ILEVO® Seed Treatment
ILEVO® seed treatment is the only proven winner in protecting against two of the biggest threats to your soybean crop: soybean cyst nematodes (SCN) and sudden death syndrome (SDS).
At least 80% of SDS acres are also impacted by SCN, and SCN alone causes more than a billion dollars in damage each year. SCN causes the most damage in hot, dry conditions, while SDS thrives in cool, wet conditions.
No matter the weather, stop SCN and SDS and optimize yield potential with the only solution that is effective against both pests. ILEVO seed treatment delivers powerful, proven performance against both SDS and SCN, year after year.
Track SCN Distribution or Presence or Levels in Your State
SCN is a widespread pest threatening soybean yield potentials across the Midwest. See the sampling results in your state.
Don’t let weather threaten up to 30 percent of your yields. Soybean cyst nematode damage increases in hot, dry conditions, while SDS thrives in cool, wet conditions. ILEVO seed treatment keeps your soybean crop protected against the unpredictability of each season.

Widespread and unseen, SCN can cause over $150,000 revenue loss over three years¹ to your soybean yields—and you’ll likely never even see the symptoms. In fact, SCN causes over $1.0 billion revenue loss annually2 to soybean yields.
¹ SCN yield loss from SCN Coalition Grower Survey, 2020. Estimated revenue loss for a 1,000 A soybean grower with commodity price of $10.00/bu.
2 2015-2021 Crop Protection Network annual SCN estimated yield loss at commodity price ($10bu).
Soybean Growers Win With ILEVO Seed Treatment
Based on 10 years of internal and external field trial data from 2011 - 2020 with comparison to fungicide/insecticide base. ILEVO applied at 0.15 mg a/seed.
Key Pests
Identifying SDS
There are many symptoms you may notice in your soybean plants that will help you identify SDS in your fields.
• Sudden Death Syndrome (caused by Fusarium virguliforme)
• Septoria Brown Spot (early season) (Septoria glycines)
• Soilborne nematodes: Lance nematodes (Hoplolaimus spp.)
• Reinform nematode (Rotylenchulus reniformis)
• Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita)
• Root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus spp.)
See ‘Labels and MSDS’ below for special or state-labeled pests.
