See how Avicta Complete Corn affects pests and boosts yields potential.


Over the past three years, Syngenta Seedcare has field-tested the yield benefits of Avicta Complete Corn versus Cruiser Extreme® 250 insecticide/fungicide, the seed treatment market leader. Results show that even in varying conditions, growers can expect, over time, a 5.1 bushel-per-acre average yield increase on 85 percent of the corn acres over time.

During a four-year trial period, Avicta Complete Corn showed a 22.88 bushel per acre yield increase over the standard insecticide/fungicide package in fields with heavy nematode pressure.

A 15-trial survey conducted in the Southern U.S. demonstrated a 5.3 percent yield increase between crops treated with Avicta Complete Corn and crops treated with Cruiser Extreme 250.

Avicta Complete Corn provides immediate protection against nematodes, insects and diseases, which is evident through research trials that have resulted in strong, high-yielding corn plants. In 2008, a set of 35 large-block, side-by-side on-farm trials were conducted by private consultants in Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. In these trials, the yield advantage of Avicta Complete Corn averaged 8.7 bushels per acre above Cruiser Extreme® 250.
