Give Your Soybean Seed a Head Start
Make the most of your seed investment with protection from the portfolio of LumiGEN® seed treatments. With a powerful, proven formulation, these innovative technologies protect your Pioneer® brand soybean seed from pests, diseases and challenging soil conditions. Give your soybeans a healthy start and maximize your yield potential with advanced seed treatment exclusive to Pioneer and other seed brands from Corteva Agriscience.
Best-in-Class Phytophthora Protection
Our foundation starts with LumiTreo™ fungicide seed treatment for best-in-class protection against Phytophthora, the No. 1 soybean disease. Research in multiyear trials shows soybeans treated with LumiTreo fungicide seed treatment produced a 4.0 bu/A yield advantage over metalaxyl, the previous leading technology for Phytophthora protection, in areas considered high pressure responsive locations.¹
Improved Plant Health
A biostimulant for improved early season root and plant growth is paired with a high-grade polymer for better seed flow and drop accuracy. The biofungicide inhibits seedling and root pathogens while it elicits systemic changes within the plant, activating the plant’s natural defense system. This increases nutrient uptake through healthier roots and sites for nodulations.
Protection From Pests
Available insect protection includes two modes of action with Lumiderm® insecticide seed treatment + Gaucho® Imidacloprid seed treatment combined to provide a broad spectrum insect protection, early vigor and uniform stands. Lumiderm insecticide seed treatment delivers a 1-3 bu/a yield advantage¹ and shields soybean seedlings against 2X the number of insect species including cutworms, white grubs, thrips and wireworms.²
Enhanced Protection With ILEVO® HL Fungicide Treatment
For acres at risk for sudden death syndrome (SDS) or soybean cyst nematode (SCN) injury, ILEVO® HL fungicide treatment delivers exceptional activity, protecting your genetic investment.
Tested and Proven
We’ve tested Pioneer® brand soybean performance with ILEVO® HL seed treatment over nearly a decade in SCN and SDS environments.
Delivering a Yield Advantage
Our multiyear research evaluating ILEVO® HL fungicide/nematicide demonstrated an average yield advantage of 1.5 bu/A with the SCN rate.
Higher Rate. Higher Return.
When applying the higher SCN/SDS rate, ILEVO® HL fungicide/nematicide showed an average yield advantage of 6.4 bu/A.
The Results Are In
We ran 76 blind head-to-head comparisons between LumiGEN® seed treatments with Pioneer® brand soybeans treated with ILEVO® HL fungicide treatment versus CruiserMaxx® Vibrance® plus Saltro® seed treatment.
See the study
Better Yield Protection Under SCN Pressure
Pioneer® brand soybeans treated with ILEVO® HL fungicide treatment outperformed Saltro® seed treatment by 1.1 bu/A under soybean cyst nematode pressure.*
A Yield Advantage Under SDS Pressure
Pioneer brand soybeans treated with ILEVO® HL fungicide treatment outperformed Saltro seed treatment by 0.7 bu/A under sudden death syndrome pressure.*
The Proof Is in the Roots – and the Stand
Protect your seed investment and plant with confidence. LumiGEN® seed treatments help to establish a healthier, more uniform corn crop for a strong start and greater yield potential. See the results from farmers who chose to #StartStrongWithLumiGEN.
