Wireworms have been wreaking havoc on cereal fields for years. Wireworms can overwinter in the soil for up to seven years and move up or down in the soil profile in response to environmental conditions resulting in significant challenges from season to season.
Farmers with wireworms can face a loss of more than 50% of seedlings — and the survivors may be stunted, which can further reduce yield. Other seed treatment products temporarily intoxicate wireworms that allow for pests to potentially return season after season.
Enter Teraxxa F4, a seed treatment created by BASF. Teraxxa F4 eliminates wireworms and reduces wireworm populations by breaking up their reproductive cycle in cereal crops.
Teraxxa F4 contains Broflanilide, the first IRAC group 30 active ingredient available in Canada. Its unique mode of action directly impacts wireworms’ central nervous system resulting in wireworms being eliminated upon contact, providing true control.
