Cruz 350

Systemic protection for fodder beet crops

«Cruz 350» by «AgroMaxi» is a specialized seed treatment agent designed to protect planting material at the most critical stage of crop development. In Ukrainian agricultural technologies, this product has firmly secured its niche in seed-based insecticidal protection, specifically targeting beet fields. The core of its effectiveness is clothianidin, a second-generation neonicotinoid, which provides prolonged protection for seedlings against soil-dwelling and early post-emergence pests.

How the product works

The preparation possesses combined systemic and contact action. The emulsion for seed treatment coats the seed, creating a protective barrier that is «activated» upon germination. The active substance is rapidly absorbed by the root system, spreading throughout the young plant. This makes it impossible for insects to feed on seedling tissues, preventing damage during the early, most vulnerable growth phases.

• Target pests: wireworms, beet flea beetles, weevils.
• Dosage: 0.5–1.0 L/t of seeds.
• Application: single treatment before sowing.

The choice of «Cruz 350» is driven by its reliability in combating pests capable of destroying up to 30-50% of fodder beet crops even before the second pair of true leaves emerges. Given the product's hazard class 3, strict adherence to personal protective equipment protocols is required during application.

The position of «Cruz 350» in modern agronomy

Ukrainian farmers prefer this seed treatment for its predictability. In conditions of an unstable spring, when temperature regimes may stunt crop growth, the systemic effect of clothianidin continues to function, creating a «shield» around the sprout. This solution from «AgroMaxi» effectively combines with fungicidal seed treatments in tank mixes, allowing for comprehensive protection of planting material in a single operation before heading to the field.
