Professional protection with «Funagi»: Field insights

When dealing with threats like anthracnose or phomopsis, you need a fungicide that acts decisively. Based on my experience using «Funagi» by Sumi Agro Europe Limited, this product is a reliable workhorse. It combines thiophanate-methyl and tetraconazole, which provides a solid defense for crops like winter wheat, soybeans, and sunflowers during their most vulnerable growth stages.

Field Performance and Application

The strength of this product lies in its dual-action capability. As a systemic and contact fungicide, it doesn’t just wash off at the first sign of rain; it penetrates the tissue to stop fungal development from within. The water emulsion formulation is excellent—it mixes easily in the spray tank without clogging nozzles, which saves valuable time during the busy spraying season.

Operational Notes for the Farm

• Application Rates: The recommended rate is 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha. In my practice, I adjust the dosage based on the infection pressure. For preventive measures, 1 liter is sufficient, but in high-disease environments, hitting the 2-liter mark ensures the crop stays clean.
• Flexibility: You can apply it twice per season. This is perfect for covering the critical development windows for sugar beets or sunflowers.
• Efficiency: Whether it's powdery mildew or various types of rot, the dual-chemical composition handles the challenge effectively.

Safety is non-negotiable. Being a class 2 hazard substance, always ensure your team uses proper PPE and that you monitor wind conditions before spraying. For any farmer looking for a predictable and robust solution to protect their investment, «Funagi» provides the necessary confidence. It’s effective, easy to manage, and delivers consistent results where they matter most—in the field.
