Orus 5 TN

Strategic Seed Protection for Winter Cereals

Securing a high yield starts with the health of the seed. Orius 5 TN, manufactured by ADAMA MAKHTESHIM LTD. (Israel), is a professional systemic seed treatment fungicide. It is designed to tackle a wide spectrum of seed-borne and soil-borne pathogens that threaten winter crops during the critical germination phase.

Key Scenarios and Application

This fungicide is a standard choice for wheat and barley producers aiming for consistent field emergence. The combination of Imazalil and Tebuconazole (Imidazoles class) works systemically, shielding the plant from the inside out. Key benefits for your farm operations include:

• Smut Control: Highly effective against both loose and covered smut, ensuring the crop isn't compromised from within.
• Root Rot Management: Neutralizes Helminthosporium and Fusarium root rots, which are the primary causes of reduced crop stand in winter wheat and barley.
• Prevention of Seed Decay: Protects seeds from mold in adverse soil conditions during early autumn sowing.
• Leaf Spot Suppression: Acts as a barrier against net blotch in barley, allowing the plant to reach the tillering stage without infection pressure.

Presented as an emulsion, Orius 5 TN provides excellent adhesion to the seed surface, ensuring uniform coverage. With a dosage rate of 0.5–0.7 L/t and requiring only one application, it offers a cost-effective solution for modern agronomic practices. Its classification as a Hazard Class 3 product makes it manageable under standard safety protocols, providing a robust “immune system” for your seedlings.
