Syngenta Canada Inc. is releasing Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Potato, a new fungicide and insecticide for potato seed treatment, a Nov. 7 news release said. It offers protection against a broad spectrum of yield-inhibiting pests.
“Each spring, growers receive potato seed knowing they’ll need to prioritize any diseases or issues they’re presented with,” Justin Bouvier, product lead for seedcare with Syngenta Canada, said in the release. “Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Potato gives growers the assurance they’re receiving the most robust disease control in an early season insect management product.”
It has two modes of action against the key seed-borne diseases, including Fusarium, silver scurf, and Rhizoctonia (black scurf). The release noted with Vibrance, growers will see Rhizoctonia control as well as Rooting Power for healthier, stronger roots to help with stand establishment.
“The convenient, all-in-one formulation offers growers a way to simplify the seed treating process during one of the busiest times on the farm with an easy-to-handle pre-mix formulation,” Bouvier said.
Cruiser Maxx Vibrance Potato contains Thiamethoxam, a Group 4 insecticide, that offers protection against early-season insect pests such as Colorado potato beetles, aphids, and potato leafhoppers, the release said.
It will be sold as a pre-mix formulation with no tank mixing required, the release noted. It will be available for the 2024 growing season in a case of four 3.785 L jugs co-packed with a vibrant blue liquid colourant for better line of sight on application coverage.
