Apron Maxx RTA provides early season protection against Phytophtora root rot for tolerant varieties of soybeans. If target fields have a history of
high Phytophtora pressure, or susceptible varieties are to be treated then tank-mix 325 mL of Apron Maxx RTA with 31 mL of Apron XL LS fungicide
per 100 kg of seed.
Registered Tank Mixes
Apron Maxx RTA can be tank mixed with Cruiser 5FS to produce Cruiser Maxx Pulses (available through
commercial seed treaters only).
Application Information
Apron Maxx RTA is a ready-to-apply seed treatment for use in commercial seed treatment plants and for on-farm
treatment. Apron Maxx RTA may also be used in treat-on-the-go air seeders. The equipment must provide uniform
coverage on the seed. Allow the seed to dry before bagging, storing or seeding.
Seed Treatment and Inoculants
Apron Maxx RTA can be used with some Rhizobium-based inoculants. Contact inoculant manufacturer for proper
recommendations. Treated seed may not flow at the same rates through seeding equipment as untreated seed.
With rough coated seed, the addition of water to Apron Maxx will increase coverage; contact Syngenta for more
information.
How it Works
Apron Maxx RTA contains two active ingredients. Fludioxonil is a phenylpyrrole fungicide with contact activity.
Metalaxyl M is an acylalanine fungicide with systemic activity against certain fungal diseases.
Restrictions
Grazing
:
Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for four weeks after planting.
Re-cropping
:
Do not plant any crop other than soybeans, beans, chickpeas, lentils, lupins, faba beans and peas
within 30 days to fields in which treated seeds were planted.
Environmental Precautions
Apron Maxx RTA is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Do not apply this product directly to aquatic habitats,
estuaries or marine habitats. Do not contaminate irrigation or drinking water supplies or aquatic habitats by cleaning
of equipment or disposal of wastes. Any spilled or exposed seeds must be incorporated into the soil or cleaned up.
