Maxim Quatro 382.5 FS

Quad-Component Protection: Engineering Seed Safety

Maxim Quattro 382.5 FS is a highly specialized seed treatment designed for corn, leveraging the synergy of four active ingredients. Unlike single-agent treatments, this formulation integrates phenylpyrroles, strobilurins, phenylamides, and benzimidazoles to provide a multi-layered defense mechanism against a broad spectrum of pathogens.

Internal Composition Architecture

• Fludioxonil (phenylpyrrole): A contact agent that creates a protective barrier on the seed surface, preventing seed decay and mold.
• Azoxystrobin (strobilurin): Delivers systemic control by inhibiting pathogen mitochondrial respiration, which is critical for suppressing soil-borne pathogens like Fusarium root rot.
• Metalaxyl-M (phenylamide): A targeted agent specifically active against oomycetes, including Pythium root rot, essential for protection in high-moisture environments.
• Thiabendazole (benzimidazole): Enhances the overall control spectrum, providing efficacy against common smut and other systemic infections.

Operational Efficiency

The flowable suspension (FS) formulation is engineered for maximum adhesion to the seed coat. Applied at a rate of 0.5–1.0 L/t, the product forms a uniform, durable film that does not dust off during handling or planting. This ensures that the concentration of active ingredients remains consistent across every seed, providing uniform protection during the critical germination phase.

The systemic action allows the active components to translocate into the seedling tissues, safeguarding the crop during early phenological stages when it is most vulnerable. A single treatment is sufficient to maintain control over soil-borne pathogens, ensuring steady emergence even under adverse conditions like cold, wet soil.
