SEED TREATMENT GUIDE 2024

2026

The number of seed treatments and options for Canadian crop producers is always changing. Each year, products are reviewed and phased out, new products are launched and recommendations are updated. This can come with frustration and uncertainty, but as you will see in this year’s Seed Treatment Guide, options remain when it comes to protecting crops.

Diseases, insects and nematodes can cause significant damage in crops across Western Canada each year. They can prevent crop establishment and challenge overall crop health, impacting yield. A seed treatment can help prevent these issues during early growth stages and protect your crops when it matters most. With the wide range of seed treatments available, it’s important to have all the options in front of you to choose the best fit.

Top Crop Manager is pleased to publish the 2026 Seed Treatment Guide, our annual reference tool listing products registered (at publication time) for corn, cereal, soybean, pulse and canola crops. We hope this guide helps when choosing products for the upcoming growing season.

Stakeholders must be accountable when it comes to making smart and mindful decisions when choosing which tools to use each growing season. That’s why Top Crop Manager is pleased to publish the 2024 Seed Treatment Guide, our annual reference tool listing products registered (at publication time) for cereal, corn, soybean, pulse and canola crops. We hope this guide helps when choosing products for the upcoming growing season.

As always, we strive to make the tables in this guide as accurate and user-friendly as possible. With that said, this guide is adapted and compiled from crop protection resources and companies and is not a definitive text. Growers should always double-check provincial guides and product labels and consult a professional to avoid errors.

Establish your crop with an effective seed treatment.
