Protecting against Soybean Cyst Nematode

Because every major soybean-producing state has Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN), growers need to adopt a proactive management strategy, and Syngenta is here to help. That’s why Syngenta invests in research, innovation and developing new SCN management solutions, from genetics to seed treatments.

Saltro® Fungicide Seed Treatment

Saltro delivers upgraded Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) and robust nematode activity, without causing early-season plant stress. And this ultimately adds up to higher potential yield.

Bar chart of US trials with varying Soybean Cyst Nematode population levels. On average, Saltro delivered a 3.7 bu/A yield increase, no matter the SCN population.

US Trials with SDS Pressure. 2015-2020. Trial locations: AR, IL, IA, KS, KY, MI, MN, MO, TN, WI. Trials with significantly different disease incidence/severity rating between Check and SDS treatment.

“Saltro was a huge improvement to my Soybean Cyst Nematode campaign. Coupled with NK® 14-W6E3 genetics, I was able to get the most yield out of every acre in one of the driest years in a long time.”

-Justin G., Reseller, Holloway, MN
