New Soybean Seed Treatment Available
BASF announces the release of Poncho Votivo Precise seed treatment to help soybean growers address nematodes, early-season crop vigor and improve yield potential.
Poncho Votivo Precise seed treatment creates a living biological barrier that grows with the root, preventing damage from a wide range of nematode species and encouraging plant growth, according to the company.
Enhanced root growth and biomass at key development stages is critical to increasing yield potential, and Poncho Votivo Precise seed treatment supports a strong start to the season, BASF says.
“Protection from nematodes is paramount to maximizing soybean growth and yield potential,” says Troy Bauer, BASF senior field technical representative, seed treatments, in a news release. “Poncho Votivo Precise seed treatment is unique in that it combines a biological and insecticide. The biological grows with the root system to protect the soybean from nematodes while the insecticide delivers immediate protection from key insect pests.”
Poncho Votivo Precise seed treatment also supports early-season plant vigor by providing strong performance against a broad spectrum of damaging insects and pests – both above and below the ground, the company reports.
The insecticidal active ingredient delivers immediate efficacy from key early-season insects including aphids, seed corn maggots, bean leaf beetle, white grubs and grape colaspis.
