control all species
of rootworm larvae
Get improved control of all species of corn rootworm larvae with an in-furrow application of AZTEC® branded products to provide the best growing environment for your crop investment.
FIND A REPTRAITS ALONE AREN’T ENOUGH
Resistance has been documented in many Bt traits for corn rootworm larvae meaning traits alone are not a reliable strategy to manage the damaging and costly effects of CRW. A more complete insecticide plan is essential in high-risk areas to reduce damage and protect yield potential.

PROVEN VALUE IN UNIVERSITY TRIALS
AND ON THE FARMS
To demonstrate the enhanced yield response that AZTEC Higher Concentration Granules soil insecticide produces in conventional and rootworm trait corn, AMVAC® sponsored academic trials across the Midwest for several years. The trials featured AZTEC HC on rootworm trait containing hybrids (both single and dual traits) and untreated non-CRW traited hybrids. AZTEC HC provided a greater percent consistency of root protection across trials for each trait platform and increased yields across trials in each of the hybrid platforms evaluated.

Conjunction with Rootworm Traits
*Yield adjusted to 15% moisture. Hybrids evaluated across trials include no rootworm trait,
SmartStax® RIB Complete®, Qrome®, and Agrisure Duracade® E-Z Refuge. Treatments are
not significantly different LSD p=0.05. IA, IL, MN, NE (2), SD (2), WI university locations
Aztec® HC Improves Corn Rootworm
Larval Control Consistency with Traits
*Percent consistency of rootworm control equals % of roots sustaining ≤ 0.25 node-injury (NI)
on the 0-3 scale. Hybrids evaluated across trials include no rootworm trait, SmartStax®
RIB Complete®, Qrome®, and Agrisure Duracade® E-Z Refuge. Treatments with the same

PROTECTION AGAINST A WIDE RANGE OF PESTS
AZTEC insecticide brand family is a granular soil insecticide applied at planting with a low-use rate to control all species of corn rootworm larvae (Northern, Western, Southern, and Mexican) and for proven, broad-spectrum control of seed- and seedling-attacking pests:
MULTIPLE OPTIONS TO FIT YOUR FIELD
AZTEC® HC Higher Concentration Granules
- High-concentrate granular formula allows a lower use rate for application efficiency
- Compatible with today’s high-speed planters, so you can cover more acres with fewer refills than conventional insecticides
- Available in SmartBox® containers for fewer moves to lift and load, and more time to plant
- Also available in SmartCartridge™ containers for use with the SIMPAS® application system
- For use in field corn, sweet corn, popcorn, and corn grown for seed or silage
- Non-systemic control, compatible with any corn herbicide
AZTEC® 4.67G
- Available in both bags and SmartBox for your application convenience
- AZTEC 4.67G in a bag is a superior choice for mechanical granular insecticide box application, with a use rate suited for ease of calibration
- AZTEC 4.67G is also a great fit with Precision Planting® vDrive® electric insecticide meter technology
- For use in field corn, sweet corn, popcorn, and corn grown for seed or silage
- Non-systemic control, compatible with any corn herbicide
STRONGER PROTECTION WHERE IT COUNTS
AZTEC branded products are highly recommended in areas where your potential return on investment is the highest.
- High-yielding zones
- Corn-on-corn acres
- Hybrids with no CRW Bt trait or ineffective below-ground CRW traits
- First-year corn geographies with Northern corn rootworm extended diapause
- Crop rotation resistant western CRW variant areas
