Syngenta has announced Victrato, a new seed treatment for use in soybeans and cotton.

The product has an active ingredient of Tymirium to protect plants against nematodes, sudden death syndrome and cotton root rot.  It can also be used for early-season suppression of foliar soybean diseases.

“Victrato will protect against adults, juveniles and eggs from multiple nematode species, including Soybean Cyst (SCN), root knot, reniform, lance and lesion,” said Dale Ireland, Syngenta Seedcare technical product lead. “The high intrinsic activity will also help defend against Fusarium virguliforme, the causal organism of SDS, while providing early-season suppression of foliar diseases, such as frogeye leaf spot, target spot and Septoria brown spot.”

The company says Victrato will not harm beneficial organisms in the soil and they expect EPA approval for the 2025 growing season.
