Innovation Showcase 2021 Finalist – Agronomics

The Winner of the Agronomics Category of the Innovation Showcase is Bayer CropSciences with their innovation the powerful seed treatment BUTEO start!

New BUTEO start is a powerful seed treatment that provides immediate and effective protection from striped and crucifer flea beetles, giving your canola outstanding resilience in the crucial early stages. Start your season strong with BUTEO start. Flea beetles can do a lot of harm in a short period of time, and seedlings are especially vulnerable. This pest can locate and defoliate seedlings shortly after emergence, which makes them very difficult to control. The results of an infestation are poor plant stands, delayed maturity, reduced yields and in severe cases, re-seeding may be required. BUTEO start provides immediate and effective protection from flea beetles, giving canola outstanding resilience from cotyledon to 3-leaf stage. Its Group 4D insecticide (flupyradifurone) delivers rapid uptake and systemic translocation from cotyledon to leaf margins, encouraging stronger plant stands – even in dry conditions and areas of high flea beetle pressure.
