The Cornelius Seed is buzzing with excitement as we roll out enhancements for your upcoming planting season. Committed to delivering top-tier seed solutions that boost your bottom line, we're proud to introduce Victrato® as a fresh option in our soybean treatments.
Straight from our Soybean Lead, Will Cornelius's update: "We are happy to announce that we are adding an additional soybean treatment option for 2026. Victrato is a replacement for Saltro as it improves the SDS protection as well as adds suppression of: Nematodes, Red Crown Rot, Septoria Brown Spot, Target Spot and Frogeye Leaf Spot. We will offer both PG+ (Saltro) and PGV (Victrato) for the 2026 season."
This addition is all about giving you more tools to tackle tough field conditions and push for peak performance. Here's the scoop on why Victrato is a standout.
Unpacking Victrato: Advanced Defense for Your Soybeans
Brought to you by Syngenta and driven by innovative TYMIRIUM® tech, Victrato serves as a powerhouse nematicide and fungicide tailored for soybeans. Its core component, cyclobutrifluram, packs a punch against threats starting at the seed stage. The standout "Smart-Site Targeting" hones in on harmful nematodes and fungi with laser-like accuracy, delivering knockout protection while sparing helpful soil life such as microbes and worms. The result? Robust roots, solid starts, and elevated yields on even the most demanding ground.
Victrato launches a multi-stage assault on nematodes—including Soybean Cyst (SCN), Root Knot, Reniform, Lance, and Lesion—hitting adults, juveniles, and eggs alike. It's also pioneering as the first seed treatment federally approved for Red Crown Rot (RCR) control, and it ramps up defense against Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) from Fusarium virguliforme.
And it goes beyond the soil: Victrato curbs early foliar issues like Frogeye Leaf Spot (Cercospora sojina), Target Spot (Corynespora cassiicola), and Septoria Brown Spot (Septoria glycines). With superior uptake and lasting staying power, it travels through the plant to safeguard growth from the ground up.
The Cornelius Edge: Tailored for Your Success
We're constantly fine-tuning our lineup to match your real-world needs, and Victrato slots in seamlessly. It elevates our PG+ (Saltro) base by bolstering SDS resistance and layering in nematode and foliar safeguards. Choose PG+ or step up to PGV in 2026.
Facing nematode pressures or aiming for pristine stands? Victrato empowers you to plant with confidence and harvest bigger rewards.
