Get the best start with Foundation Acre. Foundation Acre is the revolutionary agronomic growing practice based on the scientific discovery that corn plants can change their growth pattern at the earliest stages in development. When corn plants emerge and detect the presence of weeds, they immediately go into shade avoidance resulting in smaller plants with less leaf area and a reduced root system. With Foundation Acre, a pre-emergent application of Primextra II Magnum allows corn to emerge into a weed free field and direct all its energy into root biomass and leaf development. Post-emergent applications of Callisto or Touchdown Total ensure weed competition is kept at bay as crops move toward seed production. The result is more consistent ear size and more kernels per plant up to 32 extra kernels per plant, or 9.5 bushels per acre.

3 Syngenta Soybean Portfolio SEED VE VC V1 V2 R2 R3 R5 MATURITY Matador * Boundary Venture Cruiser Maxx Beans Reflex Quilt Touchdown Total ** *Threshold for Matador application is 250 aphids per plant (refer to OMAFRA recommendations). **Touchdown Total post-emergent is for GT Soybeans only. Protect your yield all season long When it comes to getting the best out of your soybean crops, a farmer instinctively knows that the right care, at the right time, makes all the difference. That means ensuring your soybean crops have the ability to protect themselves right from the seed stage with seed-treatment options like Cruiser Maxx Beans and with preemergent herbicides like Boundary which help provide early weed protection for your crop through its most vulnerable stages of growth. In addition, broadleaf weeds and grasses can be controlled with the help of Reflex and Venture respectively. But the protection doesn t stop there. For GT soybeans, Touchdown Total* is the ideal weed control tool while the insecticide Matador ** will deal with your aphid infestation that you might have in the course of the growing season. To help round off your protection and protect your investment in your soybean crops, we bring you Quilt, which delivers unsurpassed disease protection for your soybeans.

12 Precautions: Do not use treated seed for food, feed or oil processing. Do not graze corn or cut for forage within 45 days of planting. Read product labels for personal protective equipment when treating or handling treated seed and for planting restrictions. Use Liquid for Enhanced Coverage Cruiser Maxx Potatoes seed piece treatment is a promotional combination of Actara 240SC insecticide and Maxim Liquid PSP fungicide and is the first product for potatoes that puts the power of a liquid seed treatment insecticide and fungicide into one convenient package. Key Benefits: Excellent activity against a broad spectrum of insect pests and potato diseases. Improved coverage on all sides of the potato for enhanced performance. Reduced worker exposure to dust treatments when using recommended equipment. Crops: Potatoes Insects: Colorado Potato Beetle Potato Leafhopper Green Peach Aphid Potato Aphid Buckthorn Aphid Foxglove Aphid 10

13 Diseases: Black Scurf, Stem and Stolon Canker (Rhizoctonia solani) Silver Scurf (Helminthosporium solani) Fusarium Dry Rot (Fusarium spp.) Rates: Apply no more than 11 ml of Actara 240SC per cwt (24.4 ml/100kg) of seed but check the label to ensure application rate based upon your seeding rate. Apply 2.4 ml of Maxim Liquid PSP per cwt (5.2 ml/100kg) seed. Application and Equipment Information: Cut seed is particularly vulnerable to excess moisture. Too much moisture will induce seed decay. Cruiser Maxx Potatoes has been designed to be delivered in a very low volume of liquid to ensure good coverage without increasing tuber decay. Cruiser Maxx Potatoes, delivered at a diluted volume of 120 ml/cwt (263 ml/100 kg) of seed, gives good coverage over the seed. Do not add excess water to the cut seed. Store cut seed at or below 7 C. Temperatures above 10 C promote soft rot in seed. Apply only in areas with adequate ventilation or in areas that are equipped to remove mist or dust. Seed loading onto the belt after cutting should be uniform. Do not overload. If there are several layers of seed under the hood, coverage will be erratic. Calibrate the output to the actual flow rate. If calibrated properly, there will be no liquid material dripping off of the roller table. 11

14 If the treated seed is to be stored or held for a few days, make sure that there is adequate cool air movement through the pile of cut seed potatoes at relative humidity of 85-90%. Cut and treated seed should not be piled above 1.8 m in height. Best results are obtained if potatoes are planted immediately after Cruiser Maxx Potatoes is applied to the seed. When transporting seed treated with Cruiser Maxx Potatoes, make sure the seed is covered. When treating cut seed, Cruiser Maxx Potatoes should be followed with a dust treatment to improve suberization. The use of a mancozeb dust formulation is recommended to reduce the potential for development of resistance by labeled diseases. This is particularly a concern in seed production where the risk of resistance is increased with consecutive seed generations. Avoid using excessively sprouted seed tubers for liquid seed treatment. Precautions: Refer to product label for product specific precautions and a list of personal protective equipment that must be worn when treating or handling treated seed pieces. Resistance Management Recommendations: For resistance management, note that Cruiser Maxx Potatoes contains a Group 12 fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Cruiser Maxx Potatoes and other Group 12 fungicides. A gradual or total loss of pest control may occur over time if these fungicides are used repeatedly in the same fields. Other resistance mechanisms that are not linked to site of action but specific for individual 12

15 chemicals, such as enhanced metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed. Some strains of Fusarium spp. that are insensitive to fludioxonil, the active ingredient in Cruiser Maxx Potatoes have been identified in Canada. If you are concerned about the management of Fusarium spp., it is recommended to use Maxim MZ PSP which contains a Group M3 fungicide. Do not use any subsequent application of other group 12 Fungicides or Group 4 Insecticides following treatment with Cruiser Maxx Potatoes. Give your crops the strength to protect themselves. Give your soybeans and edible beans the best possible start.

Timing: Apply at the early post-emergence 1- to 4-leaf weed stage (this is generally days after planting) when the main flush is complete. Do not apply more than once a season, or to any field two years in a row. Do not apply before the first trifoliate stage in the bean crop. Rates and Use Instructions: 0.4 L/ac. Use a minimum of 20 gal/ac of water and at a pressure of 245 kpa using flat fan nozzles. Use with the surfactant Turbocharge at 0.25% v/v of spray solution. Check adjuvant rate required when used in tank mix. Refer to label. Precautions: It is essential to achieve good coverage and ample penetration of the foliage. Apply when weeds are actively growing. Some bronzing, crinkling or spotting of soybean, dry edible bean and snap bean leaves may occur, but plants normally outgrow these effects with no adverse effects on maturity or crop yield. 46

49 It gets the job done right. Use Reglone for control of harvest timing to help deliver a quality crop at the right time. This will allow for easier harvest because desiccated plants pass through harvesting equipment easier. It also allows potato tubers to mature naturally, developing a thicker, more resistant skin while reducing disease transmission by stopping growth of potato tops, ultimately reducing the potential for tuber rot. Crops: Alfalfa Beans Adzuki (dry) Red kidney White Canola Carrots Cole crops (various) Corn Cucumbers Oats (corn spurry control) Onions Peas (field or dry) Potato (vine killing) Potatoes Red clover Soybeans 47

50 Turnips And many more crops For Control Of: Reglone will desiccate any green plant material, whether it is a crop, annual or perennial weed. Timing: Beans (white and red kidney beans, soybeans and adzuki beans) Spray at 80-90% leaf defoliation and when at least 80% of the pods have turned yellow. Harvest within a week or 7-10 days. This treatment does not mature beans nor does it lower moisture content of beans. Potatoes Spray at least 14 days before harvest. Best results are obtained after growth has passed its peak and adequate skin set has been established. A second application can be made 4-6 days after the first application. Application Information: Reglone is rainfast when dry and is effective in cool or warm weather. Fungicide may be added when making applications to potatoes. Use clean water. Activity is reduced by dirty spray or water or by dust on foliage. Desiccation will be enhanced by applications made under cloudy conditions or in evening after sunlight is reduced. 48

51 Adverse weather conditions such as rainfall, cool temperatures and high humidity will slow drydown. Germination of seed is not affected by Reglone for all crops which could go for seed sale. Precaution: Do note apply Reglone to potatoes during drought conditions, particularly when it is so dry that the tops wilt during the day. After such conditions, wait for at least 3 days after the soil has been thoroughly moistened by rain or irrigation. Rotation: Reglone is inactivated on contact with soil and therefore has no residual effect.
