4 Fungicides
Providing Better Control
IPCONAZOLE
Rhizoctonia & Fusarium control.
THIABENDAZOLE
Phomopsis & seedborne fungi control.
MEFENOXAM
Pythium & early season Phytophthora control.
ETHABOXAM
Additional mode of action for Phytophthora control & resistant Pythium species
3 Biostimulants
A Combination of Hormones, Amino Acids & Nutrients
Biostimulants increase yield by allowing the crop to perform at an optimal level, even under stress.
5 ESSENTIAL NUTRIENTS
P2O5 , Mn, B, Fe, Zn
Boost germination and early growth.
BLEND OF PLANT EXTRACTS
Amino Acids, glucose and vitamins induce enzyme activity, enhance germination & early growth
+2.3 bu/A
Average Yield Advantage
Tripidity ST allows each seed to receive the same emergence message and complete cellular food source at the same time.
BALANCED RATIO OF HORMONES
INDOLE-3-BUTRYIC ACID (IBA) IBA is an auxin that enhances root growth; involved in apical dominance, stimulates cell elongation, enhances fruit and seed development.
CYTOKININ (KINETIN)
Stimulates cell division, involved in shoot growth, delays leaf senescence and activates dormant buds.
GIBBERELLIC ACID (GA)
Stimulates seed germination, shoot elongation, flowering and regulates production of hydrolytic enzymes in grains.
2 Seed Finishers
Improving Plantability
Shiny slick appearance improves plantability. Polymer helps eliminate dust off.
Colorant
Know Your Product
Red color indicates seed are treated.
Insecticide
Imidacloprid
Overwintering bean leaf beetles, aphids, seedcorn maggots, wire worm & grape colaspis control.
2 Biologicals
Chitosan & Heads Up®
1. Chitosan
2.
Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR)
Unique mode of action. Stimulates natural defense pathways providing season-long systemic protection against SDS + sclerotinia white mold Average +2.08 bu/A yield increase *data source: Iowa State University. Dr. X.B. Yang
Victrato®
Tymirium® Technology
GROUND-BREAKING TECHNOLOGY
Victrato® Seed Treatment with TYMIRIUM® technology provides strong protection against nematodes, Sudden Death Syndrome and Red Crown Rot.
PRECISION TARGETING
Smart-Site Targeting precisely attacks nematodes and pathogens while protecting beneficial organisms.
YIELD-BOOSTING PERFORMANCE
Helps drive higher yield potential by strengthening early plant health.
EXTENDED DISEASE DEFENSE
Suppresses early foliar diseases and boosts foliar fungicide performance.
Trunemco™
The Only Dual Mode of Action Against SCN
DUAL MODES OF ACTION
Only seed applied nematicide with dual modes of action; a biological organism paired with a hard chemistry.
STOP NEMATODES
The living organism in TrunemcoTM attacks specific body parts of the nematode adults, juveniles and eggs.
PRIME PLANT PHYSIOLOGY
This biochemical primes plant physiology, activating its defenses.
SECURE GENETIC POTENTIAL
Suppression of nematodes with dual modes of action secures soybean’s genetic potential against SCN.
Our Newest Soybean Seed Treatment for Higher Yields
Starting Line Plus is one of the most sophisticated seed treatments that you can buy from a major seed company. The combination of our base soybean seed treatment, Starting Line, with Victrato® and Trunemco® has an additive effect to yield, protection and enhancement. Three major yield robbing pests in soybean production are Sudden Death Syndrome, Soybean Cyst Nematode, and Red Crown Rot. Starting Line Plus gives you two different modes of action against Sudden Death Syndrome and Red Crown Rot, and three different modes of action against Soybean Cyst Nematode. No other major brands offer this level of protection against diseases that can cause large percentages of yield loss.
Higher Yield Potential
+4 bushels per acre (bu/A) yield improvement over ILEVO® seed treatment, under SDS pressure.
Superior SDS Protection
More power to protect against the cause of SDS (Fusarium virguliforme).
No Early Season Plant Stress
Protection from SDS without signs of plant stress, including phytotoxicity, stunting, and susceptibility to pests, weather or herbicide programs.
Above and Below Ground Vigor
Stronger plant stand and larger root mass for healthier plants, above and below ground.
Dual Modes of Action
The Only seed applied nematicide with dual modes of action; a biological organism paired with a hard chemistry.
Stop Nematodes
The living organism in Trunemco™ attacks specific body parts of the nematode adults, juveniles and eggs.
Prime Plant Physiology
This biochemical primes plant physiology, activating its defenses.
Secure Genetic Potential
Suppression of nematodes with dual modes of action secures soybean’s genetic potential against SCN.
