For use by a commercial seed treater only. Mix with water to form a slurry seed treatment. Contains no colourant; an
appropriate colourant must be added to slurry before treating seed. Maintain constant agitation of slurry. Allow seed to
dry before bagging. Treatment of highly mechanically dam aged, poor quality or low vigour seed may result in reduced
germination and / or reduced seed and seedling vigour. If seed lot quality is unknown conduct a germination test prior to
treating.
How it Works:
The active ingredient thiabendazole is a benzimidazole fungicide with contact and systemic activity. The active ingredient
fludioxonil is a phenylpyrrole fungicide with contact activity. The active ingredient metalaxyl-M is an acylalanine
fungicide with systemic activity against diseases caused by the Oomycetes class, including Pythium damping off. The
active ingredient azoxystrobin is a methoxyacrylate (strobilurin) fungicide with broad spectrum activity to be used as a
preventative and curative fungicide. For more information refer to “Fungicide Modes of Action” on page 435.
Tank Mixes:
Maxim Quattro may be tank-mixed with Cruiser 5FS.
Follow the label directions for each product and use the most restrictive precautions and limitations for either product.
Restrictions:
Resistance management: Refer to page 434.
• Labelling: Treated seed must be labelled “This seed has been treated with thiabendazole, fludioxonil, metalaxy-M and
S-isomer, and azoxystrobin. Use chemical resistant-gloves when handling treated seed. DO NOT use for food, feed or
oil processing. Store away from feed and foodstuffs. DO NOT graze corn or cut for forage within 30 days of planting.”
• Grazing: DO NOT graze or feed livestock on treated areas within 30 days of planting.
• Re-cropping: No restrictions listed.
• Storage: Store product between 0°C and 30°C. Repeated freeze-thawing of the product will not compromise its
integrity. If the product should freeze, bring the product back to room temperature and ensure thorough mixing
before use. Store away from food and feed. DO NOT carry over treated sweet corn to the following year.
• Environment: DO NOT apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present. In cleaning of equipment or
disposing of wastes, DO NOT contaminate water used for human or animal consumption or by wildlife and aquatic life
or for irrigation purposes. If treated seed is spilled outdoors, promptly clean up.
