Exploring AMVAC's Innovative Crop Solutions

The contents of this blog are derived from my interview with Wen Carter-Marketing Manager, AMVAC

AMVAC, a leader in agricultural technology, offers a range of innovative solutions designed to optimize crop protection and boost yields. In a recent conversation with Wen Carter, marketing manager for AMVAC, we delved into some of the products that are part of AMVAC's expanding green solutions platform.

Bio-Wake Prime: Harnessing Nature for Crop Protection

Bio-Wake Prime is a bioinsecticide that forms a key component of AMVAC's green solutions platform. This product activates the corn's natural defense mechanisms, effectively repelling the corn rootworm. Not only does it protect the plant, but it also stimulates regrowth if any root feeding occurs. By colonizing the corn roots, Bio-Wake Prime provides seasonal protection, making it an essential part of AMVAC's integrated pest management programs.

Index: Dual-Action Protection for Corn

Index is another innovative product from AMVAC, designed specifically for corn. This liquid corn rootworm product offers dual-mode action, controlling both corn rootworm and other seedling-attacking pests. With a convenient, easy-to-use liquid formulation, Index has proven to outperform its competitors by up to 15 bushels per acre, according to 2023 data. For farmers looking to maximize yield and reduce corn rootworm feeding, Index stands out as a highly effective option.

Zalo: The Future of Soybean Herbicides

As the agricultural landscape evolves, AMVAC is at the forefront with Zalo, a promising alternative to dicamba. Set to make waves in 2025, Zalo is a soybean herbicide available in glufosinate and quizalofop formulations. Given the impending restrictions on dicamba use, Zalo provides a viable solution for growers. It offers enhanced control over grasses, outperforming glufosinate alone. For those seeking an effective herbicide in the absence of dicamba, Zalo emerges as an excellent choice.
