Fortenza 600 FS

Setting a new standard for seed protection

Swiss precision meets field-scale efficacy with "Fortenza 600 FS," a flagship seed treatment developed by Syngenta. Designed to combat the most persistent threats to young crops, this insecticide leverages the power of cyantraniliprole to protect the future harvest of sunflower and corn. Unlike basic seed treatments, Fortenza 600 FS acts systematically, creating a robust shield for the developing plant right when it is most vulnerable to soil-dwelling pests.

Targeted systemic control

The core philosophy behind this product is to prevent damage before it occurs. By treating seeds with Fortenza 600 FS, growers ensure that as the seed germinates, the active ingredient is absorbed into the plant tissues. This makes the young shoots unpalatable and toxic to pests such as wireworms and the frit fly. This systematic approach is the gold standard for maintaining optimal plant density in fields with historically high pest pressure.
