SEED PROTECTION
AND TREATMENT

View seed treatment choices by crop.

POTENTIAL + PROTECTION

Your seed starts with incredible yield potential. For every seed you put in the ground, add the protection it needs to fulfill its genetic potential in the field.

We know choosing the right seed to plant only gets you halfway there—you also need to evaluate your choices for protecting your crop after it emerges. At LG Seeds, we have more than a unique genetic seed portfolio. We offer a premium mix of the industry’s latest and most effective seed treatment choices to help protect what you put in the ground each season.

Seed Protection From soil-borne diseases, damaging insects, harmful nematodes and nutritional deficiencies—keep them at bay with seed treatments to maximize yields.

Reinforce your Pythium protection with Vayantis

Vayantis® fungicide seed treatment, a novel mode of action (MOA) with no cross resistance to existing Pythium chemistries, is the most powerful compound ever developed to protect corn seedlings from Pythium, allowing LG Seeds’ genetics to shine.

• Substantially better protection than older technologies, with a highly-effective MOA to combat all known U.S. Pythium species

• Increased seed germination, emergence and improved plant stand across variable soil types and environmental conditions

• Long-lasting activity for efficient seedling protection

• Outstanding seed safety and compatibility with other products

YOU CAN’T PREVENT PYTHIUM, BUT YOU CAN PLAN FOR IT.

Pythium poses a huge threat for corn growers, causing more damage than Fusarium and Rhizoctonia seedling diseases combined. More than 50 known Pythium species commonly infect U.S. soil, and the problem is fueled by growing trends such as planting earlier into cool wet soil, reduced and no-till situations and increased use of cover crops.

Vayantis® is in all LG Seed 2022 Acceleron® or AgriShield® treated corn products

Over 100 Million Bushels of Corn

Estimated annual corn loss in the U.S. and Ontario,1 from root rots and seedling blights, even with currently available tools and methods.

Vayantis® provides the added security of knowing your corn hybrid genetics are protected, and that means better returns and more yield potential, acre after acre.
