For the treatment of Potato seed tubers for the control of Rhizoctonia (Stem Canker and Black Scurf) and Silver Scurf.

GENERAL INFORMATION
MAXIM is a seed treatment for direct application to potato seed tubers for the control of Rhizoctonia solani (Black Scurf and Stem Canker) and Silver Scurf. The control of Silver Scurf may not be adequate if the resultant crop is left for any length of time either in the ground following haulm death, or in cool storage.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

It is an offence for users of this product to cause residues exceeding the relevant MRL in the New Zealand (Maximum Residue Limits of Agricultural Compounds) Food Standard

POTATOES
Disease: Rhizoctonia (Stem Canker, Black Scurf), Silver Scurf
Rate: 250 mL in a maximum of 2.75 litres of water/tonne of seed tuber potatoes
Critical Comments: Ensure that an even distribution of MAXIM over the seed is achieved.
Note: Use only sufficient water to give complete coverage, as higher volumes may give rise to bacterial soft rots during storage before planting. Once potato seeds have been treated avoid prolonged delay in planting the treated seed. Apply as a spray to seed tubers before planting, ensuring complete coverage of the tubers as they rotate across the roller tables. Ensure that the tubers are free of soil and that the spray mixture is uniformly mixed during application.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
MAXIM 100 FS Fungicide Seed Treatment is a member of the phenylpyrrole group of fungicides. For fungicide resistance management MAXIM 100 FS is a Group 12 fungicide. Some naturally occurring individual fungi resistant to MAXIM 100 FS and other Group 12 fungicides may exist through normal genetic variability in any fungal population. The resistant individuals can eventually dominate the fungi population if these fungicides are used repeatedly. These resistant fungi will not be controlled by MAXIM 100 FS and other Group 12 fungicides, thus resulting in a reduction in efficacy and possible yield loss. Since the occurrence of resistant fungi is difficult to detect prior to use, Syngenta Crop Protection Pty Limited accepts no liability for any losses that may result from the failure of MAXIM 100 FS to control resistant fungi.

STORAGE
Store in a cool, dry place, avoiding temperatures below minus 10°C and above 35°C.
