PRODUCT INFORMATION
THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS is a seed treatment product containing the active
ingredients thiamethoxam (insecticide) and fludioxonil, thiabendazole, mefenoxam and
sedaxane (fungicides). THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS protects against damage from
listed early-season insects, soil-borne and seed-borne diseases of soybeans.
Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid
class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam protects against listed chewing and sucking insects
through contact and ingestion.
Mefenoxam fungicide is active against Pythium, Phytophthora and systemic downy
mildew.
Thiabendazole fungicide is active for protection against phomopsis spp. to improve
germination and early season seedling health. Thiabendazole also suppresses seed-
borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis species.
Fludioxonil fungicide is active against Fusarium and Rhizoctonia, and suppresses seed-
borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis species.
Sedaxane fungicide is active against seed decay, seedling blight and damping-off
caused by Rhizoctonia species.

SEDAXANE GROUP 7 FUNGICIDE
FLUDIOXONIL GROUP 12 FUNGICIDE
Fungicide Resistance Management
For resistance management, please note that THX-MXM/FDL/TBZ/SDX FS contains
THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS
Page 7
(MASTER)
Group 1/ thiabendazole, Group 4/ mefenoxam, Group 7/sedaxane and Group
12/fludioxonil fungicides. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally
resistant to THX-MXM/FDL/TBZ/SDX FS 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 a MAP/histidine protein kinase in
osmotic signal transduction.
To delay fungicide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
x Rotate the use of THX-MXM/FDL/TBZ/SDX FS 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 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.
THIAMETHOXAM GROUP
4A INSECTICIDE
Insecticide Resistance Management
For resistance management, THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS contains a Group
4A/thiamethoxam insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally
resistant to THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS and other Group 4A insecticides. The
resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are
THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS
Page 8
(MASTER)
used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies
should be followed.
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 THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS 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.
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 and fungal diseases on this label.

(MASTER)
Apply THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry or
direct inject seed treatment equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven
or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control.
Thoroughly mix the specified amount of THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS into the required
amount of water or liquid inoculant for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. For
direct product inject systems, add the required amount of water or liquid inoculant
during application.
Certain crops require addition of inoculants when the seed is treated or planted.
THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS is compatible with several liquid inoculant products.
Consult the maker of the inoculant product and a Syngenta representative for directions
before applying THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS 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 minimum adequate coverage is 4.0 fluid ounces per 100 pounds of seed
assuming an average seed size of 3,000 seeds per pound (slurry volume will vary
depending on seed size). More diluent may be required to obtain complete coverage.
Continuous agitation or mixing of the slurry mixture is necessary to prevent settling out
of the solution.
Allow seed to dry before bagging or reprocessing directly after treating operation.
Follow planter manufacturer specifications for use of talc or other hopper box additives
at planting. Seed must be completely dry before adding to planter.
SEED BAG LABEL REQUIREMENTS

x For any other crop, the minimum plant back interval is 120 days from the date the
THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS treated seed was planted. A cover crop other than
the crops listed above that is planted for erosion control or soil improvement may
be planted sooner than the 120-day interval; however, the crop may not be
grazed or harvested for food or feed.
x DO NOT apply more than 0.083 lb/A (37.8 g ai/A) thiamethoxam, 0.004 lb/A (2.0
g ai/A) fludioxonil, and 0.013 lb/A (5.7 g ai/A) mefenoxam per calendar year as a
seed treatment application.
x This seed has been treated with 0.0756 mg ai thiamethoxam, 0.0113 mg
mefenoxam, and 0.0038 mg fludioxonil per seed.
x DO NOT use more than 0.266 lb ai/A of thiamethoxam per calendar year,
including all thiamethoxam products and application methods (for example, seed
treatment, in-furrow, and foliar).
x DO NOT apply a neonicotinoid insecticide within 45 days of planting seed treated
with THX/MXM/FLD/TBZ/SDX FS.
x Non-Target Organism Advisory Statement:
This product may adversely impact non-target organisms feeding on treated
seed. Protect the non-target organisms by following label directions intended to
minimize availability of treated seed to non-target organisms.
x Groundwater Advisory: Mefenoxam is known to leach through soil into
groundwater under certain conditions as a result of agricultural use.
Thiamethoxam has properties and characteristics associated with chemicals
detected in groundwater. These chemicals may leach into the groundwater if
used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is
shallow.
x Pollinator Precautions: Thiamethoxam is highly toxic to bees, and effects are
possible as a result of exposure to translocated residues in blooming crops.
x Advisory Dust-Reducing Technique: The use of seed flow lubricants or
polymer coatings may help decrease the amount of dust released during
planting. Follow the recommendations of the planter manufacturer regarding the
use of seed flow lubricants.
