Registered Tank Mixes
Cruiser Maxx D Potatoes is a co-pack of Actara 240SC and Maxim D.
Application Information
Maxim Liquid D and Actara 240 have been designed to be delivered in very low volumes of liquid to ensure good
coverage without increasing tuber decay. Store cut seeds at or below 7° C. Apply only in areas with adequate
ventilation or in areas that are equipped to remove mist or dust. Seed loading onto the belt should be uniform.
Calibrate the output to the actual flow rate. If the treated seed is to be stored for several days, ensure there is adequate
cool air movement through the pile of cut seed potatoes at a relative humidity of 85-90%. Cut and treated seed should
not be piled above 1.8 m in height. Optimal results are obtained if potatoes are planted immediately after being
treated.
How to Apply
Apply as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment equipment. Thoroughly mix the recommended
amount of Maxim Liquid D and Actara 240SC into the required amount of water for the slurry treater. Maintain
constant agitation of the slurry during treatment.
How it Works
Maxim D is active against black scurf, stem and stolon canker, silver scurf, and fludioxonil resistant Fusarium dry
rot. Actara is a systemic neonicotinoid insecticide that controls listed sucking and chewing insects through contact
and ingestion.

application. The cover crop may not be grazed or harvested for food or feed. For all other crops, a 120-day plant-back
