Subject: Approval of Label Amendment; Only Indicated Changes Reviewed –
|
||
Adding the storage and disposal statements for plastic container
|
||
Product Name: Raxil PRO Shield
|
||
EPA Registration Number: 264-1186
|
||
Application Date: 05/20/2026
|
||
Case Number: 699509
|
||
Dear Ruth Mbabazi:
|
||
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
|
||
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable.
|
||
However, EPA reviewed only the label changes highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated on
|
||
the submitted label. Any other changes to the previously approved label that were not clearly
|
||
highlighted, marked, or otherwise indicated in your submission were not reviewed and may
|
||
form the basis of regulatory and/or enforcement action if later discovered by the Agency.
|
||
Further, submission of a label amendment application with unidentified changes may be
|
||
considered a knowing submission of false information to the Agency. This approval does not
|
||
affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You continue to be
|
||
subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected with them.
|
||
The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions
|
||
Reviewed” and is enclosed for your records.
|
||
This labeling supersedes all previously accepted labeling. You must submit one copy of the final
|
||
printed labeling before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In
|
||
accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the
|
||
previously approved labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 18 months, you
|
||
may only distribute or sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently
|
||
approved labeling. “To distribute or sell” is defined under FIFRA section 2(gg) and its
|
||
implementing regulation at 40 C.F.R. § 152.3.

Case Number 699509
|
||
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 FIFRA and is subject to review by the
|
||
Agency. If the website contains any false or misleading statement, design, or graphic, the
|
||
product may be misbranded and unlawful to sell or distribute under FIFRA Sections 2(q)(1)(A)
|
||
and 12(a)(1)(E). 40 C.F.R. § 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of statements EPA may consider false or
|
||
misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website is referenced on the product label,
|
||
claims made as part of the product’s sale or distribution may not substantially differ from those
|
||
claims approved through the registration process under FIFRA Section 12(a)(1)(B). 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
|
||
product will be referred to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.
|
||
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
|
||
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance
|
||
with FIFRA section 6.
|
||
If you have any questions, please contact Andrew Watkins at 919-541-7940 or at

|
||
USER SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
Users should remove clothing/PPE immediately if pesticide gets inside. Then wash thoroughly and put on clean clothing.
|
||
Users should remove PPE immediately after handling this product. Wash the outside of gloves before removing. As soon as
|
||
possible, wash thoroughly and change into clean clothing.
|
||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
This pesticide is highly toxic to bees, birds and aquatic invertebrates, and toxic to mammals, fish and aquatic plants. DO NOT apply
|
||
directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Runoff may be
|
||
hazardous to aquatic organisms in neighboring areas. DO NOT contaminate water when disposing of equipment wash water or rinsate.
|
||
Cover or incorporate spilled treated seed.
|
||
Ensure that planting equipment is functioning properly in accordance with manufacturing specifications to minimize seed coat abrasion
|
||
during planting to reduce dust which can drift to blooming crops or weeds.
|
||
Ground Water Advisory
|
||
Prothioconazole-desthio (a degradate of prothioconazole), Metalaxyl, and Tebuconazole are known to leach through soil into ground
|
||
water under certain conditions as a result of label use.
|
||
These chemicals may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water table is shallow.
|
||
Surface Water Advisory
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rainwater. This is especially true for poorly draining soils and soils with
|
||
shallow ground water. This product is classified as having 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 prothioconazole and degradates from runoff
|
||
water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is expected to occur within
|
||
48 hours.

|
||
USE RESTRICTIONS
|
||
For use in commercial seed treatment facilities and on-farm application.
|
||
Applications must be made using standard slurry or mist-type seed treatment equipment.
|
||
Only use seed that is sound and well cured prior to treatment.
|
||
In California – Registered only for use in commercial seed treating establishments. Not allowed for “on-farm” use.
|
||
Important: The purchaser of this product is responsible for ensuring that all seed treated with this product are adequately dyed
|
||
with a suitable color to prevent its accidental use as food for man or feed for animals. Refer to 21CFR, Part 2.25. Any dye or
|
||
colorant added to treated seed must be cleared for use under 40CFR, Part 180.1001. Federal regulations have established
|
||
official tolerances for certain pesticide residues. In order that residues on food and forage crops will not exceed established
|
||
tolerances, use only at specified rates.
|
||
Maximum usage when applying both metalaxyl- and mefenoxam-containing products to the same crop within the same season:
|
||
DO NOT apply more than the maximum yearly total application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the
|
||
product containing the lowest yearly total on that crop.
|
||
PRODUCT COMPATIBILITY AND MIXING
|
||
COMPATIBILITY
|
||
It is essential that before using Raxil PRO Shield Insecticide and Fungicide in any tank mixture the compatibility of the mixture be
|
||
established. Add Raxil PRO Shield Insecticide and Fungicide at the labeled rate to a clean quart jar containing approximately one-half
|
||
the amount of water intended for a final slurry application rate. Next, follow with all other tank mix components that will be used in the
|
||
total slurry application. Add last the remaining balance of water. The total amount of volume is determined by the seed size and how
|
||
much is necessary to ensure complete and uniform coverage and distribution on the seed, as well as the type of commercial seed
|
||
treating application equipment that will be used.
|
||
|
||
6
|
||
DO NOT USE MIXTURES THAT CURDLE, PRECIPITATE, OR GEL. USE TANK MIXTURES IMMEDIATELY AFTER MIXING WITH
|
||
ADEQUATE AGITATION.
|
||
It is the pesticide user's responsibility to ensure that all products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must
|
||
follow the most restrictive directions and precautionary language of the products of the mixture (for example, first aid from one
|
||
product, ppe from another).
|
||
PRODUCT MIXING
|
||
Recirculate or mix the product for at least 5 minutes prior to each use. For large containers, 15 gallons containers or more, mix the
|
||
product with the built-in mixer for 5 -10 minutes before each use. For Seed Treatment slurries, maintain adequate agitation until
|
||
treatment slurry is applied.
|
||
RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATION
|
||
For resistance management, please note that Raxil PRO Shield Insecticide and Fungicide contains a Group 4 [Metalaxyl] and a Group 3
|
||
[Prothioconazole and Tebuconazole] fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Raxil PRO Shield
|
||
Insecticide and Fungicide and other Group 4 or 3 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these
|
||
fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Raxil PRO Shield Insecticide and Fungicide also contains a Group 4A [Imidacloprid]
|
||
insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Raxil PRO Shield Insecticide and Fungicide and other
|
||
Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in
|
||
the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
|
||
To delay fungicide and insecticide resistance, take one or more of the following steps:
|
||
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.
|
||
Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide 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.
|
||
Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
|
||
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.
|
||
Rotate the use of Raxil Pro Shield or other Group 3 and Group 4 fungicides and Group 4A insecticides within a growing season
|
||
sequence with different groups that control the same pathogens or pests.
|
||
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.
|
||
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.
|
||
o 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.
|
||
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisor for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM
|
||
recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
|
||
For further information or to report suspected resistance contact Bayer CropScience at 1-866-99BAYER (1-866-992-2937). You
|
||
can also contact your pesticide distributor or university extension specialist to report resistance.
