Syngenta Canada announced the registration of Fortenza® (cyantraniliprole) seed treatment, a new seed-applied insecticide for early-season cutworm control that can be used in conjuction with foliar products as part of canola growers' cutworm management strategy.
 
Cutworms can be devastating to a canola crop. The pest cuts seedlings off at, or just below, the soil surface. Early-season scouting is critical to determine the presence of cutworms. Once populations exceed threshold levels, damage to the canola crop can be devastating. Early growth-stage control of cutworms is important, as plant damage increases and efficacy of foliar insecticides decreases as cutworms get bigger.
 
Cutworms tend to be nocturnal so, up until now, the most effective management solution was to spray an insecticide at night to coincide with the highest incidence of feeding. By managing cutworms early with Fortenza, a grower can minimize the need to spray and improve efficiency during a very busy time of the year.
 
“For canola growers who experience cutworm pressure and want to improve their spectrum of insect control, Fortenza is the ideal addition to their pest management regime,” stated Nathan Klages, Product Lead, Seedcare with Syngenta Canada Inc. “Fortenza with Helix Vibrance enhances crop establishment by controlling two key insect pests, flea beetles and cutworms.”
 
Fortenza contains the the active ingredient cyantraniliprole, which belongs to the bisamide chemistry group. This is a different chemistry group from those found in many seed care products. The Fortenza and Helix Vibrance combination includes four fungicides and two insecticides. So, in addition to the control of flea beetles and cutworms, this solution also controls a wide range of soil-borne diseases, including Rhizoctonia, Pythium and Fusarium.
