Avicta Duo 250 Corn is a seed treatment product designed to protect corn seedlings from early-season nematode damage and insect damage. It contains two active ingredients: Abamectin (11.3%) and Thiamethoxam (14.2%). This product is a Restricted Use Pesticide due to acute inhalation toxicity and must only be used by certified applicators or those under their direct supervision. It is intended for use in Syngenta-certified corn seed treatment facilities using closed transfer and application systems; it is not for use in hopper boxes, planter boxes, slurry boxes, or other farmer-applied applications. Handling requires specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) depending on the role (Seed Treatment Workers, Fillers, or Clean-up workers), typically including chemical-resistant gloves (barrier laminate, butyl rubber, nitrile, neoprene, PVC, or Viton), protective eyewear, and specific NIOSH-approved respirators. Users must be careful to avoid inhalation, ingestion, and skin/eye contact. The product is highly toxic to bees and aquatic invertebrates, and thiamethoxam can leach into groundwater in permeable soils.
