Censor FS t.c.s.

Synergistic Triazole Chemistry for Seed Treatment

The fungicide «Censor FS» (Цензор FS т.к.с.), manufactured by NanjingBoost Industrial and Trading Corp, China, is a specialized systemic seed treatment agent. It leverages the synergistic effect of two triazole-class active ingredients: Difenoconazole and Cyproconazole. This formulation is engineered to provide robust protection for winter and spring wheat, as well as winter barley, targeting soil-borne and seed-borne pathogens during the critical germination and emergence phases.

Technical Composition Analysis

• Difenoconazole: A highly systemic component that is rapidly absorbed by the seed. It redistributes throughout the developing seedling, providing prolonged residual control of various root rots and covered smut.
• Cyproconazole: Known for its exceptional mobility within plant tissues. It effectively inhibits mycelial growth of pathogens like Helminthosporium and Fusarium root rots, preventing seed decay and protecting the integrity of the embryo.

The product is formulated as a Flowable Concentrate (FS), which ensures excellent adherence to the seed coat. This physical stability is critical for modern precision planters, as it minimizes dusting and ensures that the chemical remains on the seed until moisture activates the protective barrier in the soil.

Field Application and Performance

Classified under hazard class 3, this product is designed for efficient, single-pass application. By providing a uniform protective coating, Censor FS ensures consistent plant stand establishment. Its systemic nature is particularly beneficial under suboptimal environmental conditions, such as cool soil temperatures or deep seeding, where the risk of pathogen infection is significantly higher. By targeting the source of the infection, this product allows crops to establish a strong root system, setting the stage for higher yields in both wheat and barley production.
