New Seed Treatment Poster for Corn and Soybean
With an increase in the number of seed treatments registered for corn and soybean in Wisconsin, it can be a bit daunting to understand what the different products are, and what pest they are targeting or if they are marketed to improve seedling health. Richard Proost and I recently finished a new poster entitled, "What is on your seed" to help take some of the confusion about seed treatments away. This poster provides a current list of seed treatments that are registered in Wisconsin. Products are listed by the number of active ingredients, treatment type, and then alphabetically by product trade name. The list is not provided based on efficacy data nor is an endorsement or criticism of one product over another, rather the list is meant as a general guide. As always, consult current label directions for using any pesticide.
