GREENSBORO, N.C. ― Syngenta announced today its latest offering for cereals, CruiserMaxx Vibrance Elite seed treatment, has been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. It will be available for use in the upcoming growing season.
CruiserMaxx Vibrance Elite, a fungicide and insecticide seed treatment premix, is an upgraded formulation of CruiserMaxx Vibrance Cereals. It delivers best-in-class, early-season disease and insect protection through advanced components to provide cereal crops with the strongest possible start.
"This premix has been rigorously tested to help ensure it fits the need for an all-in-one seed treatment that protects against key insect pests and diseases," said Bryn Hightower, product lead for Syngenta Seedcare. "The mixture of trusted ingredients helps cereal crops emerge evenly with strong stand establishment and root mass, helping to maximize plant populations. Compared with other seed treatments available on the market, we've observed an average of 18% greater plant stand and a 3.3 bushels per acre yield increase in Pythium-inoculated winter wheat.1"
CruiserMaxx Vibrance Elite includes two modes of action on Rhizoctonia, Fusarium and Pythium, including mefeboxam- and ethaboxam-resistant isolates, and is labeled for management of a wide range of other early-season seedborne and soilborne diseases and insect pests.
Improved plant emergence and overall plant health and vigor are noticeable in plants grown from CruiserMaxx Vibrance Elite-treated seed. This rhizotron experiment shows performance against Pythium ultimum and the fresh mass of each plant. The experiments on the left used a metalaxyl-sensitive isolate, and the experiments on the right used a metalaxyl-insensitive isolate. Syngenta trials at The Seedcare Institute; Stanton, MN 2024.
"The high-performing seed treatments of Vayantis for high-pressure Pythium situations, Maxim 4FS for Fusarium and seed decay protection, and an increased rate of Cruiser 5FS for insect management all in one premix will help cereals growers better safeguard the potential of every high-value seed they plant," said Hightower. "We know that every seedling on every acre counts, and this premix is another tool to help growers maximize their investment and see stands that deliver to their bottom line."
