Lumidapt™ is the latest addition to the Corteva Agriscience LumiGEN® corn seed treatment package. Lumidapt Valta LS is a biological seed treatment that aims to encourage germination and strong root development leading to more uniform corn emergence.
Brad Van Kooten is a marketing leader with Pioneer Seeds and says that this seed treatment will eventually become standard in each bag of Pioneer corn seed.
Lumidapt Valta LS contains lignosulfonates which are biopolymers derived from lignin present in the cell walls of all plants says Van Kooten.
Van Kooten says that Corteva research shows a yield advantage in multi-year testing of Lumidapt Valta LS.
The latest LumiGEN® corn seed treatment package will be available exclusively to Corteva seed brands, including Pioneer brand hybrids, for 2026 planting pending regulatory approval.
