Saltro® seed treatment delivers powerful Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS), Red Crown Rot (RCR) and Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN) protection with enhanced crop safety, helping to maximize yield potential. See how it performs near you.
Stress less with Saltro.
We mean you and your soybeans.
Superior SDS Protection Without the Stress
No Early-Season Stress Means More Potential Yield
Soybean planting and crop stress go hand in hand, but your SDS and SCN protection doesn’t need to add more strain. Thanks to exclusive MagniSafe™ technology, Saltro delivers enhanced crop safety, extraordinary increases in root and shoot mass and plant-health improvements that can be seen across broad acres.
Bottom line, Saltro helps protect young seedlings without the baggage, driving stress lower and potential yields higher – even in the absence of disease or pest pressure. So, you can say goodbye to visible signs of plant stress both above and below the soil, like phytotoxicity (leaf burn), smaller root mass, stunting and reduced plant stands.

SCN: A Hidden Threat
As the leading cause of yield loss in U.S. soybeans, SCN causes an estimated $1.5 billion in yield loss1 each year — and it can do this without showing visual symptoms.
The Impact of SDS
SDS infects soybeans early, but foliar symptoms don’t appear until it’s too late to protect against yield losses, which can be over 50%.2 By using Saltro with SDS- and SCN-resistant varieties, you can limit the risk of losing yield to both SDS and SCN.
Upgraded Protection =
More Bushels in the Bin
Upgraded Protection Equals More Bushels in the Bin
Saltro delivers over a 3 bushel yield bump under SDS pressure.3 Even in low or no SCN or SDS pressure environments, Saltro offers a positive return to maximize your seed investment – consistently delivering a 1.5-4.5 bu/A yield advantage.4

Better Plant Stands, More Bushel Potential
Early-season stress can increase stand loss and weaken seedlings. When fewer soybeans emerge, both yield loss and replant risk increase. Saltro better protects your seed investment by helping soybeans emerge healthy and uniform to start the season strong.

Healthy Soybeans, Higher Yield Potential
SDS protection doesn’t need to be another stressor for your young soybeans. Saltro provides protection without plant stress, including phytotoxicity, stunting, reduced plant stands, susceptibility to pests or weather and reduced plant growth.

More Roots and Shoots, Max Potential Yield
Early-season stress and damage can prevent plants from reaching their full yield potential. In addition to robust SCN activity, Saltro delivers unprecedented root and shoot mass increases to help establish stronger, healthier plants, thanks to MagniSafe technology.

Thicker Canopy, Heftier Yields
Saltro helps soybeans achieve stronger plant stands, leading to faster canopy closure and reduced competition from weeds. With less competition, plants can put more energy toward pod and bean development. Using Saltro alongside Tendovo® herbicide can help give your soybeans the distinct early-season performance advantage they need to reach their full potential.

Limit Yield Loss From Red Crown Rot
A newer disease, Red Crown Rot causes stand reduction, pre- and post-emergence damping-off and ultimately reduced potential yield. To help protect your soybeans, Saltro has a 2(ee) Label for suppression in Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee.

Maximize Stand – Even Under Low to No Pressure
Some SDS seed treatments can burn young seedlings, setting soybeans back and hurting your bottom line. With exclusive MagniSafe technology, Saltro delivers enhanced plant health and crop safety for a stronger plant stand – even in moderate to no known pest pressure.
