Systiva® XS Xemium® Brand Fungicide
Systiva® XS seed treatment fungicide gives wheat growers a powerful new tool to help prevent and control troublesome soil-borne diseases. Systiva® XS seed treatment fungicide controls multiple fungal diseases, allowing for robust crop establishment and vigor, providing growers added confidence in their crop at harvest.
Benefits of Systiva® XS Xemium® Brand Fungicide
- Xemium fungicide technology is the foundation of BASF Plant Health powerhouses like Priaxor® and Nexicor® fungicides, and seed treatment brand, Systiva XS.
- Exceptional translocation and systemicity provide more consistent and continuous seedling disease control.
- Systiva XS enters the transpiration stream and travels through the plant. The plant-wide distribution, together with high activity levels, ensure protection from the first development stages.
How Systiva XS Seed Treatment Fungicide Works
Systiva XS seed treatment fungicide is powered by Xemium® fungicide, the same active ingredient used in multiple effective BASF fungicides. Xemium fungicide is a unique mode of action that provides broad spectrum, consistent control of a wide variety of soil and seed-borne diseases. This unique chemistry allows it to move around the whole plant and redistribute as the plant grows for long-lasting activity.
Systiva XS Seed Treatment Performs in the Field
In field studies across seven universities in Washington, Montana, Nebraska and Missouri, wheat treated with Systiva XS seed treatment fungicide experienced an improved yield of 4.5 bu/acre in winter wheat over base treatments.
