Forza Zea 280 FS

Protecting Corn from the Very Start

The success of a corn crop is determined within the first few weeks after sowing. Force Zea 280 FS, developed by Syngenta Crop Protection AG, acts as a robust shield against soil-borne pests. By combining Thiamethoxam and Tefluthrin, this product offers a dual-action defense system that few standard treatments can match.

Key Advantages of the Formulation

• Systemic & Contact Power: Thiamethoxam provides systemic protection by being absorbed into the developing seedling, while Tefluthrin creates a lethal protective zone around the seed itself.
• Comprehensive Coverage: It effectively targets wireworms, false wireworms, and a broad range of early-season pests, ensuring optimal plant stand density.
• Ease of Application: The flowable suspension concentrate formulation is designed for precise seed treatment, ensuring consistent coverage without dusting issues during planting.

At a dosage rate of over 4.0 L/t, the product is engineered for high-intensity farming environments. Its ability to create a 'fumigation effect' in the soil surrounding the seed makes it particularly effective in regions or fields with high pest pressure. The manufacturing process across Syngenta’s global facilities—including sites in Switzerland, USA, Belgium, France, and Kemärk—ensures consistent quality control for every batch.

Ideal for Modern Agronomy

For growers using reduced or no-tillage systems, Force Zea 280 FS is a strategic necessity. These tillage methods often lead to higher populations of soil-dwelling pests, making a powerful seed treatment like this essential to prevent crop failure at the early vegetative stages. It is the professional's choice for securing yield potential before the crop even breaks the soil surface.
