Use Stine’s XP® seed treatments to prevent early injury to your crops

December 2025 

A successful soybean season starts long before plants break the soil surface. Early challenges, such as cold and wet conditions, seedling diseases, and unpredictable pest pressure, can threaten stand establishment and limit yield potential. Stine® XP® seed treatments are designed to give growers confidence at planting by safeguarding seed during its most vulnerable stage.

Use Stine’s XP® seed treatments to prevent early injury to your crops

“With seed treatments, you are investing in uniform germination and emergence, creating the foundation for a healthy crop and higher yields.”

Tom Larson, Stine director of agronomy

Stine XP seed treatments combine multiple layers of protection to combat common threats, including Pythium spp., Phytophthora spp., Rhizoctonia solani, seed-borne pathogens and early-season insects.

Stine XP-F&I is an excellent option for growers looking for a powerful custom-blend combination fungicide and insecticide package. For those seeking the most advanced level of defense, Stine XP Complete 2.0 further enhances this protection with added Heads Up® plant protectant for white mold and sudden death syndrome suppression, along with an increased rate of Thiabendazole and the AmpliFYR® biostimulant to boost roots and shoot development.

Together, these XP seed treatments offer the flexibility to plant across variable soil and growing environments. Having the added security of Stine XP ensures premium soybean genetics are fully supported from the moment they enter the ground.

Maximize every acre with seed protection. It’s more than an add-on; it’s a critical element in achieving the highest return on your investment.
