Corn Seed Treatments

An Advanced Biological Seed Treatment Delivering Superior Stand Uniformity, Root Strength, and Yield Potential

Introducing  Lumidapt™ Valta LS* nutrition seed treatment, the next generation in biological seed treatment, designed to naturally support early season crop health and maximize yield potential. Backed by three years of robust field trial data, Lumidapt Valta LS has demonstrated significant improvements in stand uniformity compared to current seed treatment recipes — an essential factor in realizing higher yields.

Key benefits of Lumidapt Valta LS include:

• Improved Stand Uniformity and Quality: Achieve more consistent emergence across your fields, setting the stage for optimal yield potential.
• Enhanced Stress Tolerance:  Stronger roots and increased seedling vigor help crops better withstand seasonal stresses, from drought to temperature fluctuations.
• Biological, Sustainable Solution:  Formulated with sustainably sourced components, Lumidapt Valta LS supports both crop health and environmental stewardship.
• Efficient Nutrient Uptake: Healthy root systems, fostered by the treatment, absorb water and essential nutrients more efficiently, fueling early growth.
• Critical Micronutrients: Small, targeted amounts of boron and manganese are included to promote healthy germination and robust early development.

Shield Crop Roots From Yield-Robbing Nematodes

While their presence often is unknown, corn nematodes are present on many acres and have potential to rob corn farmers of yield. Lumialza^® nematicide seed treatment is a biological nematicide that shields plant roots from nematodes and works with beneficial soil organisms that improve water and nutrient absorption. Lumialza provides >80 days of root protection in all root zones against a wide range of nematodes, including sting, needle, lance, stubby-root, root-knot, dagger and lesion. Reduced nematode pressure means higher yield potential. Seed treated with Lumialza nematicide yielded an advantage of 3.7 bu/A under low nematode pressure, and up to 9 bu/A under heavier pressure in 2018 research trials.**

Protect Your Corn From Diseases

Our premium seed treatment package features Lumiscend™ Pro fungicide seed treatment, which offers a unique combination of three active ingredients (inpyrfluxam, ethaboxam, and metalaxl) for outstanding seed and soil-borne disease protection. Bringing multiple modes of action into the fungicide recipe protects against a full spectrum of diseases – delivering the most comprehensive disease protection package yet. Inpyrfluxam is a new Group 7 active ingredient that protects against Fusarium spp., as well as providing industry leading protection from Rhizoctonia seed- and soil-borne diseases. Across all environments, Lumiscend Pro fungicide seed treatment delivers a consistent 1 bu/A yield advantage, while in higher disease environments, the advantage jumps to 3 bu/A in multiyear trials. Ethaboxam and metalaxyl (Group 22 and 4, respectively) provide two robust modes of action against Pythium spp., including metalaxyl-resistant strains. In addition to Lumiscend Pro, the LumiGEN fungicide seed treatment package is partnered with ipconazole, (Group 3) for protection against head smut, as well as an additional mode of action against Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani and L-2012 R which is a biological fungicide adding more protection against Fusarium spp. and Rhizoctonia solani.

Protect Seedlings With Effective Insecticide Corn Seed Treatment

Lumivia^® insecticide seed treatment at a 250 rate delivers a unique mode of action against chewing insects and enhances insecticidal protection against wireworm, white grub, black cutworm, seed corn maggot, grape colaspis and fall armyworm. It is complemented by clothianidin at a 250 rate. Combined, these two modes of action provide protection against the broadest insect spectrum in the industry, delivering better plant stands and reducing runt plants.
