NC+, Gustafson sign seed treatment deal

Article Abstract:

NC+ has signed an agreement with Gustafson LLC for the use of Gaucho and Prescribe, two seed-applied corn insecticides. The insecticides, which share the active ingredient imidacloprid, are expected to reduce labor and application costs, as well as eliminate on-farm insecticide containers. NC+ decided to use Gustafson's insecticides because it has had succes with Gaucho on grain sorghum for protection against wireworms, seed corn maggots and fire ants.

Article Abstract:

The FDA has approved Eden Bioscience' Messenger biopesticide, which uses the harpin protein technology. Messenger offers broad-spectrum control against bacteria, fungi and viruses by engaging the plant's defense systems before an actual pathogen attack occurs. The plant reacts as if a pathogen was present similar to the way a vaccine produces antibodies in humans. Plants treated with Messenger are also observed to undergo enhanced growth.
