A CruiserMaxx® Beans brand is an insecticide and fungicide seed treatment combination that provides soybean growers with first-class protection against harmful insects and diseases that negatively affect crop quality and yield. The first commercial insecticide/fungicide seed treatment combination on the market for soybeans, CruiserMaxx Beans protects seeds and seedlings against a wide range of yield-threatening insects and diseases to help increase stand and vigor, promote earlier canopy closure and improve yield potential.
Supplying protection from the moment the seed is planted, CruiserMaxx Beans provides a larger window of time to scout for insect infestations, and reduces the threat of damage from insect populations already present in the field and from insects that move into the field from adjacent fields or areas. CruiserMaxx Beans may also decrease the spread of insect-transmitted viruses by reducing the level and duration of insect feeding. Maximum soybean yields are often achieved with a combination of a CruiserMaxx Beans seed treatment and a foliar application of Warrior II with Zeon Technology® insecticide later in the season.
Triple Protection Against Nematodes, Insects and Diseases
Recent advancements in formulation and application technology have led to the development of a seed treatment nematicide for corn that provides protection against yield-robbing plant pathogenic nematodes. Avicta® Complete Corn combines an Avicta brand seed treatment nematicide with an increased rate of Cruiser® seed treatment insecticide (0.50 mg ai/seed) and the industry’s most robust seed treatment fungicide package (Apron XL®, Maxim® XL and Dynasty®). Providing corn growers with an innovative and convenient technology applied directly to the seed, Avicta Complete Corn is designed to effectively safeguard corn seedlings against the most damaging early-season pests. Avicta Complete Corn offers superior protection against the early-season threat of nematodes, insects and diseases, providing greater benefit than when its individual components are used alone.
A combination of the active ingredients in Apron® XL and Maxim® 4FS seed treatment fungicides and blue colorant, ApronMaxx® RFC (Rhizobia Friendly Concentrate) offers the widest range of disease protection available for soybeans in a concentrated rhizobia-friendly formulation that is safe to nitrogen-fixing bacteria applied to the seed. ApronMaxx RFC offers a lower application volume than ApronMaxx RTA and is designed for on-site treating with combinations of Cruiser® seed treatment insecticide and liquid inoculants. ApronMaxx RFC helps protect crop investments by improving plant stands and vigor, therefore enabling soybean growers to avoid replanting costs and maximize yield potential.
ApronMaxx RFC protects against damping off and seed rots due to Pythium, Phytophthora, Fusarium, Rhizoctonia spp. and early-season Phytophthora root rot. ApronMaxx RFC also protects against seed-borne Sclerotinia and Phomopsis spp.
