Cruiser® is a systemic insecticide which belongs to a subclass of neonicotinoids. With an excellent seed safety margin, Cruiser protects plants from a broad spectrum of seed, soil and foliar chewing and sucking insects to help get crops off to a healthy, vigorous start. Studies show that seed treated with Cruiser results in improved plant stand, vigor and yield. Commercially applied by seed companies at low use rates, Cruiser offers a convenient way to replace planter box, in-furrow and foliar insecticide applications for early-season insects.

The Thiamethoxam Vigor™ Effect

More than 10 years of research has led scientists to the discovery of why thiamethoxam, the active ingredient in Cruiser seed treatment insecticide, offers growers significantly more robust and vigorous plants. Typically known for offering growers effective insect protection on a variety of crops around the world, thiamethoxam also is scientifically linked to increased vigor that is evidenced by faster emergence, greater plant stands, earlier canopy, increased root mass and higher yield potential even in situations where there is no visible pest attack. This Thiamethoxam Vigor™ effect is patented in the United States and in 18 other countries. Additional patents are being pursued. For more information, click here.
