GENERAL INFORMATION
Subdue MAXX Fungicide is a systemic fungicide for use on ornamentals grown in nurseries,
conifers grown in nurseries, golf course turf and turf for golf course and sod production. Subdue
MAXX Fungicide is readily absorbed through the roots of plants providing protection against
attack from diseases caused by Pythium and Phytophthora by working from inside the plants
under all weather conditions.
Rotational Crops
Do not plant any crop which is not registered for use with Metalaxyl-M and S-isomer in
Metalaxyl-M and S-isomer treated soil for a period of 12 months.
Approved Pamphlet Subdue MAXX 27055 06-04-03 Page 4 of 7
USE LIMITATIONS
Experience has shown that strains of fungus resistant to Metalaxyl-M and S-isomer may
develop. Failure to control the disease will result in crop damage and/or yield losses. Since the
occurrence of resistance cannot be foreseen, Syngenta accepts no responsibility for any loss of
or damage to, crops resulting from the failure of Subdue MAXX Fungicide to control the
resistant fungus strains. If high levels of disease appear, consult the government specialist
immediately. Do not use Subdue MAXX Fungicide for control of downy mildew diseases on the
crops listed on this label. Use only as a soil application except for disease control in turf.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
To avoid spray drift, do not apply under windy conditions. Avoid spray overlap, or crop injury
may result.
Mixing Instructions
Subdue MAXX Fungicide Only
Fill the spray tank 1/2 - 3/4 full with water, add the proper amount of Subdue MAXX Fungicide.
Then add the rest of the water. Provide sufficient agitation during mixing and application to
maintain a uniform emulsion.
For banded applications, calculate the amount of Subdue MAXX Fungicide needed as follows:
band width in cm x broadcast rate = amount needed per hectare
row width in cm per hectare
Tank Mixtures - Pesticides:
Subdue MAXX Fungicide can be tank mixed with Primo MAXX庐 Turf Growth Regulator. Read
the Primo MAXX label and follow the precautionary statement and directions for use.
1. Always check the compatibility of Primo MAXX tank mix using a jar test with
proportionate amounts of Subdue MAXX Fungicide and the water before mixing in the
spray tank.
2. Provide sufficient jet or mechanical agitation during filling and application to keep the
tank mix uniformly suspended.
3. Fill tank at least 1/2 full of clean water.
4. Add Subdue MAXX Fungicide first then Primo MAXX next.
5. Do not leave tank mix combinations in the spray tank for prolonged periods without
agitation. Mix and apply them the same day.
ORNAMENTALS
Use Subdue MAXX Fungicide on container, bench, or bed-grown ornamentals in greenhouses or
outdoor nurseries, for control of damping-off, and root and stem rot diseases caused by Pythium
and Phytophthora. Subdue MAXX Fungicide may be applied as a soil drench or incorporated into
a soil mix for subsequent seeding or transplanting of ornamentals. Ensure that the growing media
of container-grown plants is moist prior to a drench application of Subdue MAXX Fungicide. If soil
surface applications are made indoors, irrigate within 1-2 days to ensure product reaches the root

zone. If soil surface applications are made to plants grown in an outdoor nursery or landscape,
irrigate with at least 1.5 cm of water if rainfall does not occur within 7 days.

RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT
For resistance management, please note that Subdue MAXX Fungicide contains a Group 4
fungicide. Any fungal population may contain individuals naturally resistant to Metalaxyl-M and
S-isomer and other Group 4 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
Approved Pamphlet Subdue MAXX 27055 06-04-03 Page 7 of 7
that are not linked to site of action but specific for individual chemicals, such as enhanced
metabolism, may also exist. Appropriate resistance management strategies should be followed.
To delay fungicide resistance:
Where possible, rotate the use of Subdue MAXX Fungicide or other Group 4 fungicides with
different groups that control the same pathogens.
Fungicide use should be based on an IPM program that includes scouting, historical information
related to pesticide use and crop rotation and considers cultural, biological and other chemical
control practices.
Monitor treated fungal populations for resistance development.
If disease continues to progress after treatment with this product, do not increase the use rate.
Discontinue use of this product, and switch to another fungicide with a different target site of
action, if available.
Contact your local extension specialist or certified crop advisors for any additional pesticide
resistance management and/or IPM recommendations for specific crops and pathogens.
For further information or to report suspected resistance, contact company representatives at
1-87-SYNGENTA (1-877-964-3682) or at www.syngenta.ca.
