CRUISER FORS MAIS 280 FS

Synergy of components: how Cruiser Force Maize 280 FS works

A successful corn start critically depends on protecting the root system during the first weeks of vegetation. The insecticidal seed treatment Cruiser Force Maize 280 FS is a combined solution incorporating two powerful active ingredients: systemic thiamethoxam and contact tefluthrin. This combination covers almost the entire spectrum of soil and early foliar pests, creating a "safety zone" around the seed.

Technical composition breakdown

• Thiamethoxam: a systemic neonicotinoid that is quickly absorbed by the sprout and evenly distributed throughout the plant. It provides long-lasting protection against pests damaging the aerial parts (flea beetles, frit fly) and the root system.
• Tefluthrin: a pyrethroid with high fumigant activity in the soil. By forming a protective barrier around the seed, it keeps soil pests (wireworms, false wireworms, darkling beetles) away before they even touch the plant. Its volatility allows it to control pests in the immediate vicinity of the seed, where other contact products might fail.

Practical application aspects

The product comes in the form of a flowable suspension concentrate, ensuring perfect seed coverage without flaking during mechanical sowing. The application rate varies from 0.6 to 1.5 L/t, allowing agronomists to flexibly adjust protection based on the projected soil pest background. With a toxicity class of 3, the product is convenient to handle when following basic safety protocols.

The product's manufacturing is localized at SYNGENTA Crop Protection AG facilities (Switzerland, USA, Belgium, France, etc.), ensuring the highest formulation standards. Using the original product ensures uniform germination and the development of a powerful root system, which is key to realizing the potential of any corn hybrid.
