Corn Seed Treatments

While their presence often is unknown, corn nematodes are present on many acres and have potential to rob corn farmers of yield. Lumialza^® nematicide seed treatment is a biological nematicide that shields plant roots from nematodes and works with beneficial soil organisms that improve water and nutrient absorption. Lumialza provides >80 days of root protection in all root zones against a wide range of nematodes, including sting, needle, lance, stubby-root, root-knot, dagger and lesion. Reduced nematode pressure means higher yield potential. Seed treated with Lumialza nematicide yielded an advantage of 3.7 bu/A under low nematode pressure, and up to 9 bu/A under heavier pressure in 2018 research trials.**

Our new premium seed treatment package includes Lumiscend™ Pro, a unique combination of four active ingredients (3, 4, 7, 22) for long-lasting seed and soil-borne disease protection against pythium, rhizoctonia, fusarium and corn head smut species. Bringing multiple modes of action into the fungicide recipe protects against a full spectrum of diseases -- delivering the most comprehensive disease protection package yet. Research shows corn treated with ipconazole, a recent addition to the disease protection offering, produced a yield advantage of 3 bu/A over the previous standard seed treatment and an average yield advantage of 8 bu/A in areas with early season stress.*

Lumivia^® insecticide seed treatment at a 250 rate delivers a unique mode of action against chewing insects and enhances insecticidal protection against wireworm, white grub, black cutworm, seed corn maggot, grape colaspis and fall armyworm. It is complemented by clothianidin at a 250 rate. Combined, these two modes of action provide protection against the broadest insect spectrum in the industry, delivering better plant stands and reducing runt plants.
