CORN SEED TREATMENT
Titan Upstream Corn CL250
Three fungicides and an insecticide, plus three performance biologicals and nutrition products in one corn treatment.
CeraMax® biological seed treatment: Contains the active ingredient natamycin to increase early-season vigor for a stronger, more uniform emergence and maximum yield potential. Effective against a broad range of fungal diseases, with a top seed-safety profile for germination and stand protection. In 2022 replicated corn trials (OH, IN, IL, MI), CeraMax added 12.1 bu/ac over the check.
Germate Plus ST™ growth stimulator: Enhances pathogen control by working in sync with other inputs, promotes seed germination for higher yield, and works directly with existing seed treatment equipment.
ZanoLink™ CMC seed-applied nutrition and water management: Provides an optimal moisture environment around the seed for nutrient uptake. Nanoparticle zinc technology improves root uptake at reduced concentration, benefiting germination and emergence with a season-long effect on plant growth and yield. Trial yield: base pesticide 187.4 bu/ac · HydraLink + Terios Zn+ 193.2 bu/ac · ZanoLink CMC 195.4 bu/ac (+8).
CORN SEED TREATMENT
Titan ST Corn Zinc RTU
Increase profitability in your corn program. Adding zinc to your corn program generates results – industry averages show approximately 5 bu/ac bumps in programs that include zinc. Seed-applied zinc is the most economical and efficient way to get zinc into your corn.
Low use rate
Increases availability of phosphorus
Stimulates root growth
Stimulates emergence and enhances vigor
Activates the plant's internal stress-defense mechanisms

WHEAT SEED TREATMENT
All-in-One Wheat ST Blends with Impress™
Maximum protection with superior ease of use. DEI's proven wheat treatment blends now come standard with Impress™, a built-in, patent-pending seed treatment additive that improves coverage and deposition on the seed coat for increased flowability and reduced dust exposure for workers and growers.
Built-in performance enhancer
Maximum protection against common stressors
Enhanced appearance and flowability
Reduced dust exposure to workers and growers
All blends are available with or without imidacloprid ("IM" versions). Depending on the blend, targets include general seed rots; seedling blight, root, foot and crown rot caused by Fusarium or Rhizoctonia; seedling blight, root rot and damping-off caused by soil-borne Pythium; common bunt (stinking smut); loose smut; and suppression of powdery mildew and barley stripe. IM versions add control of wireworm, aphids and Hessian fly. See the PDF for the full blend-by-blend chart.
sT enhancers
CeraMax®
Powerful defense against SDS. CeraMax uses the industry's most advanced biological active ingredient to prevent soilborne diseases like Fusarium virguliforme, the causal agent of sudden death syndrome. It activates defensive pathways to prime plant physiology before disease sets in. Severe SDS infection can cause over 50% yield loss, and because SDS commonly infects soybeans planted in cool, wet conditions, early-planted soybeans are more susceptible.
SDS protection without stress or phytotoxicity
Better economics and value for grower and retailer
Biological profile that's better for seed and soil
Direct Enterprises is the exclusive distributor of CeraMax®.
Germate Plus™
Growth stimulator with targeted defense against nematodes. Germate Plus ST provides significant suppression of pathogenic adult nematodes and eggs while deploying fewer synthetic inputs than the grower-standard nematicide. It disrupts multiple stages of the nematode life cycle (egg and J2 stages) and activates natural plant defenses, helping control root knot nematode damage and SCN pressure.
Enhances other inputs: works in sync with your seed treatment program to enhance pathogen control
Higher yield: promotes germination and increases nodule formation
Easy to use: compatible with existing equipment and other actives, at an extremely low dose rate
Non-hazardous application; safe for handlers and beneficial for plant and soil health
Increases plant mass above and below ground and stimulates more vigorous growth
Gravista® Grain Storage Insecticide
Beat insects with the power of three. Gravista combines an adulticide, an insect growth regulator (IGR) and a synergist to kill labeled insects and break their life cycles.
Active ingredients: deltamethrin 1.20%, piperonyl butoxide 33.30%, (S)-methoprene 2.85%
Long-term residual control
On-grain, empty-bin and perimeter treatment for wheat, corn, rice and other labeled grains and seeds
Dilutable with water, oil or dust-controlling oils; CODEX approved for cereal grains
3-in-1 combination eliminates labor-intensive tank mixing and reduces infestation rebound
Targets Indian meal moth, sawtoothed grain beetle, red flour beetle, rice weevil, maize weevil, lesser grain borer and other labeled pests
Always read and follow label directions. Gravista is a trademark of Wellmark International.
Heads Up®
A new line of defense against sudden death syndrome and white mold. Formulated from highly concentrated plant-extracted chemicals with no living organisms, Heads Up triggers the plant's innate defense pathways upon germination to kick-start season-long disease protection. For the suppression of root rot and post-emergence damping-off (Rhizoctonia solani), white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) and sudden death syndrome (Fusarium virguliforme).
N-Force™ Soybean Inoculant
The original gold standard of soybean inoculant. DEI's proven multi-strain soybean inoculant produces more nodules on the tap root and lateral roots than any other brand. A special stabilization process requires no extender, resulting in less tacky beans and improved flowability. Inoculant enhances yield performance and supplies additional nitrogen to next year's crop – our studies show it benefits yield 70% of the time, making it the most cost-effective add-on to any seed treatment program.
Formulated for use with IFST
240-day survival on seed
Increased flowability
Convenient packaging – no boxes, bags or bottles
N-Durance™ Soybean Inoculant
DEI's proven N-Force soybean inoculant technology combined with the Azospirillum bacterium for enhanced root growth and development. Developed for high-organic, productive soil types.
Combines Bradyrhizobium with the natural nitrogen-fixing power of Azospirillum
Advanced root hair growth, increased nodulation and higher yields
Stands out in high-organic soils
Easy-to-use, all-in-one product with a two-year shelf life and 240-day survival on seed
Contains 1 x 10⁶ Bradyrhizobium and 2 x 10⁴ Azospirillum
Pearl Brite® Low Dust
Looks better. Flows better. Plants better. A powdered seed treatment applied after liquid seed treatment products to improve seed flow and appearance. It hastens drying time and finishes the treated seed with a shiny coat that does not stick or bridge. The patented formulation significantly reduces the fugitive dust common with other dry seed finishers, and it can be applied with dry application devices designed for talc, graphite, dry inoculant or other powdered products.
Improved operator experience and less fugitive dust
Improved productivity and efficiency
Less seed bridging and sticking
Soybean seed flows 5–7% better through bins, boxes, tenders and planters
PLANTER BOX TREATMENTS
