Avicenna Plus

Why Avicenna Plus is a staple for cereal crop protection

When working with winter crops, managing disease control before sowing is crucial. Investing in high-quality seeds means nothing if root rots or smut take hold early on. I switched to 'Avicenna Plus' by Alfa Smart Agro to simplify my seed treatment process. It combines several active ingredients (prochloraz, boscalid, pyraclostrobin, tebuconazole), providing both systemic and contact action, which is essential for uniform protection.

Field Experience and Performance

• Broad Spectrum Control: The product excels against common threats like powdery mildew and septoria, but what really matters is its performance against stubborn issues like helminthosporium and all types of smut. You can clearly see a stronger, healthier root system as the crops emerge.
• Ease of Application: The aqueous emulsion formula is user-friendly. It flows well in treaters, doesn't clog nozzles, and adheres perfectly to the seed surface without creating excess dust. A dosage of 0.5–1.0 L/t allows for easy planning and cost-efficient logistics.
• Reliability: A single application is sufficient to establish a strong foundation. With a hazard class of 3, it integrates easily into standard safety protocols during sowing operations.

The predictability of this product is its biggest asset. Winter wheat and barley come out of dormancy with minimal disease pressure, which often saves us from needing an early-season foliar fungicide application, saving both budget and labor hours. 'Avicenna Plus' is a professional tool that just does its job, allowing me to focus on other agronomic priorities without worrying about early crop health.
