Protecting Your Yield from Day One: Using Serticor 050 FS

Ensuring a robust start for wheat and barley is crucial for the overall yield, and Serticor 050 FS, produced by Syngenta Grangemouth Works, remains a staple in our protection program. This systemic fungicide does not merely coat the seed; it penetrates to provide deep-tissue protection against pathogens that threaten early-stage development.

Application and Handling

As a flowable suspension concentrate, the product is highly efficient for heavy-duty seed treatment machinery. For an operator, this is a major plus: the formulation does not clog nozzles and maintains stable viscosity in the tank. With a dosage rate of 0.5–0.75 L/t, one treatment is sufficient to ensure high-quality, uniform coverage across the entire batch of seed, minimizing downtime during the busy spring sowing season.

Targeting Key Pathogens

We rely on Serticor 050 FS to tackle the most persistent field threats that often go unnoticed until it is too late:

• Fusarium and Helminthosporium root rots, which limit plant vigor early on.
• Loose smut, a disease that significantly impacts grain quality.
• Seed mold, particularly in wet soil conditions that can cause rot before emergence.

Technical Performance

The synergy of Metalaxyl-M and Tebuconazole, combined with amino acid derivatives, creates a systemic effect that supports the plant's natural defenses. The 3rd hazard class designation makes it manageable for site operators using standard protective gear. Overall, it provides the reliability we need when timing is everything and there is only one chance to get the treatment right.
