SO MUCH POWER.
SO LITTLE EFFORT.

INTRODUCING THE NEW 3X CONCENTRATED FORMULATION OF CORAGEN® MAX INSECTICIDE.

NEW Coragen MaX insecticide comes in a 2L jug that covers more acres than the previous Coragen® insecticide 3.79 L jug. Now it’s an even more sound choice for vegetable growers and applicators:
  • Less product to handle while mixing
  • Smaller footprint in the shed
  • Less plastic
  • Fewer jugs to rinse
It still delivers extended control of cutworms, armyworms, diamondback moths, cabbage loopers and more, with minimal impact on many important beneficial insects and pollinators*.

*When applied at label rates. In line with Integrated Pest Management and Good Agricultural Practices, insecticide applications should be made when pollinators are not foraging to avoid unnecessary exposure.

Always read and follow label instructions. Member of CropLife Canada.
