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.
