Force® CS soil-applied insecticide

The newly registered Force® CS soil-applied insecticide was announced by Syngenta Crop Protection. Force CS has been designed to deliver superior control of corn rootworms and early-season pests in an advanced, convenient liquid formulation. Soil-applied insecticides currently on the market lack the ideal combination of performance and convenience, but Force CS delivers both in a fully integrated delivery system manufactured by John Deere. Through the Central Insecticide System™, growers can more efficiently apply Force CS during corn planting. Force CS is drawn from its innovative closed packaging via direct injection and mixed with water. The solution is then delivered to the individual planter row units and applied in a T-band over the furrow so there are no recirculation or compatibility issues.

The Central Insecticide System will be available on John Deere 1790 Planters (30-inch only), 1770 NT CCS Planters with Pro-Series Row Units, and DB 80 and DB 90 CCS Planters with Pro-Series Row Units. The new system can be ordered now and will be available for the spring 2008 planting season.
