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

  • Helps ensure uniformity in your fields, which makes timing a herbicide or fungicide application easier

  • Wireworm protection: Through ingestion and/or contact, the active ingredient in Stress Shield (imidacloprid) prevents wireworms from feeding on cereal crops

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.

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.

    Before use, all wire holding caps can be cut for easy access (seed treatment containers only).
