Learn about industrial seed treatment (TSI) and its benefits

Combining biotechnology and seed treatment is the best strategy to control pests, diseases and soil fungi in the early stage. That is why GENEZE Sementes pairs its varieties with industrial seed treatment.

Why use industrial seed treatment?


• It ensures uniform distribution of the products on each seed;
• It maintains seed quality in terms of vigor and germination;
• It offers more safety and convenience, reducing the risk of poisoning through less exposure to the products;
• It minimizes environmental impacts, due to the smaller amount of active ingredients per area compared to foliar applications.

• Fortenza DUO

Composition: FORTENZA®, CRUISER® and the fungicide MAXIM® Advanced.

Active ingredients: Cyantraniliprole, Thiamethoxam, Metalaxyl-M, Thiabendazole, Fludioxonil

Recommended for corn and soybeans, Fortenza Duo is an important tool to combine with biotechnologies, as it complements their suppression effect for caterpillar control and broadens the control spectrum. Cyantraniliprole is essential especially under pressure from white grubs and caterpillars (Spodoptera frugiperda, Agrotis ipsilon and Elasmopalpus lignosellus).

The Thiamethoxam in the mixture broadens the control spectrum for the green-belly stink bug and the corn leafhopper. In soybeans, it complements the control of whitefly, white grubs, cucumber beetles and the soybean stalk weevil.

• Cruiser

Composition: CRUISER® and the fungicide MAXIM® Advanced.

Active ingredients: Thiamethoxam, Metalaxyl-M, Thiabendazole, Fludioxonil

Recommended for corn, this insecticide is widely adopted in the market and is used to control the main sucking insects, such as the green-belly stink bug and the corn leafhopper, in addition to being effective against white grubs. This product also contributes to a fast crop start thanks to its bioactivating effect.
