AMVAC GreenSolutions Adds New Product to BioWake Lineup
AMVAC GreenSolutions has launched BioWake Prime to help corn growers safeguard against corn rootworm.
The newest product in the BioWake lineup, BioWake Prime is an EPA-registered bioinsecticide, with technology that offers season-long mitigation of larval feeding to protect yield, reduce the impact of lodging and improve harvestability.
“Growers are facing heavy pressure from corn rootworm – a pest that causes the most economic damage to corn production annually,” said Ted Walter, U.S. GreenSolutions marketing manager at AMVAC. “BioWake Prime is designed to complement a grower’s existing corn rootworm management strategy by priming plants with biological activity that deters and counteracts root damage caused by corn rootworm larvae.”
BioWake Prime is sold as a co-pack with BioWake for Corn, a biological seed lubricant that offers seed singulation, resilience to abiotic stress, enhanced nutrient uptake and robust root development.
The company shares BioWake Prime has shown an average yield increase of 4.5 bu. per acre, which is a 5-to-1 ROI. The product can be applied to seeds up to 180 days prior to planting.
