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.

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
4. Add 3/4 of the required amount of water to the mix tank and turn on the agitation. Mechanical agitation is pre- ferred.
5. 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.
6. Maintain agitation until the entire slurry mixture has been used.
7. Ensure that seed is dry prior to bagging. 4

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.” 5
