General Information
This package contains Acronis fungicide seed treatment, a water-based liquid fungicide seed treatment formulation (FS). Acronis is a broad-spectrum fungicide
that provides preventive seed and seedling protection against multiple seed borne fungi causing seed and seedling diseases and decay including Rhizoctonia so/ani, Fusarium spp., and Phomopsis spp., and certain opportunistic pathogens such as Penicillium spp., Aspergillus spp., and Botrytis spp. Acronis may be
applied in conjunction with applications of other registered seed treatment products. Make all applications according to the use directions in this label.

Resistance Management
Acronis contains two active ingredients: pyraciostrobin, a target site Group 11 fungicide, and thiophanate-methyl, a target site Group 1 fungicide. Because of the minimal amounts of Acronis applied to the seed that relocate to the upper parts of the plant, the potential for development of resistance is extremely low. Seed treatments of Acronis can, therefore, be followed by foliar use and resistance management guidelines of foliar use fungicides containing pyraclostrobin (Cabrio EG fungicide and Headline fungicide) and thiophanate-methyl (T-methyl fungicide and Topsin M fungicide) as specified on the respective labels.

Application Instructions
For use at commercial treatment facilities. Not for use on the farm.
Apply Acronis as a water-based mixture using standard slurry or mist-type seed treatment application equipment.
The exact amount of water needed to provide the mixture or slurry rate (ml/100 kg or ozlcwt of seed) for optimum coverage is difficult to predict since weather conditions (hot or cold), seed type, and surface and equipment used all have a bearing on coverage. Consult a seed treatment specialist regarding slurry rates recommended for the crop seed to be treated with Acronis. The required amount of
Acronis should then be diluted with the recommended amount of water that will provide uniform and complete coverage on the seed surface. Uniform application on seed and complete seed coverage are necessary for seed safety and best disease protection.
Seed should be sound and well cleaned prior to treatment.
The purchaser of Acronis.is responsible for ensuring that all seed treated with this product are adequately dyed with a suitable color to prevent its accidental use as food for man or feed for animals. Refer to 21 CFR, Part 225. Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed. Any dye or colorant added to treated seed must be cleared for use under 40CFR, Part 180.900, "Exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance".
Federal regulations have established official tolerances or exemptions from tolerances for residues on food and forage crops that should not be exceeded when the product (dye or colorant) is used at specified rates.
Consult the seed treatment specialist for calibration and operation procedures of the seed treatment equipment being used. Mechanical agitation is required for proper mixing of Acronis. Prepare no more mixture of Acronis than is needed for immediate treating. Add 3/4 of the required volume of water to the mix tank. With agitation running, add the required amount of Acronis in the tank along with other seed treatment components. Add the remaining 1/4 amount of the required volume of water. Follow the mixing sequence listed below. Agitate thoroughly before and during application.
