Yamato

Reliable crop protection under challenging conditions

When working with "Yamato" in sunflower or wheat fields, you immediately appreciate the combination of active ingredients. The blend of thiophanate-methyl and tetraconazole provides that dual effect where the fungicide tackles two tasks at once: it stops pathogen development on the surface instantly and penetrates deep into the plant tissues. For an agronomist, this means confidence that even during high humidity and the risk of phomopsis or septoria, the yield will not be left unprotected.

Application experience and field logistics

The product comes as an emulsifiable concentrate, which simplifies the preparation of the tank mix. It is crucial to account for the dosage—it is quite significant, over 4.0 L/ha—so planning the logistics of water supply and sprayer filling in advance is essential, especially for large areas. We typically perform no more than two applications per season, strictly observing the 30-day pre-harvest interval. This is the optimal timing to ensure the crop clears the residue while the protection remains maximally effective.

• Versatility: acts as both a systemic and contact fungicide simultaneously.
• Spectrum: effectively covers anthracnose, white and gray rot, and cercospora leaf spot.
• Safety: classified as a Class 2 hazard, requiring strict adherence to safety protocols when handling chemicals.

In the field, "Yamato" from Isagro S.p.A. demonstrates excellent adhesion. Even if a light rain occurs a few hours after application, wash-off is minimal. It is a workhorse for those accustomed to taking complete control of the phytosanitary situation during the early and mid-vegetative stages of sugar beets or soybeans.
