GENERAL INFORMATION
CRUISER VIBRANCE QUATTRO is a combination of the insecticide thiamethoxam and the fungicides difenoconazole, metalaxyl-M (and S-isomer), sedaxane and fludioxonil that controls or suppresses certain insect pests and seed- and soil-borne diseases of cereal crops, as listed below.
When seed is treated for post-planting protection against registered pests, CRUISER VIBRANCE QUATTRO will also provide protection during post-treatment storage of the seed against damage from many storage insect pests. Seed treated with thiamethoxam has been tested and found to be effective against rusty grain beetle, saw-toothed grain beetle, red flour beetle, rice weevil, lesser grain borer, European corn borer and Indian meal moth. It is recommended that seed with existing populations of storage pests be fumigated prior to treating and storage of that seed.
Thiamethoxam is a Group 4 Insecticide. Do not make any subsequent application of a Group 4 Insecticide (i.e., in-furrow or foliar application) following treatment with CRUISER VIBRANCE QUATTRO.
Note: Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigour and poor quality, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigour. Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct germination tests on a small portion of the seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment. Due to seed quality and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Syngenta Canada Inc., no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over seed.
Note: Experience has shown that strains of fungus resistant to metalaxyl-M (and S-isomer) may develop. Failure to control the disease will result in crop damage and/or yield losses. Since the occurrence of the resistance cannot be foreseen, Syngenta Canada Inc. accepts no responsibility for any loss of, or damage to, crops resulting from the failure of CRUISER VIBRANCE QUATTRO to control the resistant fungus strains. If disease appears in a treated field, consult the government extension specialist immediately.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
DO NOT contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning of equipment or disposal of wastes.
CRUISER VIBRANCE QUATTRO is a ready-to-use water-based formulation for use in commercial seed treatment facilities or on-farm. Treatment equipment must provide uniform coverage of CRUISER VIBRANCE QUATTRO on the seed. Thorough seed coverage will offer the best protection of the seed from insect damage and disease. Uneven seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease/insect protection.
This product does not require the addition of water for application. Consult the manufacturer of the application equipment planned to be used for suitability for this application and for instructions on operation and calibration of the equipment.
Ideal storage temperature is above freezing and below 30 C. Repeated freeze-thawing of CRUISER VIBRANCE QUATTRO will not affect the physical integrity of the product. If the product should freeze, bring the product back to room temperature and ensure the contents are mixed well prior to application.
This product contains a pigment that will adequately colour the treated seed. However, users are responsible for ensuring that the treated seed, when dried and ready for bagging, has an unnatural colour. If the pigment contained in the formulation does not colour the seed adequately, additional colourant must be added to the mixture while treating the seed. Follow instructions on the colourant package for mixing. Regulations pertaining to colouration of treated seed enforced under the “Seeds Act” must be strictly adhered to when using this product.

TANK MIXES
When wireworm activity is high, CRUISER VIBRANCE QUATTRO can be tank mixed with CRUISER 5FS Seed Treatment to achieve a total use rate of 30 g of thiamethoxam per 100 kg seed. Consult each product label for registered use rates and follow all label use instructions. Read the label directions for each product and follow the most restrictive label precautions and limitations.
