Protecting Your Seed Investment

When every seedling counts, the best way to increase return on investment is to maximize the genetic yield potential from every seedling on every acre. See how CruiserMaxx APX can help deliver:

More Plants

More Plants: A stronger and healthier emergence means a lower risk of replants. It also means you can get the most out of every seed planted, maximizing your seed investment.

More Canopy

More Canopy: Healthier seedlings thrive above and below ground, leading to more vigor, larger root mass, more leaves with greater light absorption and quicker canopy closure.

More Potential Yield

More Potential Yield: Larger, healthier, more vigorous plants above and below ground + better early-season disease and insect protection + faster canopy closure = more potential bushels and increased ROI.

Better Yields Start With Healthier Soybeans

Testimonials


“Our soybean canopy was significantly full, our CruiserMaxx APX- treated soybeans showed little signs of stress although we had long periods of droughts.”

Angela J., Grower, Memphis, MO

“2024 was an extremely challenging and wet spring. Our soils were heavily saturated most of May and June. CruiserMaxx APX worked great in preventing early-season disease, especially Pythium. For us, CruiserMaxx APX passed the test, and we will continue to use CruiserMaxx APX in the future.”

Derek P., Grower, Alden, MN
