Nufarm Introduces Saxony 100 FS, a Concentrated Azoxystrobin Seed Treatment

Jun 24, 2021

Nufarm is pleased to announce the launch of Saxony 100 FS, providing the broad-spectrum protection of azoxystrobin in a concentrated seed treatment formulation. Saxony’s proven preventive and curative activity curbs costly seed and seedling disease, including Pythium damping-off, Rhizoctonia seedling blight, Fusarium, Aspergillus and more.

Saxony offers efficacy across four fungal classes: Deuteromycetes, Oomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Basidiomycetes, and works in combination with Spirato and Sebring products for enhanced performance against Pythium species. The formulation is highly stable across a range of storage conditions, has an excellent seed safety profile, and is compatible with a wide range of seed treatment products.

“The launch of Saxony is the latest example of Nufarm’s commitment to delivering cost-effective disease protection solutions to farmers,” says Michael Burbach, customer & brand marketing manager for Nufarm. “The addition of an azoxystrobin formulation for seed treatment strengthens our already robust portfolio for corn, cotton and sunflowers.”

Saxony is available exclusively from Nufarm-authorized distributors and is available for purchase in 30 registered states with more states to follow. More information about Saxony can be found at nufarm.com/saxony-100-fs.

Video: Dr. Emerson Nafziger: Nitrogen Fertilizer Rates for Corn

The Crop Science Podcast Show, Dr. Emerson Nafziger from the University of Illinois breaks down decades of nitrogen research. From the evolution of N rate guidelines to how soil health and hybrid genetics influence nitrogen use efficiency, this conversation unpacks the science behind smarter fertilization. Improving how we set nitrogen fertilizer rates for rainfed corn is a key focus. Discover why the MRTN model matters more than ever, and how shifting mindsets and better data can boost yields and environmental outcomes. Tune in now on all major platforms!

"The nitrogen that comes from soil mineralization is the first nitrogen the plant sees, and its role is underestimated."

Meet the guest:

Dr. Emerson Nafziger is Professor Emeritus of Crop Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, with degrees in agronomy from Ohio State, Purdue, and Illinois. His research has focused on nitrogen rate strategies and crop productivity. He co-developed the Maximum Return to Nitrogen (MRTN) model, which is widely used across the Midwest. His research spans N response trials, hybrid interactions, crop rotation effects, and yield stability.
