Seed Treatments
At Kauffman Seeds, we understand that every seed represents the potential for a successful harvest. That’s why we offer a range of advanced seed treatment solutions designed to safeguard your crops from the challenges of early-season pests, diseases, and environmental stresses. Whether you’re planting soybeans, corn, wheat, or other crops, our solutions provide the protection your seeds need to thrive.
Corn
CruiserMaxx® Vibrance®
CruiserMaxx® Vibrance® Corn, a combination of separately registered products, is an insecticide/fungicide seed treatment that offers superior insect and disease protection with enhanced root health.
Vayantis®
Pythium poses a huge threat for corn growers, causing more damage than Fusarium and Rhizoctonia seedling diseases combined. With more than 50 known Pythium species in the U.S., it can be unpredictable, as environmental conditions drive which species are troublesome in any given year. You can’t prevent Pythium, but you can plan for it. Vayantis® fungicide seed treatment protects corn seedlings from Pythium, allowing your genetics to shine.
Soybeans
CruiserMaxx APX®
CruiserMaxx® Vibrance® has earned the reputation for being the best seed treatment to protect soybeans against early-season disease and insects. Now, with the addition of the most powerful Pythium and Phytophthora-fighting molecule, picarbutrazox (PCBX), soybean growers can experience unmatched early-season protection, more vigor, better plant stands, faster canopy closure and maximum ROI potential with CruiserMaxx APX seed treatment.
Saltro®
When it comes to SDS protection, you now have the power to choose a better solution. With Saltro® fungicide seed treatment, you have access to more powerful protection against SDS (Fusarium virguliforme) and nematodes than previous options. And beyond better performance, it works without the plant stress.
Exceed® SAR for Soybeans
In replicated Midwest trials, Exceed® SAR demonstrated an average yield increase of 3.8 bushels per acre over non-inoculated controls. By disrupting the life cycle of J1 and J2 soybean cyst nematodes, it reduces their impact on young soybean plants. Additionally, Exceed® SAR promotes rapid seed germination and stimulates plant hormones critical for root formation and development, supporting healthier, more vigorous growth.
Exceed® STIC
Created to increase seed adhesion, thus improving nodulation and performance in the field
Exceed® Granulated Peat
Designed for virgin soils, high pH environments, and areas with limited rainfall or irrigation, this product is applied directly into the seed trench furrow. Its specialized formulation ensures smooth, consistent flow through application equipment, providing reliable coverage and performance.
Exceed® Traditional Liquid
Excellent choice for superior inoculation. Boasts one of the highest bacteria counts in the industry to maximize soybean yields. Can be used for organic production.
Exceed® Peat
