Benazol

Reliable systemic control of plant pathogens

Managing fungal diseases in winter wheat and sugar beet requires a proven, systemic approach. The «Benazol» fungicide from Shchelkovo Agrohim is a trusted tool for agronomists looking to suppress aggressive pathogens like cercosporella, fusarium root rot, and snow mold. Its systemic properties ensure that the active ingredient, benomyl, is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout its tissues, providing a robust defense barrier.

Field Application and Performance

The product comes as a wettable powder, which requires attention during tank mixing. To ensure the smooth operation of sprayers and prevent clogged nozzles, I recommend preparing a concentrated stock solution before filling the tank. Its systemic action provides internal protection, which is crucial when dealing with complex soil-borne diseases or infections spreading within the crop canopy.

• Dosage and Strategy: The recommended rate of 0.5–1.0 l/ha provides flexibility depending on the disease pressure. For fields with a history of high fungal activity, I suggest sticking to the higher end of the range.
• Operational Constraints: The product allows for a maximum of 2 applications per season. Always respect the 50-day pre-harvest interval; this is non-negotiable for crop safety and residue management.
• Spectrum of Protection: «Benazol» is highly effective against powdery mildew, phoma, and various rot complexes that threaten the yield potential of cereals and root crops.

Expert Insight

As an operator, I value the predictability of this product. Belonging to the benzimidazole class, it is a stable and effective solution. While it is classified as a category 3 hazard, proper handling with standard protective gear is all that is required for safe application. If your fields are prone to early-season fungal issues or overwintering diseases, incorporating «Benazol» into your protection program is a smart move to safeguard your investment.
