Bayer CropScience
introduces Trilex® 2000 seed-applied fungicide for soybeans.
Trilex 2000 is a combination of two proven fungicides: Trilex
seed-applied fungicide and Allegiance® seed-applied fungicide.
These two products combine to make Trilex 2000 one easy-to-use,
low-rate product for broad-spectrum soybean seed and seedling
protection against seed-borne fungi and stand-reducing
soil-borne fungi such as Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, and Pythium.
The active ingredients of the two fungicides individually have
proven to effectively protect soybeans and other crops such as
cotton, corn, rice and peanuts against fungal pests.
Trilex 2000 combines these active ingredients in one
easy-to-use, low-rate product for broad-spectrum protection of
soybean seeds against stand-reducing soil borne fungi such as
Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Pythium, Phytophthora (through emergence)
and seed borne fungi which cause seed decay .
Trilex is locally systemic, with 88 percent of the absorbed
active ingredient locked in where it is needed most — at and
below the cotyledon.

“Trilex 2000 has been engineered to be effective as a single
product,” explains Louis Holloway, Bayer CropScience product
development manager. “But it also gives growers the flexibility
to combine Trilex 2000 with other seed treatments, such as
Gaucho® seed-applied insecticide and Yield Shield™ biological
fungicide.”
In fact, a six year series of field trials found that
seed-applied fungicide alone increased soybean yields, but the
yield bump was even more evident when it was Gaucho seed-applied
fungicide.
