3. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated area for 45 days after planting soybeans. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated area for 60 days after planting members of Crop Subgroup 6C (Dried shelled peas and beans, chickpeas, lentils and fava beans).
NOTE:
Seed treated with VIBRANCE MAXX RFC must be labeled with the following statements: “This seed has been treated with the fungicides metalaxyl-M and S-isomer, fludioxonil and sedaxane. When handling and planting treated seed, workers must wear cotton coveralls or long sleeved shirt and long pants, chemical-resistant gloves, and work boots. For good hygiene practice, it is also recommended to wear a NIOSH-approved N95 filtering facepiece respirator (dust mask) that is properly fit tested during all job activities. Do not use for food, feed or oil processing. Store away from food and feed.”

GENERAL INFORMATION
VIBRANCE MAXX RFC is a seed treatment product containing the fungicides, fludioxonil, metalaxyl-M and S-isomer and sedaxane. This product controls a broad spectrum of seed- and soil-borne diseases in soybeans and member of Crop Subgroup 6C (Dried shelled peas and beans, chickpeas, lentils and fava beans).
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, reduced emergence 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 treated seed.
Note: Experience has shown that strains of fungus resistant to metalaxyl-M may develop. Failure to control the disease will likely result in crop damage and/or yield losses. Since the occurrence of resistance cannot be foreseen, Syngenta Canada Inc. accepts no responsibility for any loss of, or damage to, crops resulting from the failure of VIBRANCE MAXX RFC to control the resistant fungus strains. If disease appears in a treated field, consult the government extension specialist immediately.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
VIBRANCE MAXX RFC is a seed treatment formulation for use in commercial seed treatment (in facilities or with mobile treaters) and for on-farm treatment using seed treatment equipment that accurately meters, mixes and applies a flowable seed treatment. The equipment must provide uniform coverage of VIBRANCE MAXX RFC on the seed. Uneven seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Allow the seed to dry before bagging, storing or seeding.
Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of VIBRANCE MAXX RFC Seed Treatment with the required amount of water for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. Slurry volumes will vary depending on seed size. Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry during the treatment. 

Seed Treatment and Inoculants:
VIBRANCE MAXX RFC is compatible with Rhizobium based inoculants. Please check with inoculant manufacturers for specific planting windows and methods of application prior to use. 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 of bulk material is above freezing and below 30 C.
Seed treated with VIBRANCE MAXX RFC, or a combination of VIBRANCE MAXX RFC and seed inoculants, may not flow through a seed drill at the same rate as untreated seed. Recalibrate the seed drill before planting treated seed. Mixing with inoculants may increase drying time while treating, extending the processing time.
This product contains a pigment that will colour the treated seed; however, users are responsible for ensuring that the treated seed, when dried and ready for bagging, storage or seeding 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.

USE RATES
For control of various seed-borne and soil-borne diseases on soybeans, beans, lentils, lupins, faba beans, and peas, apply 100 mL of VIBRANCE MAXX RFC Fungicide plus 225 mL of water (or Rhizobia inoculant at rates recommended by the manufacturer to achieve proper total slurry volumes) per 100 kg of seed. For chickpeas a total slurry volume of 650 mL per 100 kg of seed is recommended for optimal coverage. 

Tank Mixes
For protection from various insect pests, VIBRANCE MAXX RFC may be mixed with CRUISER 5FS Seed Treatment Insecticide. 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.
