Maxi

Reliable start protection: field experience with the «Maxi» seed treatment

When it comes to prepping corn seeds, choosing the right fungicide is a top priority. «Maxi» by Rangoli is a prime example of where a straightforward formulation meets high field performance. Experience shows that early-season soil pathogens are the biggest threat to yield potential, often attacking before the first leaves even emerge.

Why «Maxi» is an essential tool

The product is based on fludioxonil, a phenylpyrrole. In practice, this means strong contact action: the active ingredient doesn't just wander through the plant but creates a robust protective barrier around the seed. During wet and cold springs, when germination is delayed, this barrier is a lifesaver. We’ve observed stable protection against:

• Helminthosporium root rot;
• Fusarium root rot;
• Various fungi causing seed mold.

Practical application details

The emulsion form allows the product to distribute evenly across the seed surface without creating buildup or clogging the nozzles of treatment equipment. With a dosage rate of 0.5–1.0 l/t, you get consistent coverage. It is worth noting the second hazard class, so standard PPE is a must — protect your hands and respiratory tract when filling the tanks.

In the field, «Maxi» performs predictably. When the treatment protocol is followed, uniform emergence is visible to the naked eye; the absence of gaps in the rows speaks for itself. This is an ideal solution for those who don't want to mess with overly complex systemic mixtures but want a guaranteed result against soil-borne infections in corn crops.
