Better Disease Protection, Stronger Roots

Syngenta is introducing Vibrance^® seed treatment fungicide for use on corn. It will be sold with Avicta^® Complete Corn nematicide / insecticide / fungicide and marketed as Avicta Complete Corn with Vibrance, a combination of separately registered products. The addition of Vibrance to the already robust Avicta Complete Corn package provides a new mode of action against Rhizoctonia for best-in-class disease protection and stronger, healthier roots. By helping to increase root surface area, this seed treatment can improve a plant's ability to absorb water and nutrients and manage stress.

Beginning in 2015, Syngenta will treat all new U.S. corn seed production with Avicta Complete Corn with Vibrance. "We chose to adopt Avicta Complete Corn with Vibrance across our seed portfolio because it's the most comprehensive seed treatment on the market," says Eric Boersma, head of corn seed product management at Syngenta. "It's important to use a complete seed treatment package that provides instant, consistent, reliable protection of each grower's seed purchase investment."
