Managing cereal diseases with «Proteb 240 EC»

Effective cereal production depends on timely intervention against fungal pathogens. The systemic fungicide «Proteb 240 EC» by Schirm offers a robust solution for winter wheat and barley growers, combining the power of two triazoles: prothioconazole and tebuconazole.

Field applications and strategic use

This formulation is designed for targeted use in professional farming, focusing on critical growth stages where disease pressure can compromise yield quality:

• Fusarium head blight (FHB): The most crucial application happens during the flowering stage. Controlling FHB is essential to prevent mycotoxin contamination and maintain grain quality.
• Leaf blotch and spots: Whether facing net blotch in barley or septoria in wheat, the systemic action of Proteb 240 EC ensures that the product is absorbed into plant tissues, stopping the infection from the inside out.
• Powdery mildew and pyrenophora: The fungicide acts reliably under various infection pressures, serving as a pillar for high-yield technology programs.

Practical application insights

As an emulsifiable concentrate, the product integrates seamlessly into tank mixes. With a recommended application rate of 1–1.5 L/ha, it provides lasting systemic protection. The product is restricted to one application per season, making timing vital. Agronomists should prioritize preventive measures or target the earliest possible signs of infection to secure the canopy and the grain head.

Please note that this product carries a 2nd hazard class rating, necessitating strict adherence to safety protocols during mixing and spraying operations. By utilizing Proteb 240 EC, producers gain a reliable tool from Schirm to protect their investment from start to harvest.
