Objectives
- Pioneer Premium Seed Treatment (PPST) offering for Pioneer® brand wheat products includes Dividend Extreme® (mefenoxam and difenconazole) and Vibrance® (sedaxane) fungicide seed treatments (FST) plus Cruiser 5FS® (thiamethoxam) insecticide seed treatment (IST).
- Dividend Extreme/Vibrance FST for wheat provides protection against numerous seed borne, soil borne, and foliar diseases, including Pythium, Rhizoctonia, and dwarf bunt. The addition of sedaxane FST provides enhanced activity against Rhizoctonia and Fusarium.
- Cruiser 5FS IST provides early-season protection of seedlings against injury by aphids, which can vector the barley yellow dwarf virus, Hessian fly, and wireworm.
- Research trials were conducted in 2017 to evaluate performance of Dividend Extreme/Vibrance FST + Cruiser IST for wheat.
