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
