Advanced Seed Protection with Redigo Prime 100 FS

Redigo Prime 100 FS, manufactured by Bayer, represents a specialized chemical solution for protecting winter and spring cereals. The product's technical superiority relies on its active ingredient, prothioconazole, which belongs to the triazolinone class. This molecule provides significantly higher biological activity against a wide range of seed-borne and soil-borne pathogens compared to traditional triazoles.

Inside the Formulation: Why It Matters

• Prothioconazole Action: As a demethylation inhibitor, it effectively blocks fungal ergosterol synthesis. This stops the development of mycelium, making it indispensable against Fusarium and Helminthosporium root rots.
• Systemic Distribution: The chemical doesn't just coat the seed; it penetrates deep into the embryo. This is critical for controlling deep-seated infections like loose smut or bunt, which are often missed by contact fungicides.
• FS Formulation Technology: The formulation (Flowable Concentrate for seed treatment) ensures excellent adhesion and coverage on the seed surface. This prevents dust-off during loading and handling while maintaining a precise dose of active ingredient per ton of seed.

Operational Guidelines for Field Success

To ensure robust germination, a single treatment is applied at a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 l/t. This application provides a shield against net blotch in barley and various seed molds, effectively increasing the survival rate of seedlings. The systemic nature of the fungicide allows it to migrate with the growing plant, offering protection through the vulnerable early stages of growth. Being a second-hazard class product, it is engineered for professional use with agricultural machinery, providing uniform seed coating without inhibiting germination energy. This balance makes it a standard choice for modern intensive wheat and barley production systems.
