Studies have shown the value of seed applied insecticides (SAI) for protection from early season pests that reduce plant stands and lower your crop’s yield potential, like cutworms, wireworms, white grubs, seedcorn maggots, grape colaspis, flea beetles, chinch bugs and other early season pests. Protection comes from both contact and systemic activity. Studies also show economic advantages of SAI even in the absence of insect pressures. Couple this with convenience factors such as not having to mix and load insecticide hoppers during planting, not having to dispose of chemical containers and not having to use special equipment and you’ll understand why Renze delivers 100% of its corn seed pre-treated with either Cruiser 250 or Poncho 250 SAI.
