Objective
Evaluate performance of PPST 250 plus DuPont™ Lumivia™ insecticide seed treatment in corn.
Figure 1. Side-by-side comparison of PPST 250 (left) vs. PPST 250 plus Lumivia insecticide seed treatment (right) in a 2014 Pioneer® GrowingPoint® agronomy research trial in Missouri. The trial field was in no-till corn and white grub pressure was noted at the location.
Study Description
- PPST 250 plus Lumivia insecticide seed treatment is a combination of the standard PPST 250 corn seed treatment (4 fungicides & Cruiser® 250 insecticide) with the addition of the new insecticide seed treatment DuPont Lumivia (0.25 mg ai per seed), which contains the active ingredient chloranthraniliprole.
- PPST 250 plus Lumivia insecticide seed treatment provides enhanced activity against a broad spectrum of early-season insect pests in corn including wireworm, black cutworm, fall armyworm, white grub and seedcorn maggot.

Results
Figure 2. Yield advantage of PPST 250 plus Lumivia insecticide seed treatment over PPST 250 in 2013, 2014 & 2015 DuPont Pioneer research and on-farm trials.
- 2013, 2014 & 2015 agronomy research and on-farm locations (187 locations):
- Across all locations, PPST 250 plus Lumivia insecticide seed treatment had an average yield advantage of 2.5 bu/acre (yield increase at 58% of locations) over PPST 250 alone.
- In responsive locations (108/187 locations), PPST 250 plus Lumivia insecticide seed treatment averaged 8.4 bu/acre more than PPST 250.
