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.
