PowerCore Ultra: corn hybrids with this biotechnology have four insecticidal proteins that provide protection against susceptible populations of the main caterpillars that attack the crop, in addition to two proteins with tolerance to the herbicides glyphosate and glufosinate ammonium. Due to the presence of the insecticidal proteins Cry1F, Cry1A.105, Cry2Ab2 and Vip3Aa20, PowerCoreTM Ultra corn seeds help protect against: Fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda), Stem borer (Diatraea saccharalis), Armyworm earworm (Helicoverpa sp.), elastic caterpillar (Elasmopalpus lignosellus), threadworm (Agrotis ipsilon), black leaf caterpillar (Spodoptera cosmioides), armyworm (Helicoverpa armigera) and pod caterpillar ( Spodoptera eridania). The technology is offered to producers through the Pioneer and Brevant Sementes portfolios.

Crop protection

Viovan: composed of the combination of active ingredients Onmira active and Protioconazole, it has an innovative formulation that eliminates the use of oil, increasing the speed of absorption of the active ingredients and reducing the risk of washing off by rain. The fungicide provides superior control against Asian rust, in addition to diseases such as target spot, brown spot, cercospora and powdery mildew, promotes protection with greater selectivity for the crop and offers visibly better results.

Approach Power: Systemic fungicide that contains Onmira active and Ciproconazole, offers flexibility to be used in the first and last application. Indicated for the control of Asian rust, brown spot, cercospora and powdery mildew, the product is an evolution of the Aproach Prima fungicide, which farmers already know and trust, now with an even more innovative formulation, which does not require the addition of oil, to greater convenience in effective and lasting disease control.
