Raxil PRO SHIELD

Raxil® PRO SHIELD seed treatment provides all the same early-season establishment and disease protection benefits of the number one selling cereal seed treatment brand1 Raxil® PRO, and gives you the added power of Stress Shield® to protect against wireworms and unforeseen seasonal stresses. Stress Shield helps curtail the negative effects of stressors such as pests, drought, heat or others by supplying a supplemental energy pool for plants to perform internal repairs and initiate other coping systems. Raxil PRO SHIELD is available in a convenient co-formulated package for ease of use, reduced dust-off and consistent performance and is now available in both jugs and an industry-leading bottom-drain drum.

Product Highlights

  • Brings the trusted performance of the #1 selling cereal seed treatment brand in Western Canada1 in an easy to use, all-in-one package
  • Raxil PRO SHIELD all-in-one maintains the market leading formulation of Raxil PRO but with enhanced coverage, a deeper red colour, minimal dust-off and buildup, and makes treating in cool conditions easier
  • Available in a 10 L jug (113 bushels of wheat) and a NEW 125 L (1,415 bushels of wheat) bottom-drain drum
  • Helps ensure uniformity in your fields, which makes timing a herbicide or fungicide application easier
  • Raxil PRO SHIELD offers both contact and systemic protection from seed, seedling and soil-borne diseases. Once seed is in the ground and disease starts to attack, there’s nothing that can be done to prevent that crop loss.
  • Higher performing root systems
  • Improved vigour
  • Robust growth and increased yield potential
  • Wireworm protection: Through ingestion and/or contact, the active ingredient in Stress Shield (imidacloprid) prevents wireworms from feeding on cereal crops
  • Helps the crop cope with unforeseen seasonal stresses

Please note that the number of bushels treated will vary depending on the density of the seed. Calculations for the amount treated are based on wheat = 60 lbs./bushel, barley = 48 lbs./bushel, oats = 34 lbs./bushel. Always calculate seed density before treating seed and for best results, treat seed based on actual seed weight.

Mixing Instructions and Tote Configuration

Illustration of mixing instructions and tote configuration.

    Designed for maximum coverage, this 140 L drum containing 125 L of Raxil PRO SHIELD is fully compatible with your existing mixing equipment.
