Cruiser 350 FS

Start without risks: Why Cruiser 350 FS is the industry standard

When it comes to crop establishment, skimping on seed treatments often leads to yield gaps during the seedling stage. Syngenta's "Cruiser 350 FS" is not just an insecticidal seed treatment; it is a "body armor" for the seed. Based on thiamethoxam, a systemic neonicotinoid, it protects the plant even before it breaks through the soil crust.

Strengths: Systemic Action and Growth Energy

The main difference between Cruiser and most analogues is the Vigor™ effect. Beyond directly eliminating pests like wireworms, false wireworms, darkling beetles, weevils, and flea beetles, the product positively impacts plant physiology. Treated seeds show more uniform emergence and a well-developed root system even under stress (cold, drought), which is critical for sunflowers, oilseed rape, and sugar beets.

Who is this product for?

It is optimal for agribusinesses working with crops most vulnerable to soil-borne pests: barley, wheat, flax, sorghum, and potatoes. If your goal is to avoid reseeding due to pest-damaged sprouts, the product's hazard class 3 allows for treatment using standard safety protocols without the need for specialized protective equipment.

Application Insights

• Systemic action: The product is absorbed by the sprout and distributed as it grows, protecting both the root and the aerial parts.
• Dosage flexibility: Application rates range from 0.5 to over 4.0 L/t depending on the crop and pest pressure intensity.
• One-pass application: Maximum concentration of the active substance is contained within a single procedure, eliminating the need for further intervention.

Despite its high efficiency, remember that thiamethoxam is a potent tool. To achieve maximum results, seeds must be thoroughly cleaned of dust so that the treatment film is applied evenly. This is the "gold standard" for those who plan their harvest from the moment the seed stock is prepared.
