WHAT’S NEW WITH BAYER CROPSCIENCE PRODUCTS
NEW STRESS SHIELD TECHNOLOGY FOR NEW LEVELS OF PROTECTION
T
he primary goal of seed treatments has always been disease protection, but with Raxil® PRO Shield there’s more. The new advanced formulation tops-up an already formidable disease protection package and offers exceptional plant health benefits. This ultimately provides growers with superior establishment and a stronger, higheryielding cereal crop. Raxil PRO Shield combines the power of three different fungicides offering complete contact and systemic disease protection. The newest active prothioconazole, delivers a whole new level of contact control and further increases the systemic protection of existing actives (metalaxyl and tebuconazole). This provides unparalleled protection from the most serious seed and soilborne diseases, like true loose smut, pythium, fusarium graminearum and much more. Raxil PRO Shield also possesses all the health benefits of Stress Shield®. In addition to controlling wireworms, Stress Shield contributes to the development of more advanced root systems for improved water and nutrient extraction from the soil. This in turn provides quicker emergence, healthier establishment and a stronger stand. The overall result is a superior performing plant with increased biomass and a greater ability to cope with any unforeseen seasonal stresses.

How does Stress Shield work? In times of severe stress or injury, Stress Shield provides an alternative energy source that enables the plant to complete any necessary repairs and protect itself from further injury. All this is accomplished without depleting any of the plant’s natural energy stores, allowing it to continue normal development and reach its optimum yield potential. Regardless of disease levels, this formulation has one easy-to-use rate and requires no additional products. Ideal for on-farm or commercial application, this treatment contains micro-dispersion
(MD) technology to ensure a thorough, even seed coverage. With a freezing point of -12°C, it can also be safely applied in cooler temperatures enabling growers to get a jump on the season. Newly designed packaging is fully compatible with existing equipment; simplifies the application process and provides step-by-step instructions for proper use. The results say it all.
