GENERAL INFORMATION 
DIVIDEND XL RTA Fungicide i s a ready-to-use water-based systemic seed dressing which controls or suppresses certain seed- and soil-borne diseases of cereal crops, as listed below. The formulation contains a colouring agent which will colour the treated seed. 
Note: Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigour and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease pests, 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 DIVIDEND X L RTA Fungicide to control the resistant fungus strains. If disease appears in a treated field, consult the government extension specialist immediately. 

DIRECTIONS FOR USE 
DO NOT APPLY BY AIR 
DIVIDEND XL RTA Fungicide is a ready-to-use water-based formulation for use in commercial seed treatment plants, and for on-farm treatment using standard gravity flow or mist type seed treatment equipment which accurately meters and mixes a flowable seed treatment. DIVIDEND XL RTA Fungicide may also be used in a treat-on-the-go air seeder. The equipment must provide uniform coverage of DIVIDEND XL RTA Fungicide on the seed. Uneven seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. 
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. 
USE RATES FOR CEREALS: Use the lower rate under normal field conditions. Use the higher rate if: (a) there is a history of high disease pressures in the field, (b) where field conditions favour seed-borne and soil-borne pathogens, or (c) when controlling seed-borne Septoria or early season Septoria leaf blotch.
