Avicta Complete Corn, a combination of Avicta seed treatment nematicide, Cruiser® seed treatment insecticide and Apron XL®, Maxim® XL and Dynasty® seed treatment fungicides, helps guard against damage from early-season pests that can inhibit emergence, plant stand, plant health and ultimately yield potential. Avicta Complete Corn provides immediate protection against all major nematodes causing yield loss on corn. The insecticide component in Avicta Complete Corn is an increased rate of Cruiser (0.50 mg ai/seed), a systemic seed treatment insecticide, which offers better activity and longer residual for more consistent early-season protection against a broad spectrum of troublesome insect pests including wireworm, chinch bug, seedcorn maggot, southern corn leaf beetle and corn flea beetle.
