Superior insecticide seed treatment – at a lower price

Posted by Col Hibbard on 2010-11-07

The best insecticide cotton seed treatment just got cheaper.

 insecticide treatment is now available at a comparable price to other  seed treatments. eChem, manufacturers of Genero 600FS, has drastically reduced prices for the 2010 planting season to allow growers access to the best seed treatment at an affordable cost.

Genero 600FS contains 600g/L imidacloprid and gives cotton seedlings tried and tested protection against thrips, aphids, brown beetles and wireworms.

Col Hibbard, General Manager of eChem, suggests that growers have a close look at the CSD seed treatment price list this year before making their product selections.

“We have been able to bring the price down because eChem is an Australian-owned,  grower controlled company and lower prices are one of the reasons for our existence,” says Col. “Like any company, we have to make a profit. But we also aim to supply products at the lowest possible price, and that’s what we have done with Genero 600FS this year.”

Independent research trials have shown that Genero 600FS has equal performance when compared with other 600g/L imidacloprid products. It has also been tested for crop safety at more than four times the current use rate and undergoes rigorous product quality assurance testing.

“The benefits of imidacloprid cotton seed dressing have been shown time and again in field trials,” says Col. “The price differential has been a stumbling block, but this has now been largely removed for this season.”
