Syngenta is expecting registration of Victrato®, its long-awaited seed treatment for nematode and Sudden Death Syndrome control any day now.
“We should receive registration in September and we intend to launch Victrado in 2026 after we receive registration,” said Syngenta Seedcare Technical Product Lead Dale Ireland at last week’s Farm Progress Show. “Victrato is powered by TYMIRIUM® technology and this is the 11th season that I’ve had this out in the field on soybeans and what Victrato is going to do is deliver the highest level of nematode, Sudden death syndrome, red crown rot, and early season soy foliar disease protection that’s ever been offered from a seed treatment.”
Ireland says Victrato is setting a new level of protection. “The leading competitor in the soybean SDS space, we beat it 91% of the time by nearly 5 bushels under moderate to heavy SDS. And Victrato also beats Saltoro, which is one of our products, 87% of the time by about half that amount. So about 2 1/2 bushels different.”
Victrato® seed treatment will be approved for both soybeans and cotton against nematodes and key yield-robbing diseases, like Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) and Cotton Root Rot (CRR) respectively, as well as provide early-season suppression of foliar soybean diseases.
