FAILURE TO FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AND PRECAUTIONS ON THIS LABEL MAY RESULT IN CROP INJURY, POOR DISEASE CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES.
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 using equipment similar to that planned for treating the total seed lot. Conduct -germination-tests on a small portion of seed before committing the total seed lot to aselected seed treatment. Due to seed quality and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Syngenta, no claims are made to guarantee the germination of carry-over treated seed.

USE RESTRICTIONS

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Cruiser Vibrance Quattro is a seed treatment product containing one insecticide active ingredient (thiamethoxam) and four fungicide active ingredients (difenoconazole, mefenoxam, fludioxonil and sedaxane). Cruiser Vibrance Quattro seed treatment protects against damage from certain early-season insects and certain seed- and soilborne diseases of cereal crops. Difenoconazole provides protection against several seed, seedling and certain foliar disease including bunts and smuts. Mefenoxam protects against damping-off caused by Pythium. Fludioxonil provides protection against certain soil-borne and seed-borne diseases and is active against Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, and weakly pathogenic fungi such as Aspergillus and Penicillium. Sedaxane protects against Rhizoctonia and loose smuts (Ustilago). Thiamethoxam is a systemic seed treatment insecticide belonging to the neoticotinoid class of chemistry. Thiamethoxam in Cruiser Vibrance Quattro protects against aphids, wireworm and European chafer. Cruiser Vibrance Quattro may be applied in tank mixes, or sequentially with other EPAregistered seed treatment pesticide products. If using Cruiser Vibrance Quattro in a tank mixture with other seed treatment products, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, -use rates-dilution ratios, precautionsT and limitations which appear on the tank-mix partner label(s). Do not exceed any label dosage and follow the most restrictive label precautions and limitations. This product must not be mixed with any product which prohibits such mixing.
