Application Information:
Vibrance XL is for use on-farm and closed commercial seed treatment facilities. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may
not give the desired level of disease control. Depending on seed size, Vibrance XL may be applied as a ready-to-apply
application or water may be added to form slurry for more uniform colverage.
These products may contain a pigment that will adequately colour treated seed. However, ensure that treated seed has an
unnatural colour after treatment, when dried and ready for bagging. Regulations pertaining to the Seeds Act must be strictly
adhered to when using this product. An appropriate colourant must be added when this product if the pigment does not
colour the seed adequately.
How it Works:
The active ingredient difenoconazole is a triazole fungicide with broad-spectrum, systemic activity. Metalaxyl-M is an
acylalanine fungicide with systemic activity against diseases caused by the Oomycetes, including Pythium dampingoff.
Sedaxane is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide with systemic activity that inhibits fungal metabolism
by binding to the succinate dehydrogenase enzyme to disrupt cellular respiration and energy generation. For more
information refer to “Fungicide Modes of Action” on page 435.
Tank Mixes:
Vibrance XL may be mixed with Cruiser 5FS in commercial seed treatment facilities with closed transfer for crops common to
the registered labels of Vibrance XL and Cruiser 5FS. Apply mixes according to the most restrictive use limitations for either
product.
Restrictions:
Resistance management: Refer to page 434.
• Labelling: Vibrance XL-treated seed must be labelled (listing only the applicable active ingredients) as follows: “This
seed has been treated with difenoconazole, metalaxyl-M (and S-isomer), and sedaxane fungides. Wear long-sleeved
shirt, long pants, and chemical-resistant gloves when handling treated seed. Do not graze or feed livestock on seeded
area for 45 days after planting. Do not use for food, feed, or oil processing. Store away from food and feed.”
• Grazing: DO NOT graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 45 days after planting.
• Re-cropping: DO NOT plant any crop other than cereals within 60 days to fields in which treated seed were planted.
• Storage: Store away from food and feed. Ideal storage temperature is above freezing and below 30°C. If product
should freeze, bring to room temperature, and then ensure the contents are mixed well prior to application.
• Environment: Toxic to aquatic organisms. DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic
habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes. Any spilled or exposed seeds must be incorporated into the
soil or otherwise cleaned-up from the soil surface.
