SO MUCH POWER. SO LITTLE EFFORT.

Protect against quality and yield loss with the 3X more concentrated formulation of Coragen® MaX insecticide.

Coragen® MaX insecticide comes in a 2L jug that covers more acres than the previous Coragen® insecticide 3.79 L jug. That makes it a sound choice for fruit and vegetable growers and applicators:
  • Less product to handle while mixing
  • Smaller footprint in the shed
  • Less plastic
  • Fewer jugs to rinse

Coragen® MaX insecticide delivers extended control of European corn borer, armyworm, cutworm, imported cabbage worm, 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.
