The adoption of biotechnology combined with seed treatment is the best strategy for controlling pests, diseases, and soil fungi in the early growth stage. For this reason, LG Sementes applies industrial seed treatment to its varieties.
Ensures uniform distribution of products on each seed;
Maintains seed quality in terms of vigor and germination;
Provides more safety and convenience, reducing the risk of intoxication due to lower exposure to chemicals;
Minimizes environmental impact due to the smaller amount of active ingredients per area, compared to foliar applications.
• Fortenza DUO
Composition: FORTENZA®, CRUISER®, and MAXIM® Advanced fungicide.
Active ingredients: Cyantraniliprole, Thiamethoxam, Metalaxyl-M, Thiabendazole, Fludioxonil
Recommended for corn and soybean crops, Fortenza Duo is an important tool for integration with biotechnology, as it enhances suppression effects for caterpillar control and expands the control spectrum. Cyantraniliprole is especially important in situations with high pressure from corn borers and caterpillars (Spodoptera frugiperda, Agrotis ipsilon, and Elasmopalpus lignosellus).
Thiamethoxam in the mixture increases the control spectrum for green stink bugs and leafhoppers in corn. In soybeans, it complements the control of whiteflies, corn borers, bean weevils, and soybean pests.
• Cruiser
Composition: CRUISER® and MAXIM® Advanced fungicide.
Active ingredients: Thiamethoxam, Metalaxyl-M, Thiabendazole, Fludioxonil
Recommended for corn, this insecticide is widely used in the market to control major sucking insects, such as green stink bugs and corn leafhoppers, and is also effective against corn borers. This product also contributes to rapid crop establishment due to its bioactivator effect.
