At Farmers Coop Society (FCS), we offer a wide range of customized soybean seed treatment solutions designed to fit your operation. Protecting soybeans early in the season and setting the crop up for a strong start is one of the most important steps toward maximizing yield and profitability.
Whether your focus is disease management, insect protection, or boosting early season vigor, our team can help you build a treatment package tailored to your fields.
Concerned About SDS or Soybean Cyst Nematode?
Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS)
Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) has become more prevalent in our area in recent years. This disease can significantly impact soybean stands and reduce overall yield potential.
One of the primary reasons SDS pressure has increased is the trend toward earlier planting. While early planting often delivers strong yield benefits, it can also increase exposure to SDS, as the disease tends to target early-planted soybeans.
A properly selected and applied seed treatment is one of the most effective tools for managing SDS risk and protecting your crop from the start.
Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN)
Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) remains the most widespread yield-limiting pest across the Corn Belt. Fields in our area have confirmed presence and varying population densities of SCN, making proactive management essential.
BASF’s ILEVO® seed treatment, when used at the proper rate, is a leading industry choice for managing both SDS and SCN, providing strong early-season protection where it matters most.
Looking to Push Early Season Growth?
Strong early-season vigor starts below the soil surface. Enhancing root development and encouraging healthy vegetative growth can set the tone for the entire growing season.
Our core treatment, Warden® CX II, delivers:
- Protection against key seedling diseases
- Insect pest protection
- Improved early-season plant vigor
For growers looking to take root development even further, adding Ascend® ST3 growth regulator treatment can enhance early root growth and plant performance, helping soybeans establish quickly and efficiently.
Additional Treatment Options
FCS also offers several high-quality seed treatment products to address specific challenges:
- Heads Up® – Designed for White Mold (SWM) suppression
- Preside® Ultra – Soybean inoculant to support nodulation and nitrogen fixation
- Phycoterra® ST – Soil health-focused biological support
These options can be incorporated into a customized package based on your field history, planting plans, and yield goals.
