Syngenta video explores the rooting power benefits of Vibrance® brand seed treatments across crops

MINNETONKA, Minn. USA, December 1, 2015  – Syngenta recently released a new video, “Dig Deeper: Getting down to the roots with Vibrance® seed treatment fungicide,” which takes viewers underground for an in-depth look at the rooting power benefits of Vibrance in corn, soybeans and wheat. The video combines animated illustrations and live footage.

Available on the Vibrance product page on the Syngenta U.S. web site, this video features the U.S. Seedcare technical product team: Bruce Battles, Seedcare Technology Manager, and Technical Product Leads Scott Martin, David Belles and Dale Ireland.

The video demonstrates the damage caused by Rhizoctonia and the importance of protecting young seedlings from this yield-robbing disease. Vibrance brand seed treatments shield the developing plant from Rhizoctonia infection and help increase plant stand and vigor during the critical early stages of growth when yield potential is determined.

Shorter, crop-specific videos for corn, soybeans and wheat are housed on Syngenta U.S. YouTube page.

Syngenta offers Vibrance across multiple crops and in combination with other leading seed treatments to help ensure growers achieve maximum return on investment. In addition to corn, wheat, soybeans and several other crops, Vibrance recently received registration for use on sugarbeets and cotton for the 2016 growing season.

For more information about Vibrance or to check local availability, growers can contact their Syngenta representative or co-op agronomist. Join the conversation online – connect with us at social.SyngentaUS.com.
