Benefits of Poncho® Votivo® Seed Treatment
- Immediate protection against a wide range of insects from the moment the seed is planted
- Living barrier protects against plant pathogenic nematodes
- Increased yield potential by improving root health and a more vigorous, uniform crop
How Poncho Votivo Seed Treatment Works
Poncho Votivo seed treatment employs a biological mode of action with a unique bacteria strain that lives and grows with young roots, creating a living barrier that prevents nematodes from causing damage. Poncho Votivo seed treatment works to protect the whole plant, above and below ground. It contains a systemic agent that is absorbed by roots immediately, so pests do not get the opportunity to strike.
Poncho seed treatment provides broad-spectrum insect control while the bacteria in Votivo seed treatment create a living barrier around the seed which lives and grows with the roots for at least 60 days, protecting against up to two generations of nematodes.
It delivers a 5.1 bu/A average yield advantage in corn versus Poncho 250* seed treatment in over 900 field trials conducted between 2007 and 2017 across a wide range of geographies with varying insect and nematode pressures. Trials in 2015–2017 show a win rate of over 83% over Poncho 250 seed treatment.
In 561 soybean field trials conducted between 2010 and 2016 across a wide geography, Poncho Votivo seed treatment resulted in an average yield advantage of 1.3 bu./A., when compared to Gaucho®*.
From seed germination to plant establishment, Poncho Votivo seed treatment secures a foundation for the best yields.
