GENERAL INFORMATION
MAXIM XL is a seed treatment fungicide which controls seed- and soil-borne diseases of field corn, sweet corn and popcorn. MAXIM XL Seed Treatment Fungicide is active against Pythium, Rhizoctonia, Fusarium (including seedling disease due to F. graminearum), and against weakly pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus and Penicillium. When rate ranges are given, use the higher rate where conditions favour seed- or soil-borne pathogens.
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 XL Seed Treatment Fungicide 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 XL Seed Treatment Fungicide 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 XL Seed Treatment Fungicide 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.

SWEET CORN, FIELD CORN, and POPCORN:
For control of seed- and soil-borne fungi which cause seed decay, damping-off and seedling blights, apply 10.9 – 21.8 mL of MAXIM XL Seed Treatment Fungicide per 100 kg seed.
At the 10.9 mL use rate, the formulation delivers the equivalent 2.5 grams active ingredient of MAXIM 480FS Colourless Seed Treatment Fungicide and 1 gram active ingredient of APRON XL LS Seed Treatment Fungicide per 100 kg of seed (or 0.009 mg of active ingredients per kernel). The 21.8 mL rate delivers the equivalent of 5 grams of active ingredient of MAXIM 480FS Colourless Seed Treatment Fungicide and 2 grams active ingredient of APRON XL LS Seed Treatment Fungicide per 100 kg seed (or 0.018 mg of active ingredients per kernel).
