Features & Benefits

Product Highlights

YOUR CHOICE IN SOYBEAN SEED SHOULDN’T DICTATE YOUR CHOICE IN SEED TREATMENT

RACEREADY™ Complete allows you to buy your seed treatment based on its total agronomic value for disease and insect protection. Above that, RACEREADY™ Complete offers a proprietary triple-stack inoculant, a proprietary liquid Trichoderma biological for better root development and starch-based extender/polymers for easier planting. For top performance and value pricing that leaves the competition in the dust, run with RACEREADY™ Complete.

Agronomic Benefits
  • Fludioxonil: a non-systemic fungicide with control of Rhizoctonia damping off, rhizoctonia seed rot, pythium, phytophthora and fusarium
  • T-methyl: a systemic fungicide with control against rhizoctonia damping off and phomopsis
  • Metalaxyl: a systemic fungicide used to control pythium damping off and phytophthora
  • Imidacloprid: a systemic insecticide proven to effectively protect beans from a broad range of harmful insects
  • Bradyrhizobia Inoculant: an inoculant including three proprietary strains that accelerate early-season nodulation for maximum nutrient uptake
  • Trichoderma: an active biological that creates more robust root systems and improves photosynthetic efficiency Extender/Polymer: starch-based (non-sticky) extender reduces bridging and improves on-seed life of Bradyrhizobia and overall performance
  • Flo-Rite 17061: a polymer coating designed to improve plantability, reduce dust-off of actives, and improve seed flow

Applications & Uses

Applicable Crop
Application Technique
Packaging, Applications and Use Rates

RACEREADY™ Complete is a co-pack. The co-pack (Part A) is a liquid premix available in a 30 gallon mini-drum. The pre-mix contains the fungicide, insecticide, FloRite1 and a colorant. The application rate for the premix is 2.12 oz per 50 lb of soybeans.

The second component of the co-pack (Part B) is a case that includes three separate parts:

  • bladder containing the inoculant
  • cylinders of the liquid Trichoderma
  • cylinders of the extender/polymer

The application rate for the biological components is 0.775 oz per 50 lb of soybeans

All RACEREADY™ recommend use rates are based on treating a 50lb unit of soybeans with an estimated 140k seeds per unit. The table below provides use rates:

Co-Pack Component Use Rate Per 50lbs of Soybeans
Part A Fungicide/Insecticide Pre-Mix 2.12 oz
Part B Inoculant, Trichoderma, Extender/Polymer 0.775 oz

The following tables outline the approximate number of units that different packaging options treat:

Applications Instruction

RACEREADY™ Complete is an all liquid system designed for use in a liquid tank mix in commercial seed
treatment systems. For the Part A components of the Co-pack, connect the mini-drum or tote to the slurry tank and set system to apply product at the suggested use rate.
For Part B of the Co-pack:

  1. Prior to adding to the tank, shake well all components (liquid rhizobia, extender ,liquid Trichoderma).
  2. All components (liquid rhizobia, extender, liquid Trichoderma) are to be used together.
  3. Gradually pour components into non-chlorinated water.
  4. When all three components are combined the mixture is ready to apply. Connect container to the inoculant and biological application port that bypasses the atomizer on most commercial seed treaters.
  5. Once mixed, use immediately.

Recommendations for Adverse Conditions or New “Virgin” Soybean Fields – If soil has not hosted the specific legume for more than three (3) years; Soil pH is less than 5.8 (pH should be adjusted by liming prior to inoculation); Soil pH is more than 8.5; Soil organic matter is less than 1.5%; Drought or flooding has occurred; Topsoil conditions exceed 80° F; Soil erosion, or with the use of soil treatments and chemicals injurious to soil bacteria and inoculants, to Maximize Soybean Yield Potential: When planting soybeans under the conditions listed above, it is recommended to apply a double (2X) rate of inoculants.

Achieve a 2X inoculants rate as follows:
a. Apply a 1X rate of RACEREADY™ Complete no more than 30 days prior to planting.
b. Additionally, apply at planting, a 1X rate of a sterile peat inoculant.
