Raxil MD is a ready to use formulation designed for commercial or on-farm treatment with conventional seed treating
equipment which can accurately control application rates and provide good distribution of the chemical onto the seed
in the mixing chamber. Uniform application to seed is necessary to ensure seed safety and best disease control. See
manufacturer’s instructions supplied with the treater system for information on proper application technique.
Uniform coverage at the correct rate is important for satisfactory results. Under-treatment may lead to loss of efficacy and
over-treatment could reduce germination. Seed may be planted immediately after treating.
How it Works:
The active ingredient tebuconazole is a systemic triazole fungicide with broad-spectrum activity. The active ingredient
metalaxyl is an acylaline fungicide with systemic activity. For more information refer to “Fungicide Modes of Action” on page
435.
Tank Mixes:
None listed.
Restrictions:
Resistance management: Refer to page 434.
• Labelling: Treated seed must be labelled “This seed has been treated with Raxil MD which contains tebuconazole and
matalaxyl; DO NOT use for food, feed or oil processing.”
• Grazing: DO NOT graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 4 weeks after planting.
• Re-cropping: No restrictions listed.
• Storage: Store product in original container only, away from other pesticides, fertilizer, food or feed. Store in a cool,
dry place and avoid excessive heat.
• Environment: DO NOT contaminate water, food, or feed by storage, disposal, or by cleaning of equipment.
