A CruiserMaxx® Beans brand is an insecticide and fungicide seed treatment combination that provides soybean growers with first-class protection against harmful insects and diseases that negatively affect crop quality and yield. The first commercial insecticide/fungicide seed treatment combination on the market for soybeans, CruiserMaxx Beans protects seeds and seedlings against a wide range of yield-threatening insects and diseases to help increase stand and vigor, promote earlier canopy closure and improve yield potential.

Supplying protection from the moment the seed is planted, CruiserMaxx Beans provides a larger window of time to scout for insect infestations, and reduces the threat of damage from insect populations already present in the field and from insects that move into the field from adjacent fields or areas. CruiserMaxx Beans may also decrease the spread of insect-transmitted viruses by reducing the level and duration of insect feeding. Maximum soybean yields are often achieved with a combination of a CruiserMaxx Beans seed treatment and a foliar application of Warrior II with Zeon Technology® insecticide later in the season.

CruiserMaxx Plus insecticide/fungicide seed treatment is the newest formulation in the CruiserMaxx Beans brand family. It combines all the advantages of CruiserMaxx insecticide/fungicide, plus a higher rate of mefenoxam (Apron XL® fungicide) to provide increased protection against Pythium and Phytophthora in one convenient formulation.
