Clariva Elite Beans Coming in 2018
Clariva Elite Beans seed treatment will be an important tool in the management of soybean cyst nematodes.
Because simpler is better, a new premix formulation of Clariva® pn nematicide and CruiserMaxx® Vibrance® Beans, a combination of separately registered products, is coming soon to retailers and will be marketed as Clariva Elite Beans seed treatment. Although the name is changing with the premix formulation, Clariva Elite Beans will remain the only nematicide on the market that provides season-long, lethal activity against soybean cyst nematode (SCN), the most damaging pest to soybean yields in the U.S.
For more than 20 years, growers have mostly managed SCN through rotating crops and planting varieties containing the PI88788 genetic source of resistance. But SCN is increasingly less susceptible to this form of management, and extension nematologists say growers need other forms of management.
Ireland notes that Clariva Elite Beans will make handling and application easier for treaters. At the same time, it will still provide the stand establishment, root health and SCN protection growers count on. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency registration is anticipated in time for the 2018 growing season.

“Clariva Elite Beans is another tool in growers’ SCN management toolboxes,” says Dale Ireland, Ph.D., technical product lead for Seedcare at Syngenta. “It’s an especially important development, given that one of the primary tools—PI88788—is no longer as sharp as it once was.”“Clariva Elite Beans is another tool in growers’ SCN management toolboxes.
