Seed Treatment

We offer Dividend Extreme® and Cruiser® seed treatment for wheat on request.

Dividend Extreme® from Syngenta is a generalist fungicidal seed treatment for extensive cereal growing and controls a broad spectrum of diseases. Dividend Extreme® is a seed treatment that protects wheat from yield-damaging diseases such as bunt, smut, seedling blight, root rot and leaf stripe.

US trials show that seeds treated with Dividend Extreme® germinate two days faster when compared with the current market standard. This is followed by an even and uniform emergence of the seedling, which leads to good plant density.

Dividend Extreme® delivers systemic action to seeds and young crops, which means that the active ingredient moves up the plant as it grows. Disease cycles are difficult to break once a field has been infected. Seed treatment ensures that this threat stays out of the field.

Dividend Extreme's® activity is unaffected by humidity levels: its performance is consistent whether used in an arid or a wet climatic region. It makes itself at home in a wide range of farming conditions and can therefore be truly called a versatile fungicidal seed treatment.

Cruiser®, a product of Syngenta, is a systemic insecticide. With an excellent seed safety margin, Cruiser® protects plants from a broad spectrum of seed, soil, and foliar chewing and sucking insects to help get crops off to a healthy, vigorous start. Studies show that seed treated with Cruiser® results in improved plant stand, vigor, and yield. Cruiser® offers a convenient way to replace planter box, in-furrow, and foliar insecticide applications for early season insects.

More than 10 years of research has led scientists to the discovery of why thiamethoxam, the active ingredient in Cruiser® seed treatment insecticide, offers growers significantly more robust and vigorous plants. Typically known for offering growers insect protection on a variety of crops around the world, thiamethoxam also is scientifically linked to increased vigor that is evidenced by faster emergence, greater plant stands, earlier canopy, increased root mass, and higher yield potential even in situations where there is no visible pest attack.
