Mortlok Plus SC

Elevating Wheat Protection with «Mortlock Plus SC»

In the intensive cultivation of wheat, fungicide strategy is a balancing act between protection and yield preservation. Rotam Agrochemical Company Limited offers a targeted solution: the synergistic combination of azoxystrobin and prothioconazole in the «Mortlock Plus SC» formulation. By merging these two active ingredients, the product covers a broad spectrum of diseases, from foliar spots to ear blights.

The Mechanics of Performance

• Azoxystrobin (Strobilurin): Beyond its primary antifungal action, it is known for the «green effect,» which maintains leaf longevity and optimizes photosynthetic efficiency. This is vital during the critical grain-filling period.
• Prothioconazole (Triazole): Considered the industry gold standard for controlling fusarium head blight. It offers excellent curative properties and deep tissue penetration, making it an essential tool for high-yield farming.

Strategic Application

Designed for professional use on winter and spring wheat, «Mortlock Plus SC» is a systemic fungicide that moves through the plant, ensuring protection of treated and newly emerged tissues. With a recommended dosage of 0.5 – 1.0 L/ha, it provides a flexible tool for agronomists facing pressure from septoria, powdery mildew, and various rusts.

Efficiency vs. Operational Reality

The limitation of one application per season suggests that this product should be reserved for the most critical growth stages, typically surrounding the ear formation phase. Its systemic nature means it is less sensitive to perfect spray coverage compared to contact products, but the 3rd hazard class requires strict adherence to safety protocols. For farms targeting high-quality wheat, this fungicide serves as a robust defense against yield-robbing pathogens.

Why it stands out

Compared to generic products, the Mortlock Plus SC formula minimizes the risk of pathogen resistance by combining two distinct modes of action. Its primary strength lies in its ability to simultaneously address foliar disease complexes and the devastating impact of fusarium, making it an optimal choice for intensive crop management programs.
