Lumisena

Professional seed protection against downy mildew

Dealing with downy mildew in sunflowers requires a proactive strategy. "Lumiscena," produced by DuPont International Operations Sarl, Switzerland, is a systemic fungicide designed for high-efficiency seed treatment. From an operator's perspective, this flowable suspension concentrate is a pleasure to use; it maintains consistent stability and flows well through treating equipment without clogging nozzles.

Operational performance

The active ingredient, oxathiapiprolin, provides a powerful systemic effect. Once treated, the fungicide protects the seedling from the inside out, which is vital during the early emergence phase when the plant is most vulnerable to soil-borne pathogens. With a application rate of 2–3 liters per ton of seeds, the treatment remains cost-effective for large-scale production.

• Systemic action: Ensures comprehensive protection as the seedling grows.
• Efficient application: Requires only one treatment, streamlining your logistics during the busy planting season.
• Reliability: Specifically engineered to tackle peronospora in sunflower crops.

Using this Swiss-made product simplifies the maintenance of your treatment machinery. Because it is formulated for stability, you spend less time cleaning tanks and more time focusing on planting. Following the safety guidelines for a Class 3 hazard product ensures a safe working environment while providing top-tier agronomic protection for your sunflowers.
