Syngenta Thrive - 3Q/2013 - 4

WHAT’S IN STORE

Beginning in 2014, a new fungicide component
will increase the power of CruiserMaxx® Sunﬂower
seed treatment insecticide/fungicide, a combination of separately registered products. With the addition of Bion® seed
treatment fungicide, CruiserMaxx Sunﬂower will offer enhanced
early-season protection against downy mildew, a common
sunﬂower disease capable of killing or stunting plants, reducing
stands, and causing yield losses. A mainstay for growers,
CruiserMaxx Sunﬂower provides insect and disease protection,
improves germination and emergence, enhances stand
establishment, and increases crop vigor.
