CONTROL, AND/OR ILLEGAL RESIDUES. 

Treatment of highly mechanically scarred or damaged seed, or seed known to be of low 

vigor and poor quality, except for the purpose of curative control of existing disease 

pests, may result in reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor. 

Treat a small quantity of seed using equipment similar to that planned for treating the 

total seed lot. Conduct germination tests on a small portion of seed before committing 

the total seed lot to a selected seed treatment. Due to seed quality, crop or variety 

sensitivity, and seed storage conditions beyond the control of Syngenta, no claims are 

made to guarantee the germination of carry-over seed or propagating material for all 

crop seed.

USE INFORMATION 

A17960A ST is a seed treatment insecticide belonging to the diamide family of 

compounds. This product contains the active ingredient cyantraniliprole. Once 

ingested by a susceptible insect species, cyantraniliprole impairs muscle regulation of 

the susceptible insects leading to paralysis and eventual death of that insect. 

Cyantraniliprole is a Group 28 insecticide. 

Cyantraniliprole is a broad-spectrum insecticide belonging to the chemical class of 

bisamides. Cyantraniliprole products are effective on the larval stages of lepidopteran 

insects; and also on thrips, aphids and some other insect pests including some 

coleopterans and dipterans. The length of control of the major insect pests will vary 

depending on the product use rate, insect pressure, crop growth and maturity, and soil 

and environmental conditions. When rate ranges are given, use the higher rate within 

the listed rate range when insect pressure is expected to be high.

Resistance Management 

Some insect pests are known to develop resistance to products after repeated use. 

Because resistance development cannot be predicted, the use of this product should 

conform to sound resistance management strategies established for the crop and use 

area. Syngenta encourages responsible product stewardship to ensure effective longterm control of the insects on this label. 

A17960A ST contains a Group 28 insecticide (cyantraniliprole, belonging to the diamide 

class of chemistry). Insect biotypes with acquired or inherent resistance to Group 28 

insecticides may eventually dominate the insect population if Group 28 insecticides are 

used repeatedly as the predominant method of control for targeted species. This may 

result in partial or total loss of control of those species by A17960A ST or other Group 

28 insecticides. 

If resistance to this product develops in your area, this product, or other products with a 

similar mode of action, may not provide adequate control. If poor performance cannot 

be attributed to improper application or extreme weather conditions, a resistant strain of 

insect may be present. If you experience difficulty with control and resistance is a 

reasonable cause, immediately consult your local company representative or 

agricultural advisor for the best alternative method of control for your area. 

In order to maintain susceptibility to this class of chemistry: 

• Avoid using Group 28 insecticides exclusively for season long control of insect 

species with more than one generation per crop season. 

• For insect species with successive or overlapping generations, apply A17960A ST or 

other Group 28 insecticides using a “treatment window” approach. A treatment 

window is a period of time as defined by the stage of crop development and/or the 

biology of the pests of concern. Within the treatment window, depending on the 

length of residual activity, there may either be single or consecutive applications 
-7- 

(seed treatment, soil, foliar, unless otherwise stated in the directions for use) of the 

Group 28 insecticides. Do not exceed the maximum A17960A ST allowed per 

growing season. 

• Following a treatment window of Group 28 insecticides, rotate to a treatment window 

of effective products with a different mode of action before making additional 

applications of Group 28 insecticides. 

• A treatment window rotation, along with other IPM practices for the crop and use 

area, is considered an effective strategy for preventing or delaying a pest’s ability to 

develop resistance to this class of chemistry. 

• If resistance is suspected, do not reapply A17960A ST or any other Group 28 

insecticides. 

Other Insect Resistance Management (IRM) practices include: 

 Incorporating IPM techniques into your insect control program. 

 Monitoring treated insect populations for loss of field efficacy. 

 Using tank-mixtures or premixes with insecticides from a different target site of 

action group as long as the involved products are all registered for the same crop 

outlet and effective rates are applied. 

For additional information on Insect Resistance Management: 

 Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisor and/or product 

manufacturer for additional insect resistance management recommendations. 

 Visit the Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) on the web at: 

http://www.irac-online.org/. 

MIXING PROCEDURES 

Important: Thoroughly shake the container of A17960A ST prior to use. 

Apply A17960A ST as a water-based slurry utilizing standard slurry seed treatment 

equipment which provides uniform seed coverage. Uneven or incomplete seed 

coverage may not give the desired level of insect or disease control. Thoroughly mix 

the specified amount of A17960A into the required amount of water for the slurry treater 

and dilution rate to be used. The typical density of A17960A ST is 10.25 pounds per 

gallon. Consult the manufacturer of the application equipment you plan to use for 

suitability for this application and for instructions on operation and calibration of the 

equipment. 

• Use an EPA-approved dye or colorant that imparts an unnatural color to the seed 

as stated in 40 CFR 153.155 (c). 

• Allow seed to dry before bagging. 

• Store away from feed and foodstuffs. 

A17960A ST has been found to be compatible with some liquid inoculant products. 

A17960A ST may be mixed or applied sequentially with approved liquid inoculants. 
-8- 

Consult the maker of the liquid inoculants and a Syngenta Crop Protection 

representative for directions before applying A17960A ST with inoculants. 

SEED BAG LABEL REQUIREMENTS 

The Federal Seed Act requires that bags containing treated seeds shall be labeled with 

the following statements: 

• This seed has been treated with cyantraniliprole insecticide. 

• Do not use for feed, food or oil purposes. 

In addition, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requires the following statements 

on bags containing seeds treated with A17960A ST (cyantraniliprole): 

• Store away from food and feedstuffs. 

• Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants and chemical-resistant gloves when handling 

treated seed. 

• Treated seeds exposed on soil surface may be hazardous to wildlife. Cover or 

collect treated seeds spilled during loading. 

• Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting equipment wash 

waters. 

• Dispose of seed packaging in accordance with local requirements. 

• Do not allow children, pets, or livestock to have access to treated seed. 

• Treated seed must be planted into the soil at a depth greater than 1 inch. 

• Dispose of all excess treated seed. Leftover treated seed may be doublesown 

around the headland or buried away from water sources in accordance with local 

requirements. Do not contaminate water bodies when disposing of planting 

equipment washwaters.

CROP USE DIRECTIONS 

POTATOES 

A17960A ST is to be used as an integral part of potato pest management strategy. This 

strategy includes the use of high quality certified potato seed, proper crop rotation, 

monitoring proper insect population thresholds, appropriate comprehensive insect 

control measures, optimal harvest time of potato tubers and proper handling of the 

potatoes. Consult your local agricultural extension agent for more detailed information 

on insect management practices. 

Direction for Use

A17960A ST at label rates provides protection against the damage caused by Colorado 

potato beetle and European corn borer during early to mid season growth and 

development of potatoes. A full season protection or complete reduction of damage 

from the use of A17960A ST is not expected against the listed insects. Apply A17960A 

ST at a rate to achieve between 6 to 13.5 grams active cyantraniliprole per 100 kg of 

seed tuber (each milliliter of A17960A ST contains 0.6 grams of cyantraniliprole). 

For protection against certain seed and soil borne diseases of potatoes A17960A ST 

may be applied with Maxim® 4 FS, Dynasty® 100 FS or CruiserMaxx® Potato family of 

products. Application of A17960A ST with CruiserMaxx Potato also provides protection 

against potato aphids, green peach aphids, beet leaf hopper and psyllids. 

Application of A17960A ST 

Apply A17960A ST utilizing Syngenta approved seed treating systems designed to 

apply liquid seed treatments of potatoes. Uneven or incomplete seed coverage may not 

give the desired level of insect control. For slurry treatment thoroughly mix the specified 

amount of A 17960A ST into the required amount of water for the slurry treater and 

dilution rate to be used. Maintain constant agitation of the slurry during the seed 

treatment process. Follow the manufacturer’s application instructions for the seed 

treatment equipment being used with appropriate set-up and calibration. Calibrate the 

equipment so that every potato seed tuber is uniformly coated with a fine layer of the 

slurry mix without any excess dripping out of the treated seed. 

DO NOT BAG POTATO SEED THAT IS TREATED WITH ANY LIQUID SEED 

TREATMENTS. 

Storing Treated Seed 

If the treated seed needs to be stored or held for few days (2 to 3 weeks maximum) 

then make sure that the seed is stored in well ventilated areas that would allow air to 

move through and out the treated seed. An ideal air temperature is 60 degrees 

Fahrenheit at a relative humidity of 85 to 90 percent. Do not allow free moisture to form 

within or around the treated seed during the storage time. 
-10- 

Note: Best results are obtained if treated potatoes are allowed to dry during transit and 

planted the same day of treatment. 

If an inert dust (fir bark or talc etc.) or a dust-based fungicide is applied, apply A17960A 

ST prior to applying the dust treatments. 

Syngenta, LLC makes no claims as to the effect of this product or delivery 

systems on germination of the potato seed. The user, buyer or applicator of the 

seed treatment assumes all risks from such application. 

Note: Treatment of highly damaged or bruised potato seed, or seed known to be of low 

vigor and poor quality, or potato seed that is deemed “physiologically old” may result in 

reduced germination and/or reduction of seed and seedling vigor and multiple stems 

from germination of the seed. When in doubt or if the status/condition of the potato 

seed tubers is unknown, then treat a small sample batch of the same potato seed load 

with A17960A ST using specified rates, equipment, and application procedures; before 

treating the total seed lot. Conduct this test on a small batch of the potato seed and 

observe the germination, emergence, stem count from the germinating seed. Consult 

the data with local experts in the region or conduct the test with University or area 

experts. Only if the data confirms that the seed treated with A17960A ST is acceptable 

then proceed treating the rest of the seed load from which the sample was taken. Due 

to seed quality, seed condition and seed storage conditions beyond the control of 

Syngenta LLC no claims are made to guarantee the germination and or 

performance the potato seed tuber from treatment with A17960A ST.

SUNFLOWER SEED TREATMENT 

To provide early season protection against cutworm damage on sunflowers. 

Direction for Use

A17960A ST at label rates provides protection against the damage caused by cutworms 

during early season growth and development of sunflower. Full season protection or 

complete reduction of damage from the use of A17960A ST is not expected against the 

listed insects. Apply A17960A ST at a rate to achieve 0.1 to 0.2 milligrams active 

cyantraniliprole per seed* (each milliliter of A17960A ST contains 0.6 grams of 

cyantraniliprole). 

*Based on an average of 4,500 seeds per pound. 

It is highly recommended to apply A17960A ST with compatible and registered seed 

treatment fungicides such as Apron XL®, Dynasty and Maxim 4FS which are proven to
