Aphix

Elite sugarcane aphid tolerance, that protects grain and forage sorghum crops anywhere aphids strike.

Aphix trait gives the sorghum crop high and measurable tolerance to the attack of the sugarcane aphid. The USDA standards have defined the Aphix labeled trait as delivering a superior performance and the highest level of aphid tolerance. Aphix sorghum hybrids have a superior rate of aphid management compared to non-aphix hybrids.

Reduces insecticide applications

compared to susceptible hybrids. In a season with favorable environmental conditions, where the sugarcane aphid pressure is high, a single preventive insecticide spraying is enough to keep the crops free of aphids, while in a non-APHIX crop an average of 3 to 4 sprayings might be necessary.

Reduces colonization

Aphix reduces reproduction of SCA and therefore lowers the infestation levels of sorghum aphids. Being able to control the outbreak of sugarcane aphids, while additionally protecting and promoting the growth of sorghum crops.

It works

as an outstanding alternative to chemical insecticides, it allows for less applications and greater preservation of the environment. Growers get larger returns on their investment, while minimizing aphid related losses.

igrowth

Effective weed control in grain and forage sorghum crops

Igrowth technology provides to sorghum plants tolerance to herbicides from the imidazolinone family. The igrowth®/IMIFLEX™ Sorghum Production System is the hybrid + registered herbicide and approved combination. The Igrowth technology was developed by Advanta Seeds in Argentina, using mutagenesis methods, which is a non-transgenic technology, that is, it has not been genetically modified. It is the first non-GMO herbicide-tolerant sorghum system in the United States.

Herbicide tolerant

spray of IMIFLEX™ herbicide from UPL in PRE or POST emergence, the only herbicide EPA-registered for use on sorghum hybrids. Delivering the highest-quality formulation, product availability and performance.

Reduces weed competition
