Commercial seed treatment:
When treating seed, or cleaning, maintaining or repairing seed treatment equipment, wear chemical-resistant coveralls over a long sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical resistant gloves. When bagging, sewing or stacking bags of treated seed or moving bags with a forklift, wear coveralls over a long sleeved shirt, long pants and gloves. For good hygiene practice, it is recommended to wear a suitable dust mask during all job activities.
When applied as a tank-mix combination, read and observe all label directions, including rates, restrictions, and grazing limitations for each product used in the tank- mix. Follow the more stringent label precautionary measures for mixing, loading and applying stated on both product labels.
All bags containing treated seed for sale or use in Canada must be labeled or tagged as follows: "This seed has been treated with fludioxonil, metalaxyl-M and S-isomer, azoxystrobin and thiabendazole fungicides. Wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical resistant gloves when handling treated seeds. Keep out of reach of children and domestic animals. Do not use for food, feed or oil purposes.

GENERAL INFORMATION
MAXIM QUATTRO Seed Treatment is a seed treatment fungicide which controls seed- and soil-borne diseases of field corn, sweet corn and popcorn. MAXIM QUATTRO Seed Treatment is active against Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium (including seedling disease due to F. graminearum and F. verticillioides), and against weakly pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus and Penicillium.
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 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 field corn, sweet corn and popcorn seed.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Apply MAXIM QUATTRO Seed Treatment as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of MAXIM QUATTRO Seed Treatment into the required amount of water for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry during the treatment. Allow the seed to dry before bagging. Seed treated with MAXIM QUATTRO Seed Treatment may not flow through a seed drill at the same rate as untreated seed. Recalibrate the seed drill before planting treated seed.
This product contains no colourant. An appropriate colourant must be added when this product is applied to seed. Regulations pertaining to the "Seeds Act" must be strictly adhered to when using this product. A red colourant must be added when this product is applied to grain.
MAXIM QUATTRO Seed Treatment may be tank mixed with CRUISER 5FS Seed Treatment Insecticide or CRUISER 350FS Seed Treatment Insecticide for control of the labeled insects. Observe all precautions, limitations, rates, and directions for use on the respective labels before applying.
