Fungicide seed treatment for soybeans
Jul. 4, 2008
BASF and Monsanto Co. have signed an exclusive agreement for a new fungicide seed treatment solution for soybeans in the U.S.
The new product contains BASF's top-selling fungicide F 500®, the same active ingredient found in Headline® fungicide with its disease control and plant health benefits. The treatment, which is expected to be commercialized in conjunction with the launch of Monsanto's Roundup Ready 2 Yield™ soybean seed offering, will provide soybean farmers with early-season disease protection, which results in improved stand and extra viability.
"We're please to be partnering with BASF to deliver new seed-based technology to soybean farmers," says Carl Casale, executive vice president for Monsanto. "We feel the product will be the best seed treatment fungicide available to complement our new Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybean offering. In today's demand-driven agriculture landscape, seed treatments are a natural fit in maximizing the realizable yield from seed and traits that are so important to farmers."
Under the agreement, Monsanto wlll have the exclusive rights to commercialize the new fungicide seed treatment in soybeans. Additional details of the agreement were not disclosed.
