Lumiderm®
Insecticide Seed Treatment
A breakthrough in soybean seedling protection with a new insecticide class and mode of action against early season insect pests.
Lumiderm® insecticide seed treatment protects soybean seedlings for eye-catching vigor and uniform stand establishment.
Lumiderm is an ideal product for farmers focused on high yield potential through early planting and when using cover crops to protect against insect populations attracted to decaying crop residue or over crop plants.
Additional Mode of Action
When paired with neonicotinoid seed treatment, Lumiderm provides an additional MOA against bean leaf beetle, seed corn maggot and aphids.
Pair with Phalanx™ for 2X MOA against:
- Seedcorn maggots
- Aphids
- Bean leaf beetles
- Thrips
- White grubs
- Wireworms
Control More Insects
Increased insect control beyond flea beetle, seed corn maggot and bean leaf beetle to now include cutworms, white grubs, thrips, and wireworms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pests does Lumiderm control?
Lumiderm controls seedcorn maggots, wireworms, cutworms, white grubs, thrips, aphids, bean leaf beetles, corn earworms, soybean loopers, velvetbean caterpillars.
Is Lumiderm a neonicotinoid?
No. The active ingredient in Lumiderm, cyantraniliprole (IRAC Group 28), is a diamide insecticide. When paired with a neonicotinoid seed treatment like Phalanx™ insecticide seed treatment, Lumiderm provides an additional MOA against a broad spectrum of pests.
How does Lumiderm work?
Lumiderm is a systemic insecticide and protects the seed, roots, and seedlings. It stops insect feeding almost immediately.
Will I see a visual difference in the field?
The visual appearance has been described as “eye-catching early season vigor.” There’s also data showing a 19.6% improvement in plant stands when paired with Phalanx compared to no insecticide seed treatment.3
What’s my ROI?
Lumiderm delivers an average 1 bu/A - 3 bu/A advantage when added to the LumiGEN® soybean seed treatment package.4
1Significant yield improvement and reduction in plant stand gaps based on Corteva Agriscience research data 2018-2019, 73 locations.
2Data collected at Corteva Agriscience from 2019-2022 from 152 locations indicate a statistically significant improvement in stand and vigor when Lumiderm is paired with a neonic insecticide compared to no insecticide seed treatment.
3Data generated by Corteva Agriscience from 103 locations from 2021 - 2023 indicate a broad acre 1 bu/A advantage under standard field conditions when Lumiderm® insecticide seed treatment is added to the base LumiGEN® soybean seed treatment recipe. With higher insect pressure locations, >3 bu/A advantages were observed when Lumiderm was added to the base LumiGEN soybean recipe.
