Four Reasons to Use Stamina F4 and/or Insecticide: 1. Warm fall seeding temperatures increase insect pressure. 2. Hot and wet, or dry soil conditions promote seeding disease pressures. 3. Compensate for high yielding but less disease resistant wheat varieties. 4. Protection for less hardy and lower test weight seeds. The Next Generation of Wheat Seed Treatment is Here Premium Treat Stamina® F4 Cereals — Set your wheat crop up for success from the moment the seeds hit the ground with Stamina® F4 Cereals fungicide seed treatment. With 4 Modes of Action, Stamina® F4 combines Plant Health Benefits with leading, broad-spectrum disease control — even in cold conditions. Xemium® brand fungicide distributes disease protection throughout the entire seedling — above AND below ground. That gives you broad-spectrum control of disease such as Fusarium and Rhizoctonia Root Rots, Seed Decay, Pythium Damping Off, and Smut/Bunt strains. 3-5 bu. increases are common. Imidicloprid Based Insecticide — Protects wheat seedlings from soil-dwelling wireworms, early season aphid/mite and foliage chewing grasshoppers. Nutriplant Seed Treatment — Iron and Manganese produce energy for seedling emergence. Zinc, Sulfur and Copper activate proteins and enzymes for seedling growth. Magnesium and Molybdenum aid in the transport of Phosphorus. Cobalt influences resistance to stress. SEEDMAXX — A proprietary blend of macro and micro nutrients. SEEDMAXX provides supplemental plant nutrition that stimulates the soils microbe populations and improves early plant development.
