Get More Out of
Your Soybean Acres

Exact ROI is dependent on your field’s conditions, pest pressures and environment, but protecting emergence early helps safeguard yield potential later. The real value of soybean seed treatments comes from more consistent stands and fewer replants, helping you retain more out of your seed investment. As early planting and reduced seeding rates become more common trends, every seed planted today is more important than ever because there is less margin for error. The Syngenta Seedcare Portfolio is designed to help you get the most value out of your seed investment by delivering more plants, more canopy and more potential yield with fewer replants.

Seed treatments are valuable even in double-crop and later-planted soybeans. Seed treatments support uniform emergence when soybeans are exposed to warmer soils and threats like Phytophthora/Rhizoctonia/Red Crown Rot, established pest pressures or early-season stress. Applying a package like Victrato^® with CruiserMaxx^® APX seed treatment helps put right soybean defense in place from day one.

Seed treatments can be a good investment no matter what, but decisions on lowering seeding rates should be based on your individual field’s history, environmental conditions and yield goals. Your local agronomist or Syngenta representative can help determine if you should adjust your seeding rate, but no matter what rate you use, Syngenta seed treatments can help maximize your plant stand for more plants, more uniformity and more potential yield.

Soybean seedlings are highly sensitive during emergence and are more vulnerable to stressors. From weed pressure to harsh weather to phytotoxicity, any stress can slow soybean growth, reduce stands and delay emergence, which limits potential yield down the line. By using products with excellent crop safety like those in the Syngenta Seedcare Portfolio, growers can help protect stand establishment without sacrificing the seedlings’ plant health.

Maximizing your ROI starts with setting up your soybean for success from the start. Good agronomic practices, seed selection and planting conditions get you part of the way there, but early-season stress can still reduce yield potential. Seed treatments like the Syngenta Seedcare Portfolio help fill the gaps and help protect your investment from nematodes and disease, and reducing the need for replants – all to boost your ROI.

Yield loss is dependent on nematode species and the number of nematodes in the soil. Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) can cause up to 30% yield loss without visible aboveground symptoms, and other species like root-knot or reniform are also common soybean yield-robbers. Soil tests are the most reliable way to determine how many nematodes are present in your field. The SCN Coalition also has a profit checker to help you calculate how much yield you could be losing to nematodes.

Victrato seed treatment offers the highest level of protection available against nematodes like Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN), diseases like Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) and is the first federally labeled seed treatment management tool for Red Crown Rot (RCR). Powered by TYMIRIUM^® technology, Victrato delivers unmatched protection – even on your toughest acres. When combined with CruiserMaxx APX as the base F/I, you gain supercharged protection against early-season diseases – like Fusarium, Pythium and Phytophthora – and insects.

With unparalleled potency and precision targeting, Victrato^® seed treatment tackles soybean cyst nematode (SCN), the No. 1 threat to U.S. soybean yields. Using a three-pronged attack against eggs, juveniles and adults, Victrato offers unrivaled protection from a broad spectrum of harmful plant-parasitic nematode species. Plus, when you add CruiserMaxx^® APX seed treatment, you get the most robust protection against early-season diseases and insects for ultimate potential yield.
