-based mixture using
 standard slurry or mist-type seed treatment application
equipment. The exact amount of water needed to provide
the mixture or slurry rate (ml/100 kg or oz/cwt of seed) for
optimum coverage is difficult to predict because weather
conditions (hot or cold), seed type and surface, and
 equipment used all have a bearing on coverage. Consult a
seed treatment specialist regarding slurry rates recom-
mended for the crop seed to be treated with Xemium 2.78.
The required amount of Xemium 2.78 must then be diluted
with the specified amount of water that will provide uniform
and complete coverage on the seed surface. Uniform appli-
cation on seed and complete seed coverage are necessary
for seed safety and best disease protection. Seed must be
of a good quality and well cleaned prior to treatment.
Consult the seed treatment specialist for calibration and
operation procedures of the seed treatment equipment
being used. Mechanical agitation is required for proper mix-
ing of Xemium 2.78. Prepare no more mixture of
Xemium 2.78 than is needed for immediate treating. Add
3/4 of the required volume of water to the mix tank. With
agitation running, add the required amount of Xemium
2.78 in the tank along with other seed treatment compo-
nents. Add the remaining 1/4 amount of the required
volume of water. Use the mixing sequence that follows.
Agitate thoroughly before and during application.
Xemium 2.78 With Tank Mix Partners
Xemium 2.78mixes easily with water and other water-based
seed treatments. When using Xemium 2.78in a tank mixture
with seed treatment products, observe all directions for use,
crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limita-
tions that appear on the tank mix partner label. Label dosage
or application rate must not be exceeded, and the most
restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed.
Xemium 2.78must not be mixed with any product that pro-
hibits such mixing. All applications must be made according
to the use directions.
When mixing Xemium 2.78 with seed treatment products,
test the compatibility prior to use by conducting a jar test
as follows:
1. Mix all intended seed treatments with the appropriate
amount of water in a clear glass container.
2. Mix well and allow to sit for 1 hour.
3. Remix and observe for incompatibility.
Physical compatibility is only part of compatibility. Testing
also needs to be done with the seed to make sure the
combination of products does not have detrimental effects
on the seed.
Tank Mixing Instructions
1. Add 3/4 of the required amount of water to the mix tank
and turn on the agitation. Mechanical agitation is pre-
ferred.
2. Use the following mixing sequence: wettable powders,
soluble powders, flowable formulations, emulsifiable
concentrates, and remaining 1/4 of the required water.
The 1/4 of the required water as the last item for addition
to the premix tank can be used as rinsate for the chemi-
cal container or to adjust the total slurry to compensate
for water displacement by powdered products.
3. Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been
used.
4. Ensure that seed is dry prior to bagging.

SEED LABELING NOTE
Federal law requires that bags of treated seed be labeled
with the following information: 
“This seed has been treated with Xemium® 2.78 fun-
gicide containing fluxapyroxad. DO NOT use treated
seed for food, feed or oil purposes. Store treated
seed away from food and feedstuffs. DO NOT allow
children, pets or livestock to have access to treated
seed. Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt and pro-
tective gloves when handling treated seed. 
Treated seed exposed on soil surfaces may be haz-
ardous to wildlife. Plant treated seed into the soil to
the recommended minimum depth or greater to
minimize exposure. For cotton, the minimum depth
is 1/2 inch. For sugar beet, the minimum depth is
1 inch. For sugar beet, DO NOT apply more than
0.02 lb of active ingredient per acre. Cover or collect
treated seed spilled during loading and planting, in
particular at row ends and field corners. 
Dispose of all excess treated seed by burying seed
away from bodies of water. DO NOT contaminate
bodies of water when disposing of planting equip-
ment washwater. Dispose of seed packaging or
containers in accordance with local requirements.
Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol pro-
duction only if (1) by-products are not used for
livestock feed and (2) no measurable residues of
pesticide remain in ethanol by-products that are
used in agronomic practice.
In the event of crop failure or harvest of a crop
grown from this seed, the field may be replanted
immediately with barley, berries and small fruits,
Brassica leafy vegetables, bulb vegetables, corn (all
types), cotton, cucurbit vegetables, dried shelled
peas and beans, edible-podded legume vegetables,
fruiting vegetables, grapes, leafy vegetables, mint
(spearmint and peppermint), nongrass animal feeds
(forage, fodder, straw, and hay), oat, oilseed crops
(including flax seed, rapeseed and sunflower),
peanut, pome fruits, rice, root vegetables, rye,
sorghum and millet, soybean, stone fruits, strawber-
ries, succulent shelled peas and beans, sugar beet,
sugarcane, tree nuts, tuberous and corm vegetables
(including potato), wheat and triticale or any other
crop for which a tolerance for fluxapyroxad exists.
For all other crops, the minimum plant back interval
is 12 months from the date this seed was planted. A
cover crop without a tolerance for fluxapyroxad may
be planted for purposes of erosion control or soil
improvement; however, the crop must not be grazed
or harvested for food or feed.”
