The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has approved Bayer CropScience’s application for the registration of ILeVO, the only seed treatment that protects the root system against infections caused by the Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) fungus and has activity against dangerous nematodes in the seed zone.
“Our field trials have shown that soybean seeds treated with ILeVO early in the season give valuable yield benefit across geographies and seed varieties,” says Jennifer Riggs, Bayer SeedGrowth product development manager. “Bayer CropScience is very excited to bring the first seed treatment fungicide/nematicide solution for SDS and major nematodes to the market.”
ILeVO is available for the 2015 growing season.
