Avicta Complete Corn, a combination of separately registered products, combines an Avicta brand seed treatment nematicide with Cruiser® seed treatment insecticide and a combination of the industry’s most robust seed treatment fungicides: Apron XL® (mefenoxam), Maxim® XL (fludioxonil) and Dynasty® (azoxystrobin) or Maxim Quattro, a new seed treatment fungicide premix formulation containing mefenoxam, fludioxonil, azoxystrobin plus thiabendazole. Thiabendazole, an active ingredient never before registered for seed treatment use on corn, offers best-in-class protection against Fusarium, specifically Fusarium verticillioides. Providing corn growers with a 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 component products are used alone. It is immediate, consistent and reliable—protecting the investment and value of the seed the day it is planted.
