Fungicide Seed Treatments

VIBRANCE® CST (V)
VIBRANCE® CST is the trusted baseline fungicide seed treatment for Australian cotton growers. Containing four active ingredients – Azoxystrobin, Metalaxyl-M, Fludioxonil and Sedaxane – it delivers reliable protection against key soil-borne diseases, rhizoctonia and pythium during the critical germination and emergence period.

VIBRANCE® Complete (V2)
Upgrade to VIBRANCE® Complete for the broadest fungicide protection available for Australian cotton. This five active ingredient combination, jointly developed by Syngenta and CSD under the FastStart™ program, adds targeted activity against fusarium wilt and black root rot to rhizoctonia and pythium. Field trials show a 27% improvement in plant stands over untreated seed, with faster emergence and reduced replant risk. When disease pressure is high and establishment is everything, choose V2.
Insecticide Seed Treatments

CRUISER® 600FS (C)
CRUISER® 600FS is the industry-standard insecticide seed treatment for Australian cotton. Containing 600 g/L Thiamethoxam, this second-generation neonicotinoid delivers systemic control of sucking, chewing and soil-dwelling pests – including thrips, aphids and wireworms – from germination through to stand establishment.

CRUISER® Extreme (X)
For higher pest pressure environments, CRUISER® Extreme delivers extended, robust insect protection from planting through to stand establishment. Applied at double the rate of CRUISER® 600FS, it provides prolonged residual activity where wireworm, thrips or aphid populations are known to threaten early crop establishment. When the pressure is on, CRUISER® Extreme gives your crop the best possible start.
