A new registration provides for Syngenta’s Cruiser Maxx Cereals seed treatment to be used on all small grain crops.
The thiamethoxam, metalaxyl-M and difenoconazole seed treatment had been registered for wheat.
Barley and oats have now been added.
The product provides early season suppression of wireworms and seed rot diseases, such as those caused by fusarium, pythium, penicillium and aspergillus pathogens.
It also treats seedling blight, damping off, loose smut and common root rot.
Until now, the product needed to be applied in a closed system seed treater.
That requirement has now been removed from the label, meaning producers can treat on the farm.
