the desired level of disease control. Thoroughly mix the recommended amount of Apron Advance seed treatment into
the required amount of water for the slurry treater and dilution rate to be used. Slurry volumes will vary depending
on seed size.
Seed Treatment and Inoculants
:
Apron Advance can be used with most Rhizobium-based inoculants. Contact
inoculant manufacturer for proper recommendations. Treated seed may not flow at the same rates through seeding
equipment as untreated seed. Mixing with inoculants may increase drying time. With rough-coated seed, the addition
of water to Apron Advance will increase coverage; contact Syngenta for more information.
How it Works
Fludioxonil is a phenylpyrrole fungicide with contact activity. Metalaxyl M is an acylalanine fungicide with systemic
activity against certain fungal diseases. Thiabendazole is a systemic benzimidazole fungicide with activity against
certain fungal diseases.
