                          Benefits

                          How does CruiserMaxx Vibrance Elite help manage early-season diseases and insect pests?

                          It includes two modes of action on three of the most damaging early-season diseases in cereals – Fusarium, Pythium and Rhizoctonia – helping ensure protection even from resistant-prone isolates that are not controlled by metalaxyl or mefenoxam.

                          It has been meticulously formulated for use as a convenient seed treatment premix and rigorously tested to help ensure uniform coverage of the seed with minimal dust-off or residue left in the planter.

                          It delivers reliable protection from early-season insects, including Hessian fly and aphids.

                          It provides both the proven Cruiser Vigor Effect and boosted Rooting Power for faster, more uniform emergence, stronger plants and roots, and quicker speed-to-canopy.
