Bayer CropScience U.S. introduces Trilex, seed-applied fungicide for soybeans that protects against stand-reducing diseases
Agronomy | April 23, 2008

Trilex 2000 is a combination of two proven fungicides: Trilex seed-applied fungicide and Allegiance® seed-applied fungicide.

These two products combine to make Trilex 2000 one easy-to-use, low-rate product for broad-spectrum soybean seed and seedling protection against seed-borne fungi and stand-reducing soil-borne fungi such as Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, and Pythium.

The active ingredients of the two fungicides individually have proven to effectively protect soybeans and other crops such as cotton, corn, rice and peanuts against fungal pests.

Trilex 2000 combines these active ingredients in one easy-to-use, low-rate product for broad-spectrum protection of soybean seeds against stand-reducing soil borne fungi such as Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Pythium, Phytophthora (through emergence) and seed borne fungi which cause seed decay .

Trilex is locally systemic, with 88 percent of the absorbed active ingredient locked in where it is needed most — at and below the cotyledon.

“Trilex 2000 has been engineered to be effective as a single product,” explains Louis Holloway, Bayer CropScience product development manager. “But it also gives growers the flexibility to combine Trilex 2000 with other seed treatments, such as Gaucho® seed-applied insecticide and Yield Shield™ biological fungicide.”

In fact, a six year series of field trials found that seed-applied fungicide alone increased soybean yields, but the yield bump was even more evident when it was Gaucho seed-applied fungicide.
