Syngenta Quilt Xcel 2011

The Best Choice for Corn
Quilt Xcel is an elite systemic fungicide containing
the Power of Two active ingredients providing both
curative and longer-lasting preventive disease control
and Plant Performance to maximize yield and quality.
This powerful formulation supplies broad-spectrum
control of the diseases that impact yield and helps
maximize harvest efficiency and improve yields
through greener plants, improved stalk quality,
bigger ears, more kernels and complete ear fill.
Demand the best: Quilt Xcel.
Increased Plant Performance through
Better Stability and Systemic Activity
In the chart below, it’s clear azoxystrobin, the active
ingredient in Quilt Xcel, outperforms the strobilurin active
ingredient in Headline AMP and Stratego ® YLD fungicides
in terms of mobility throughout the leaf. The ability of the
active ingredient to spread throughout the leaf helps ensure
protection from disease pressure.
Why Quilt Xcel?
Delivers longer-lasting, broad-spectrum
control of yield-robbing corn diseases.
• Provides powerful curative and
longer-lasting preventive disease
control with the Power of Two.
• Moves through the leaf providing
uniform coverage, even to new growth.
• Offers built-in resistance management
with two modes of action.
Optimizes Plant Performance activity
for increased quality and boosts yield
an average of 15-20 bu/A.
• Plant Performance benefits include
improved plant vigor, yield and quality
through beneficial impacts on plant
physiology including:
• Photosynthesis
• Nitrogen utilization
• Water use efficiency
• Extended grain fill achieved through
preserved green leaf area

In addition to increased yield, Quilt Xcel
also helps produce stronger stalks and
longer stand leading to an easier harvest
and less potential for stalk breakage or
ear fall that results in volunteer corn the
following season.

Average of 11 internal replicated Syngenta trials. Treatments were applied to corn at R1 (FAZ004-2010).
The applications were made at R1 by ground of
Quilt Xcel at 10.5 oz per acre vs. 6.0 oz per acre
of Headline fungicide against an untreated check.
