Syngenta Canada Inc. has received registration for Cruiser Maxx® D Potato, a new, liquid potato seed piece treatment for use in Canada. Cruiser Maxx D Potato helps growers get their crop off to a strong start by protecting vulnerable seed pieces against yield and quality-robbing diseases and insects.

"Syngenta continues to advance its seed care technology for potato growers. With Cruiser Maxx D Potato, growers benefit from an enhanced liquid seed care formulation, offering excellent coverage for disease and insect control,” says Mitch Reid, Seed Care Asset Lead, Syngenta Canada. “Additionally, because this seed treatment incorporates multiple modes of action, managing Fusarium resistance is made easier and more effective.”

Cruiser Maxx D Potato combines the active ingredients fludioxonil (Group 12), difenoconazole (Group 3), as well as thiamethoxam (Group 4), in a liquid formulation, that provides one complete package for control of several diseases and insects that are devastating to potato plants. The combination of the active ingredients, difenoconazole and fludioxonil, provides two modes of action against silver scurf and Fusarium, controlling known resistant strains of these diseases. Cruiser Maxx D Potato is also effective against seed-borne Rhizoctonia (black scurf and stem and stolon canker). With the inclusion of the active ingredient thiamethoxam, Cruiser Maxx D Potato also provides effective, long-lasting control of Colorado potato beetles, aphids (including green peach, buckthorn and foxglove aphids) and potato leafhoppers.

Cruiser Maxx D Potato is a colourless seed treatment. This ensures that there is no risk of colourant transferring from the mother to the daughter tubers, as well as making the cleaning of equipment and sheds even easier. Syngenta recommends using an enclosed treater, such as the Milestone liquid seed treater, to apply Syngenta-brand liquid seed treatments. This application equipment provides a contained environment for treating seed pieces while delivering excellent coverage.

Cruiser Maxx D Potato will be widely available for the 2013 season.
