Maxim Quattro is a broad-spectrum seed treatment fungicide used to control various fungal diseases in corn, sweet corn, and popcorn. It contains four active ingredients: Fluoxiconil (3.32%), Mefenoxam (2.83%), Azoxystrobin (1.53%), and Thiabendazole (26.50%). This product is specifically designed for seed treatment to manage seed-borne and soil-borne fungi, including diseases like seedling damping-off, corn smut (Sporisorium reilianum), and various Rhizoctonia, Penicillium, Pythium, and Fusarium species. It is applied as a water-based slurry directly to the seed. When mixing with tank-mix partners, users should ensure compatibility and follow specific agitation instructions. Handling requires specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and chemical-resistant gloves (barrier laminate, nitrile, neoprene, PVC, or Viton). Users should avoid contact with eyes and skin, and prevent environmental contamination of water bodies, especially since Mefenoxam and Azoxystrobin can leach into groundwater. It is also toxic to fish, aquatic invertebrates, oysters, and shrimp. Always follow Worker Protection Standard (WPS) requirements and ensure treated seeds are labeled correctly.
