Spectrum Non-GMO will include AZteroid FC fungicide and Bifender FC insecticide in 2018 field trials to evaluate plant stands and yield. AZteroid FC controls damping off, seedling blight, root rots and stem rots and Bifender FC controls below-ground insects, including corn rootworm. Both products can be mixed in the tank with starter fertilizer, saving farmers money, time and worry.

Tony Zatylny, New Business Development NAFTA Region at Vive Crop Protection explains, “Our fertilizer-compatible products are a perfect fit with non-GMO production systems to ensure corn seed and seedlings get a strong start to set up a successful season. We are excited to be working with a leader in the industry and are 100% confident that Spectrum customers will see the benefits of excellent disease and insect control with no extra work or equipment required.”
