GENERAL INFORMATION
VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment is a combination of the fungicides difenoconazole, metalaxyl-M and S-isomer and sedaxane, which control or suppress certain seed- and soil-borne diseases of cereal crops as listed below.
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 VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment 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.
VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment may be applied through commercial or on-farm equipment. Apply VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment utilizing seed treatment equipment that provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not give the desired level of disease control. Depending on seed size, VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment may be applied as a ready-to-apply application or water may be added to form slurry for more uniform coverage. Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed treatment equipment being used. Allow the seed to dry before bagging or storing into bulk containers. Depending on planting equipment, seed treated with VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment may not flow through planting equipment at the same rate as untreated seed. Recalibrate this equipment before planting treated seed.
Ideal storage temperature is above freezing and below 30 C. Repeated freeze-thawing of VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment 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.

USE RATES
Under normal field conditions, apply 180 mL of VIBRANCE XL per 100 kg of seed to the crops listed below. At this rate, VIBRANCE XL delivers 12 g of difenoconazole, 2.5 g of sedaxane and 3 g of metalaxyl-M (and S-isomer) per 100 kg of seed. Use the higher rate of 360 mL/100 kg if (a) there is a history of high disease pressures in the field due to short rotations, (b) where levels of seed-borne infections like smuts are high and field conditions favour seed- and soil-borne pathogens, (c) for extended control of post-emergent damping-off, or (d) when controlling seed-borne Septoria or early season Septoria leaf blotch.

TANK MIXES
For protection from various insects on registered crops, VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment may be mixed with CRUISER5FS or 350FS Seed Treatment Insecticide in commercial seed treatment facilities with closed transfer including closed mixing, loading, calibrating, and closed treatment equipments only. This tank-mix option is only valid for those crops common to the registered labels of VIBRANCE XL Seed Treatment and CRUISER 5FS or 350FS Seed Treatment Insecticides. 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.
