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.
