Dear Mrs. Patsy Laird:
|
||
The Agency, in accordance with the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
|
||
(FIFRA), as amended, has completed reviewing all the information submitted with your
|
||

|
||
connection with the Sedaxane Interim Decision, and has concluded that your submission
|
||
is acceptable. The label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under
|
||
FIFRA, as amended, is acceptable.
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then
|
||
please be aware that the website becomes labeling under the Federal Insecticide,
|
||
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act and is subject to review by the Agency. If the website is
|
||
false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute
|
||
under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) list examples of statements EPA may
|
||
consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on
|
||
your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ from those
|
||
claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find or if it
|
||
is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or
|
||
claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be
|
||
referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.

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.

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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
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.

-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).

Seed Treatment in Commercial Facilities or Seed Treatment on Farm (when
|
||
treated seed are to be sold or distributed) – Seed Bag Labeling Requirements
|
||
|
||
The Federal Seed Act requires that bags containing treated seed shall be labeled with
|
||
the following statements:
|
||
|
||
x This seed has been treated with sedaxane, difenoconazole, and mefenoxam
|
||
fungicides and thiamethoxam insecticide.
|
||
x Do not use for food, feed, or oil purposes.
|
||
|
||
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires that bags containing treated seed
|
||
shall be labeled with the following statements. Any seed treated with CruiserMaxx
|
||
Vibrance Cereals that is sold or distributed without these statements or that is sold or
|
||
distributed for a use not permitted by the following labeling does not qualify as an
|
||
exempted treated article under 40 CFR 152.25(a) and is therefore sale or distribution of
|
||
an unregistered pesticide, pursuant to FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(A).
|
||
|
||
This seed has been treated with CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals (EPA Reg No. 100-
|
||
1726) containing difenoconazole, mefenoxam, sedaxane, and thiamethoxam. Any seed
|
||
treated with CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals that is sold or distributed for a use not
|
||
permitted by the following labeling does not qualify as an exempted treated article under
|
||
40 CFR 152.25(a) and is therefore sale or distribution of an unregistered pesticide,
|
||
pursuant to FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(A).
|
||
|
||
x The contents of this bag are for planting purposes only. DO NOT use for food,
|
||
feed, or oil purposes. DO NOT use for fuel or ethanol production purposes.
|
||
x Pollinator Precaution: Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees, and effects are
|
||
possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops.
|
||
x Groundwater Advisory: Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into
|
||
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. Thiamethoxam has
|
||
properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in
|
||
groundwater. These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas
|
||
where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
x Store treated seed away from food and feedstuffs.
|
||
x Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical resistant gloves when handling
|
||
treated seed.
|
||
x DO NOT plant treated seed by broadcasting to the soil surface. Ensure that all
|
||
planted seeds are thoroughly incorporated by the planter during planting.
|
||

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL
|
||
|
||
Do not contaminate water, food or feed by storage or disposal.
|
||
|
||
Pesticide Storage
|
||
Store in original containers only. Keep container closed when not in use. Do not store
|
||
near food or feed. In case of spill on floor or paved surfaces, mop and remove to
|
||
chemical waste storage area until proper disposal can be made if product cannot be
|
||
used according to the label.
|
||
|
||
Pesticide Disposal
|
||
Pesticide wastes are toxic. Improper disposal of excess pesticide, spray mixture, or
|
||
rinsate is a violation of federal law. If these wastes cannot be disposed of by use
|
||
according to label instructions, contact your state pesticide or environmental control
|
||
agency, or the hazardous waste representative at the nearest EPA regional office for
|
||
guidance.
|
||

|
||
Non-refillable container. Do not reuse or refill this container. Triple rinse container (or
|
||
equivalent) promptly after emptying. Triple rinse as follows: Empty the remaining
|
||
contents into application equipment or a mix tank and drain for 10 seconds after the flow
|
||
begins to drip. Fill the container ¼ full with water and recap. Shake for 10 seconds.
|
||
Pour rinsate into application equipment or a mix tank or store rinsate for later use or
|
||
disposal. Drain for 10 seconds after the flow begins to drip. Repeat this procedure two
|
||
