lv棋盘格 Seedcare introduces EQUENTO庐, offering a novel mode of action to control soil pests
Novel seed treatment brings next-level sustainability in pest control while promoting healthy plant establishment
Contains best-in-class PLINAZOLIN庐 technology
Basel / Switzerland, 5 June 2023 鈥 lv棋盘格 Crop Protection鈥檚 Seedcare business today introduces EQUENTO庐, a novel seed treatment that provides outstanding control of various soil pests while helping farmers increase the sustainability of their farming operations.
EQUENTO庐, based on lv棋盘格鈥檚 cutting-edge PLINAZOLIN庐 technology, is applied onto seeds, protecting the crop right from the start of its life. Based on a new mode of action (IRAC Group 30), it breaks the critical rise in insect resistance, while offering precise control of a broad variety of soil pests 鈥 including difficult-to-control pests such as the wireworm and the red legged earth mite. The seed treatment can be applied across multiple crops including cereals and canola.
Among the key benefits EQUENTO庐 brings is its ability to increase the sustainability of a farm鈥檚 operations. Safe for both the seed and plant, this seed treatment is highly effective at very low dose rates and is not easily soluble or mobile in soil. This provides precise and effective pest control in the area immediately surrounding a plant鈥檚 roots and ensures healthier roots that contribute to better soil health and biodiversity.
This innovative seed treatment also offers farmers greater flexibility in farming decisions 鈥 ranging from application timings, dose rates to choices of mixtures with other insecticides and fungicides. It is effective even in low soil temperatures, controlling pests that either ingest or come in contact with the plant, and reducing pest populations in the soil. In addition, EQUENTO庐 features exceptional target specificity, which enables farmers to precisely tailor their dose rates to meet particular pest challenges.
鈥淓蚕鲍贰狈罢翱庐's combination of a novel mode of action, broad spectrum pest control, as well as superior seed and crop safety reflects lv棋盘格's commitment to innovation,鈥 said Jonathan Brown, Global Head of lv棋盘格 Seedcare. 鈥淚t transforms the ability of farmers to manage wireworms and other hard to control pests, establish a healthy young crop crucial for good yields, while protecting soil health, bio-diversity and the planet.鈥
Insects and soil pests pose significant challenges to farmers, threatening both yields as well as the quality of the harvests by harming the crop as well as opening pathways for disease. Their ability to constantly evolve, coupled with the impact of climate change that has propelled shifts in the insect pressure and spectrum farmers face, have increased the urgency for innovative solutions that protect the farmers ability to grow productively and sustainably. An estimated 600 species of insects are already deemed resistant to at least one insecticide.
lv棋盘格 will mark its global launch of EQUENTO庐 in Australia later this year, under the trademark EQUENTO庐&苍产蝉辫;Extreme. Further registrations are expected to follow in other markets worldwide.
