DIRECTIONS FOR USE
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. For use in commercial seed treatment facilities with closed transfer systems only. No open transfer. Not for use on agricultural establishments in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box, or other seed-treatment applications at or immediately before planting. Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirements specific to your State or Tribe, consult the agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low vigor 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 vigor. Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Prior to treatment, conduct germination tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment.
Due to seed quality, crop or variety sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Syngenta, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of seed or propagating material for all crop seed when treated with Helix Xtra Insecticide with Fungicides.
Maximum usage when applying metalaxyl- and mefenoxam- containing products to the same crop within the same season: Do not apply more than the maximum yearly total application rate for the active ingredient as stated on the label of the product containing the lowest yearly total on that crop.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR INSECT AND/OR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Helix Xtra Insecticide with Fungicides is a seed treatment product that contains both insecticide and fungicide components with activity against aphids, flea beetles, seedcorn maggot, white grubs, wireworm, and certain seed-borne and damping-off diseases of canola. Thiamethoxam, the insecticide component, provides activity against flea beetles and the remaining components are fungicides with activity against damping-off diseases caused by Pythium species, Fusarium species, Rhizoctonia species, and seed-borne blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans).

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, Helix Xtra Insecticide with Fungicides contains a Group 4A/thiamethoxam insecticide. Any insect population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Helix Xtra Insecticide with Fungicides and other Group 4A insecticides. The resistant individuals may dominate the insect population if this group of insecticides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Appropriate resistance-management strategies should be followed.
Thiamethoxam is a systemic insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of chemistry which includes nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) agonists.
To delay insecticide resistance, take the following steps:
x Rotate the use of Helix Xtra Insecticide with Fungicides or other Group 4A insecticides within a growing season, or among growing seasons, with different groups that control the same pests.
x Use tank mixtures with insecticides from a different group that are equally effective on the target pest when such use is permitted. Do not rely on the same mixture repeatedly for the same pest population. Consider any known crossresistance issues (for the targeted pests) between the individual components of a mixture. In addition, consider the following recommendations provided by the

Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC):
o Individual insecticides selected for use in mixtures should be highly effective and be applied at the rates at which they are individually registered for use against the target species.
o Mixtures with components having the same IRAC mode of action classification are not recommended for insect resistance management.
o When using mixtures, consider any known cross-resistance issues between the individual components for the targeted pest(s).

Mixtures become less effective if resistance is already developing to one or both active ingredients, but they may still provide pest management benefits.
o The insect resistance management benefits of an insecticide mixture are greatest if the two components have similar periods of residual insecticidal activity. Mixtures of insecticides with unequal periods of residual insecticide activity may offer an insect resistance management benefit only for the period where both insecticides are active.
x Adopt an integrated pest management program for insecticide use that includes scouting, uses historical information related to pesticide use, crop rotation, record keeping, and which considers cultural, biological and other chemical control practices.
x Monitor after application for unexpected target pest survival. If the level of survival suggests the presence of resistance, consult with your local university specialist or certified pest control advisor.
x Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide resistance-management and/or IPM recommendations for the specific site and pest problems in your area.
