Lumialza nematicide seed treatment

Shield Crop Roots From Yield-Robbing Nematodes

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.**

Lumiscend Pro fungicide seed treatment

Protect Your Corn From Diseases

Our premium seed treatment package features Lumiscend™ Pro fungicide seed treatment, which offers a unique combination of three active ingredients (inpyrfluxam, ethaboxam, and metalaxl) for outstanding seed and soil-borne disease protection. Bringing multiple modes of action into the fungicide recipe protects against a full spectrum of diseases – delivering the most comprehensive disease protection package yet. Inpyrfluxam is a new Group 7 active ingredient that protects against Fusarium spp., as well as providing industry leading protection from Rhizoctonia seed- and soil-borne diseases. Across all environments, Lumiscend Pro fungicide seed treatment delivers a consistent 1 bu/A yield advantage, while in higher disease environments, the advantage jumps to 3 bu/A in multiyear trials. Ethaboxam and metalaxyl (Group 22 and 4, respectively) provide two robust modes of action against Pythium spp., including metalaxyl-resistant strains. In addition to Lumiscend Pro, the LumiGEN fungicide seed treatment package is partnered with ipconazole, (Group 3) for protection against head smut, as well as an additional mode of action against Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani and L-2012 R which is a biological fungicide adding more protection against Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani.
