Insecticidal components of AERIS Seed-Applied
System- Imidacloprid

• Thrips control Imidacloprid as Gaucho Grande
  has consistently provided better thrips damage
  control and provided higher yields when compared
  to Cruiser over the last 3 years in head-to-head
  comparisons.

Gaucho Grande Seed Treatment Proven Efficacy

• Enhanced, extended protection against early
  season insects
• Thrips
• lowest thrips damage ratings
• up to 30 days of protection
• Aphids
• 30 days of protection
• Plant bugs
• average population reduction of 35
• Improved plant health

Insecticidal components of AERIS Seed-Applied
System- Thiodicarb

• Protection against insect attack on the seed
• and during the early seedling stage
• A second mode of action to assist in resistance
• management
• When combined with imidacloprid the residual
• control can also mean less early season
• insecticide sprays
