Living barrier protects against plant pathogenic nematodes
Increased yield potential by improving root health and a more vigorous, uniform crop

How Poncho Votivo from BASF Works

Above and Below Ground Protection

Poncho^® is a systemic corn insecticide treatment that quickly absorbs into the new root, providing early-season protection. Votivo^® is a unique bacteria strain that creates a living barrier, preventing multiple generations of nematodes from causing damage.

Increased Plant Vitality

Poncho maximizes stands, uniformity, and vigor, while Votivo promotes healthier root development and plant growth.

Proven, Reliable Performance

In over 900 field trials across a range of geographies, insect and nematode pressures, Poncho Votivo corn seed treatment delivered an average yield increase of 5.1 bu/A over Poncho® 250.*

^{*Field trials conducted between 2007 and 2017. Poncho 250 is the 0.25 mg aI/seed rate of Poncho 600.}
