Reliable protection for winter crops: field experience with Taurt

When it comes to treating winter wheat and barley seeds, consistency is key. In my practice, I have opted for 'Taurt' by Nertus because this systemic fungicide provides comprehensive protection right from the start. By combining imazalil, azoxystrobin, and difenoconazole, the product tackles a wide range of issues: from root rots and Fusarium to smut and seed mold. It essentially provides a safety net for the crop during the most vulnerable development stage.

Operational advantages

For those managing the machinery, 'Taurt' is highly functional for several reasons:

• Superior emulsion stability: The product mixes perfectly, doesn't clog nozzles, and provides uniform coverage on every single grain, which is essential for uniform emergence.
• Systemic action: The active ingredients penetrate the seed, creating a protective barrier that isn't washed away by early spring rain.
• Efficiency: With application rates ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 l/t, it is easy to calculate input costs without overspending on active ingredients.

Over several seasons, I have observed that fields treated with 'Taurt' show much better uniformity. This is particularly noticeable in winter wheat, which often struggles with Fusarium root rot. The systemic nature of the product keeps the seedlings vigorous, preventing the "patchy field" effect that ruins yields before the season even fully begins. While it falls under the 3rd hazard class, standard safety measures are sufficient, and the liquid formulation is easy to handle without issues like sediment buildup in the tanks.

Practical advice

Stick to the recommended application rate of 0.5–1.0 l/t and ensure your equipment is calibrated correctly. There is no need for multiple treatments; one proper application is enough to secure the crop throughout the germination period. 'Taurt' delivers consistent, professional-grade results that allow you to focus on other aspects of farm management, knowing your seed protection is handled properly.
