Straxan fungicide seed treatment, a seed and soil-borne cereal disease treatment, has commercially launched in Canada, an Oct. 4 news release from Corteva said.
Straxan provides advanced protection against early season diseases such as Fusarium species, Rhizoctonia, true loose smut and more. It helps maximize crop stand establishment and yield potential, the release said.
“Protecting yield potential from persistent diseases will always be a priority for cereal farmers, which is why it was important for us to bring a complete and versatile option like Straxan fungicide seed treatment to the Western Canadian market,” Kirsten Ratzlaff, portfolio manager for seed applied technologies and biologicals at Corteva Agriscience, said in the release. “In addition to its strong disease protection, Straxan offers an easy-to-apply formulation that provides flexibility – both through commercial seed treaters and on-farm equipment – and stable application under varying conditions and temperatures.”
