Poncho/VOTiVO employs a new biological mode of action with a unique bacteria strain that lives and grows with young roots, creating a living barrier that prevents important nematode species from reaching the roots. Poncho/VOTiVO also provides control of many critical early-season insect pests. This dual protection results in improved plant vigor, which in turn results in a more uniform crop and consistently higher yields.

1. Poncho®
/VOTiVO™
seed treatment combines the most
trusted seed-applied insecticide in corn with the most
revolutionary, complete nematode protection on the
seed. The result is a powerful new seed treatment for
your corn and soybean seed that protects early-season
seedlings and roots from numerous insect and nematode
pests.
Poncho/VOTiVO employs a new biological mode of
action with a unique bacteria strain that lives and grows
with young roots, creating a living barrier that prevents
important nematode species from reaching the roots.
Poncho/VOTiVO also provides control of many critical
early-season insect pests. This dual protection results
in improved plant vigor, which in turn results in a more
uniform crop and consistently higher yields.
Poncho/VOTiVO brings immediate, consistent protection
through the critical phases of vigorous plant growth. From
seed germination to plant establishment, Poncho/VOTiVO
secures a foundation for the best yields.
PonCHo/VoTiVo aDVanTaGeS:
Corn
• Controls black cutworms, wireworms, and other
important early-season insects common in corn.
• New mode of action protects against nematode
damage from a wide range of species.
• Valuable seed is protected from the moment it
is planted.
• Maximizes early-season plant stands, uniformity,
and vigor for higher yields.
SoybeanS
• Controls early-season aphids, overwintering bean
leaf beetles, and other important early-season
insects common in soybeans.
• New mode of action protects against nematode
damage from soybean cyst nematode (SCN) and
other significant types of nematodes.
• Complements existing SCN-resistant soybean
varieties for even greater protection.
• Promotes higher yields through a healthier root
system and a more vigorous and uniform crop.
