PRODUCT INFORMATION
CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals is a seed treatment product containing the active
ingredients: thiamethoxam (insecticide) and sedaxane, difenoconazole and mefenoxam
(fungicides). CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals seed treatment protects against damage
from wireworm and European chafer early season insects and also protects against
certain seed-borne, soil-borne, and early season foliar diseases of cereal crops.
Thiamethoxam protects against certain chewing and sucking insects through contact
and ingestion.
Sedaxane enhances the protections against Ustilago spp. and Rhizoctonia spp.
Difenoconazole provides protection against several seed and seedling diseases of
cereals. Mefenoxam provides protection against damping-off caused by Pythium spp.
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
THIAMETHOXAM GROUP 4A INSECTICIDE
Insecticide Resistance Management
For resistance management, note that CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals contains a Group
4A/thiamethoxam insecticide. Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance to
Group 4A insecticides may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 4A
insecticides are used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted
species. This may result in partial or total loss of control of those species by CruiserMaxx
Vibrance Cereals or other Group 4A insecticides.
Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of
chemistry which includes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists.
To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
x Rotate the use of CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals or other Group 4A insecticides
within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that
control the same pests.
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that are equally
effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same
mixture repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider any known cross-
resistance issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a
mixture. In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the
Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly
effective and be applied at the rates at which they are individually
registered for use against the target species.
CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals
-7-
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action
classification are not recommended for insect resistance management.
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues
between the individual components for the targeted pest(s).
o Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one
or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management
benefits.
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are
greatest if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal
activity. Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual
insecticide activity may offer an insect resistance management benefit
only for the period where both insecticides are active.
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide/acaricides use
that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop
rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other
chemical control practices.
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of
survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university
specialist or certified pest control advisor.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any
additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for
the specific site and pest problems in your area.
x For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Syngenta at 1-
866-796-4368.
Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective long term
control of the insect pests on this label.

DIFENOCONAZOLE GROUP 3 FUNGICIDE
MEFENOXAM GROUP 4 FUNGICIDE
SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE
Fungicide Resistance Management
For resistance management, please note that CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals contains
Group 3/difenoconazole, Group 4/mefenoxam and Group 7/sedaxane fungicides. Any
fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to CruiserMaxx Vibrance
Cereals and other Group 3, Group 4 and Group 7 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.
CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals
-8-
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. Sedaxane is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) and
belongs to the carboxamide class of chemistry which disrupts cellular respiration and
energy generation.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of Vibrance Quattro or other Group 3, 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 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.
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.
x 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.
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.

used.
CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals
-9-
Apply CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry
seed treatment equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or
incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of insect or disease control.
Thoroughly mix the specified amount of CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals 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.
CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals is compatible with several liquid inoculant products.
Consult the manufacturer of the inoculant product and a Syngenta representative for
directions before applying CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals with inoculants.
The total application volume must be sufficient to provide desired level of coverage.
Dilution is typically done with water or liquid 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.
Required Dye Statement: 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 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.
