Sidgard

Seed protection for maximum crop potential

Securing the crop starts in the furrow. Using "Seedgard" has proven to be a reliable way to ensure that seedlings don't fall victim to soil-borne pathogens before they even emerge. As a contact-systemic fungicide, it forms a robust protective layer on the seed surface, effectively tackling complex threats like Fusarium and Helminthosporium root rots.

Practical operation and handling

The formulation (emulsion for seed treatment) is highly practical for large-scale operations. It adheres well to the seed coat, ensuring uniform coverage without clogging treatment machinery. With an application rate of 0.5–1.0 L/t, it provides excellent control over Alternaria and seed molding. It is a versatile tool in our arsenal, covering essential crops like wheat, barley, soybeans, sunflowers, and corn.

Key advantages in the field

• Dual-action efficacy: The combination of contact and systemic properties controls both external and internal seed infections.
• Application flexibility: One product covers multiple crop types, simplifying logistics during the hectic sowing season.
• Reliability: It shows high stability in tank mixes and does not negatively impact seed germination energy when applied according to the label.

From an operator's perspective, the Class 3 hazard rating is manageable and standard for modern farm chemistry. The product is consistent, requires no complex maintenance during application, and performs exactly as expected. One treatment is sufficient to protect the seeds during the critical early growth stages, giving the crop a healthy start without the need for additional interventions.
