FastStart™ Cotton Program
FastStart™ is a collaboration between Syngenta & Cotton Seed Distributors that combines world leading cotton genetics, chemistry and technologies, resulting in strong, healthy establishment and robust growth in the early stages of a crop’s life up until flowering.
VIBRANCE® and CRUISER® are registered trademarks of a Syngenta Group Company. Syngenta Seedcare™, Syngenta Seedcare Institute™ and FastStart™ are trademarks of a Syngenta Group Company. Always read and follow label directions.
The first 40 days after planting are when your crop is most vulnerable. Soil-borne diseases, wireworms, thrips and aphids can thin a stand or force a costly replant before the plant has a chance to establish. Seed treatment is the most targeted way to manage that risk - protection is delivered right where the plant needs it, at germination and emergence.
