Orus Universal EN

Reliable Cereal Protection from the Start

For winter and spring cereals, the greatest risk during germination comes from soil-borne and seed-borne infections. Orius Universal EN by the Israeli company ADAMA MAKHTESHIM LTD. is a systemic seed treatment chosen by agronomists who need an "all-in-one" solution for seed security.

How the Formulation Works

The product's power lies in the combination of two active ingredients: prochloraz and tebuconazole. This synergy ensures a dual-action effect:

• Prochloraz acts as a contact barrier, blocking fungi on the surface of the seed and in the immediate soil zone.
• Tebuconazole provides systemic protection, penetrating the embryo to defend the seedling from within as it grows.

Practical Application Scenarios

This product is ideal for farms focusing on intensive crop management. With a dosage of 1.5–2 L/t, it effectively controls a wide range of smut diseases, seed mold, and suppresses root rots—both helminthosporium and fusarium types. The use of Orius Universal EN is particularly valuable in barley production, where early-stage protection against net blotch is essential for maintaining optimal plant density.

Technological Advantages

The emulsion form is highly practical: it mixes well with water, ensures uniform seed coverage, and does not cause clogging in seed drills. A crucial note: the label specifies a maximum of one application, so precision in dosage per ton of seeds is key. Classified as a Hazard Class 3 chemical, it requires standard handling precautions but delivers consistent performance, significantly reducing the risk of seedling loss.
