Syngenta Announces New 5-Way Seed Treatment

I’m KayDee Gilkey with the Northwest Farm and Ranch Report after this.

Syngenta is helping growers in the Pacific NW prepare for winter wheat planting by delivering a new five-way seed treatment offer containing Vibrance™ seed treatment fungicide.  Vibrance brand seed treatment offers enhanced, longer-lasting disease protection, including best-in-class Rhizoctonia activity, which results in stronger, more powerful roots.

Syngenta Seedcare Brand Asset Lead Chad Shelton shares more.

Shelton: “We’re adding a third fungicide in a five-way mix in our custom blends that are provided to the commercial seed houses. So we have Vibrance which gives enhanced Rhizoctonia control. We have ipconazole which is going to give us Fusarium activity. We have difenoconazole which going to give us great activity on a broad spectrum of diseases. And then we have mefenoxam which is giving us activity on Pythium. Then combining that with our insecticide Cruiser at three different rates and the growers can choose on which rate fits them best based on the pest pressure they have. The launch of Vibrance is bringing to the grower a combination of five active ingredients to have the most robust and powerful seed protection available today.”

Shelton says the enhanced RootingPower of Vibrance brands helps produce more even emergence, improve nutrient and moisture uptake, and develop stronger plants.
