Syngenta Seed Care announced that the first seed treatment
insecticide for small-seeded vegetables has been approved by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for use on leafy
vegetables. This superior new tool offers unparalleled
protection against early-season sucking and chewing insects and
will be available as a component of the FarMore® Technology
platform.
The insecticide component of FarMore Technology, also available
for use on cucurbit vegetables, delivers targeted protection
against early-season insects including aphids, flea beetles,
whiteflies (suppression) and leafminers in head, romaine and
leaf lettuce only. In addition to exceptional insect protection,
the FarMore Technology platform offers broad-spectrum, systemic
and post-emergence disease protection against Fusarium, Pythium
and Rhizoctonia. This enhanced insect and disease protection
gets crops off to a healthy start and improves plant vigor which
leads to more advanced crop development and superior
performance, helping boost yield and quality.
