Sargon 250

Systemic Protection for Cereals: How Sargon 250 Works

The efficiency of the Sargon 250 fungicide, produced by "Torgoviy Dim Disves-Agro", relies on the proven mechanism of propiconazole at a concentration of 250 g/L. As a triazole derivative, this active ingredient works by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, which effectively stops pathogen cell division and destroys their membrane structure. The product is absorbed into plant tissues within 1–2 hours after application, providing robust resistance against wash-off by precipitation.

Technological Formulation Features

• Systemic Action: The active ingredient moves rapidly through the plant’s xylem, ensuring protection even for plant parts that were not directly contacted during spraying.
• Emulsifiable Concentrate: The specific formulation ensures optimal adhesion and fast penetration through the leaf’s waxy cuticle, which is critical for wheat and barley during their active growth phases.
• Extended Residual Effect: With a dosage rate of 0.5–1.0 L/ha, the fungicide maintains a protective barrier for 2–4 weeks, depending on the severity of the infection pressure.

Practical Field Application

Sargon 250 targets a broad range of cereal diseases, including helminthosporiosis, net blotch, septoria, rhynchosporium, and powdery mildew. Net blotch of barley, which often causes significant yield losses, is effectively managed when the fungicide is applied at the correct growth stage. With a maximum of 2 applications per season and a Class 3 safety rating, the product is suitable for intensive winter cereal protection schemes, offering a balanced approach to managing fungal pathogens while minimizing risks to the local ecosystem.
