When it comes to the total seed package, Beck’s is the best value for every dollar spent in the seed industry. That means farmers get more from their investment in Beck’s than they can get with any other seed brand. From PFR, a 100% Free Replant Policy, elite reward and discount programs, and industry-leading financing options, you can just expect more when planting Beck’s. But it doesn’t stop there.
Beck’s offers superior protection for your seed purchase with Escalate® with Nemasect® seed treatment standard on every bag of seed. Since releasing their first exclusive seed coating system in 1996, they’ve continued to lead the industry in providing farmers with the best quality ingredients to enhance and protect their seed at the highest level. Offering pest protection, improved stands, and higher yields, Escalate’s unique blend comes standard on all corn, soybeans, wheat, and alfalfa. And thanks to an exclusive blend and consistency of application, no one offers a seed treatment like Beck’s. Take a look at what makes their elite seed treatment packages one-of-a-kind.
Many companies rely solely on a hard chemistry to protect against seedling diseases. Beck’s Escalate on corn offers a hard chemistry AND a biological solution to provide more protection in various soil situations. With multiple modes of action, Escalate on corn protects against 25+ different diseases, insects, and nematodes.
The Power of Nematicide
Beck’s is the only company to offer a broad-spectrum nematicide standard on every unit of corn at no additional cost. Nemasect™ is a bio-based nematicide that protects against nematodes and other below-ground insect pests. It has delivered a median 9.5 Bu./A. yield protection advantage.* Nemasect is paired with a standard 500 rate of Poncho, providing the same level of protection as Poncho® 1250 on Corn Rootworm, but better protection and improved resistance management, all at no extra cost.
Plant Your Beck’s Corn First
With several ingredients to boost emergence and a combination of hard chemistry fungicides, bio-stimulants, and germination aids, farmers can plant their Beck’s seed early and expect early germination, uniform emergence, and increased vigor.

Beck’s is the only seed company to also offer a nematicide standard on all soybean units to combat the number one pest, Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN), which causes over $1 billion in losses in yield annually. Nemasect alone has a 3 Bu./A advantage in moderate to high SCN infections.** And with two seed treatment options to choose from, you can select the level of protection that’s right for your operation.
Two Options. All the Protection.
Escalate | Nemasect™ | SDS+ with Saltro® combines our standard treatment with the benefits of Saltro powered by ADEPIDYN® technology for powerful protection against SDS and suppression against Red Crown Rot. Saltro brings an additional +3 Bu./A. yield increase under SDS pressure.*** In addition, Saltro is paired with Chitosan, a bio-stimulant and nematicide, that protects against SCN and Root Knot Nematode and offers improved early above- and below-ground growth. No other company in the industry has a seed treatment with three modes of action on nematodes.

More Plants. More Yield.
Both soybean seed treatment options contain Heads Up® and Amplitude®, bio-fungicides that help bolster the crop’s response to early-season pathogen pests and promote early-season emergence and vigor. When planting early, we have seen tremendous benefits in emergence when counts were taken three days after the VE growth stage compared to a base seed treatment.
Each season, your success starts with the seed you plant, and we want to ensure that you’re set up for success. And thanks to Escalate with Nemasect, you can go to the field confident that you’re protected by the best.
