Poncho Beta, the new sugar beet seed treatment from Bayer CropScience, is a co-formulation of new active ingredient Clothianidin with beta-cyfluthrin.
Poncho Beta protects beet seedlings against the soil borne pest complex (mainly millipedes, symphylids and springtails), foliar pests and virus yellows to ensure establishment and maximum yield potential.
The Clothianidin component provides systemic protection against foliar pests such as aphids for up to 10 weeks after drilling and the addition of beta-cyfluthrin enhances early protection against soil borne pests.


Montur Forte, a new seed treatment product for pelleted sugar beet seed. Montur Forte controls early season soil pests such as beet leafminer, flea beetle, wireworm, pygmy mangold beetle and provides short duration (~ 6 weeks) control of aphids. Montur Forte protects young germinating seedlings, thereby ensuring emergence and crop establishment.
