Product Information
Xemium 703 fungicide ST is a liquid broad-spectrum fungicide that provides preventive seed and seedling protection from several seed and soilborne diseases. Make all applications according to the use directions in this label. Use the higher rates of Xemium 703 when disease pressure is expected to be high,

Resistance Management
The active ingredients in Xemium 703, fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin, belong to the groups of respiration inhibitors classified by the U.S. EPA and Canada PMRA as target site of action Group 7 and Group 11 fungicides. Due to the minimal amounts of active ingredient in Xemium 703 applied to the seed, the potential for development of resistance is low. Seed treatments of Xemium 703, therefore, can be followed by foliar use and resistance management guidelines of foliar use fungicides containing fluxapyroxad and. pyraclostrobin as specified on the respective labels.

Application Instructions 
For use at commercial treatment facilities. Not for use on farm.
Apply Xemium 703 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/1 00 kg or oz/cwt of seed) for optimum coverage depends on 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 Xemium 703. The required amount of Xemium 703 must then be diluted with the specified 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 must be of a good quality and well cleaned prior to treatment. The purchaser of Xemium 703 is responsible for ensuring that all seed treated with this product are adequately dyed
with a suitable color to prevent accidental use as food for man or feed for animals. Refer to 21CFR, Part 2.25. l5se an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unrfetural 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 must not be exceeded when the product (dye orpolorant) is used at specified rates.

Xemium 703 with Tank Mix Partners
Xemium 703 mixes easily with water and other waterbased seed treatments. When using Xemium 703 in a tank mixture with other seed treatment products, observe all directions for use, crops/sites, use rates, dilution ratios, precautions, and limitations that appear on the tank mix partner label. Label dosage or application rate must not be exceeded, and the most restrictive label precautions and limitations must be followed. Xemium 703 must not be mixed with any product that prohibits such mixing. All applications must be made according to the use directions. When mixing Xemium 703 with seed treatment products, test the compatibility prior to use by conducting a jar test as follows:
1. Mix all intended seed treatments with the appropriate amount of water in a clear glass container.
2. Mix well and allow to sit for 1 hour.
3. Remix and observe for incompatibility.
Physical compatibility is only part of compatibility. Testing also needs to be done with the seed to make sure the combination of products does not have detrimental effects on the seed.

Tank Mixing Instructions
1. Add 3/4 of the required amount of water to the mix tank and turn on the mechanical agitation.
2. Use the following mixing sequence: dye or colorant, wettable powders, soluble powders, flowable formulations, emulsifiable concentrates, and remaining 1/4 of the required water. The 1/4 of the required water as the last item for addition to the premix tank can be used as rihsate for the chemical container or to adjust the total slurry to compensate for water displacement by powdered products.
3. Maintain agitation until'the entire slurry mixture has been used.
4. Ensure that seed is dry prior to bagging.
SEED LABELING NOTE: Federal law requires that bags of treated seed shall be labeled with the following: "This seed has been treated with Xemium11' 703 fungicide ST containing fluxapyroxad and pyraclostrobin. DO NOT use for food, feed or oil purposes. Store away from food and feedstuffs." The seed label should also include the following: "Excess treated seed may be used for ethanol praduction only products are not used for livestock feed and (2) no measurable residues of pesticide remain in ethanol by-products that are used in agronomic practice.
