Product Information

Poncho®/VOTiVO® seed treatment combines the most trusted seed-applied insecticide for corn with one of the most revolutionary, complete nematode protections on the seed available. The result is a powerful seed treatment for corn, soybean and cotton that protects early season seedlings and roots from numerous insect and nematode pests. 



Poncho/VOTiVO employs a new biological mode of action with a unique bacteria strain that lives and grows with young roots, creating a living barrier that prevents important nematode species from reaching the roots. Poncho/VOTiVO also provides control of many critical early season insect pests. For farmers, Poncho/VOTiVO brings quick, consistent protection to the seed that lasts throughout the sensitive developmental period so critical to plant establishment, vigorous growth, and important as a basis for higher yields.

When paired with Aeris® seed-applied insecticide and nematicide or Gaucho® seed-applied insecticide on cotton seed, Poncho/VOTiVO delivers the broadest spectrum of insect and nematode protection on the seed available anywhere.

Product Key Benefits

  • Fast-Acting, Long-Lasting – Protects against 1st and 2nd generation nematodes, plus early season insects
  • New Mode of Action – Seed-applied bacteria colonize around the plant root, creating a living barrier of protection
  • Stability – Stable formulation on the seed and in the root zone
  • Yield Potential – Delivers fierce protection and a positive return on investment in corn, soybeans and cotton

Key Pests

  • Wireworm (corn)
  • Black Cutworm (corn and cotton)
  • Soybean Cyst Nematode (soybean)
  • Root-Knot Nematode (soybean and cotton)
  • See label for additional pests
