A versatile seed treatment is vital to helping farmers face early season challenges. As farmers continue the trend of planting soybeans earlier, growers are facing hurdles brought about by cool and wet weather and need solutions.

The Corteva Agriscience LumiGEN® seed treatment lineup for soybeans now includes Lumiante® fungicide seed treatment and Phalanx™ insecticide seed treatment.

Brad Van Kooten, Seed Applied Technology Leader with Pioneer says that Lumiante® fungicide seed treatment is designed to help growers fight against Pythium and Phytophthora.

As growers plant soybeans earlier in the spring, they need options for dealing with problems brought about by wet and cold conditions, says Van Kooten.

He says growers can also expect to be better protected against insects with the introduction of Phalanx™ insecticide seed treatment, which will replace Gaucho® seed treatment.
