IMPORTANT: This information is approved as part of the Product Label. All instructions within
this section must be carefully read in order to obtain safe and successful use of this product.

For advice on resistance management refer to the latest Fungicide Resistance Action Group (FRAG) guidelines.

PESTS CONTROLLED
Forage Maize
MAXIM XL is a fungicidal seed treatment for the control of damping-off diseases (Fusarium
sp. and Pythium sp.)

CROP SPECIFIC INFORMATION
Crops
For use on all varieties of forage maize.

Timing
At drilling.

Rate of use
Maize: Apply 1 litre MAXIM XL per tonne of seed.

Application
Agitate container thoroughly before use (for 20 litre containers roll containers on a level floor).

For 200 litre containers: Prior to use the drum should be agitated by rolling the drum on its base to ensure uniform distribution of the product in the tank prior to application. This should be done using suitable mechanical means.

MAXIM XL is a ready-to-use water-based seed treatment formulation. To improve distribution on individual kernels, dilution with water is recommended. Dilution should be 1 part MAXIM XL : 7 parts water (e.g. 100 mls MAXIM XL + 700 mls water). Agitation of dilution should be maintained throughout the application process.

Calibrate the application equipment before use. For further advice please contact Syngenta Crop Protection UK Ltd.

Seed Quality
Do not use MAXIM XL on sprouted, cracked or damaged seed. Use only good quality seed tested for viability using a suitable germination test before treatment.

Storage of treated seed
Seed should be stored in a cool, dry, ventilated building.

Treated seed may be stored and used in the season following application of MAXIM XL providing the advice above regarding storage conditions is adhered to.

Seedbed Preparation and Drilling
Drilling equipment should be calibrated with seed treated with MAXIM XL before use. Check drill calibration before drilling for each batch of seed to ensure an accurate drilling rate.

MAXIM XL is not known to have any adverse effect on seed germination or crop emergence but poor seed quality or seedbed conditions (waterlogged, capped, dry, fluffy or cloddy seedbeds) may result in delayed emergence and/or poor establishment.

Seed Spillages
In case of seed spillage, clean up as much as possible into the related seed sack and re-use the clean seed. Bury the remainder completely.

After Use
Dispose of product concentrate, empty containers and contaminated seed bags according to the “Code of Practice for the Safe Use Of Pesticides on Farms and Holdings” available from HMSO. Do not re-use containers for any purpose.

Safe Handling of Product and Treated Seed
Avoid skin contact with product, treated seed and dust, throughout all operations in the treatment plant. Launder coveralls daily.
