Premier Gold

Crop Protection Start: Using Premer Gold

When dealing with winter crops or potatoes, you realize that successful seed treatment isn't just about germination; it's about the crop's 'durability reserve' during the critical growth stage. In our operations, Premer Gold by 'Kemiline Agro' has proven itself to be a reliable tool with predictable performance.

Why we chose this treatment

The main active ingredient is imidacloprid. It is a classic in pest control, yet it works gently here without suppressing young seedlings. What we, as farmers, value most is that the product comes as an aqueous solution. This simplifies tank mixing—no issues with solubility, clogged sprayer nozzles, or sediment in the seed treatment equipment. Consumption is consistent, allowing for precise hectare-based calculations without waste.

Threat Control: What actually works

My experience shows that Premer Gold provides excellent protection in the first few weeks after sowing:

• Insect Pests: Wireworms and ground beetles are the bane of our fields. After applying this treatment, their activity at the start is minimized. Flea beetles and cereal flies also stay clear of the crops.
• Diseases: Fusarium and root rots, which often consume yield potential before the shoots reach the surface, are virtually non-existent after seed treatment.

It is important to note the Hazard Class 2 rating, so we always use personal protective equipment and stick to the dosage. Since we apply it to barley, wheat, and rapeseed, following the regulations is key—when seeds are prepared correctly, the product adheres firmly to the grain and does not shed when loaded into seeders.

Practical Recommendations

Do not try to save money by compromising the quality of the working solution preparation. As it is an aqueous solution, ensure the water is clean. The product is not fussy, but like any pesticide, it appreciates clean equipment. Over the season, I have never encountered the solution separating or causing blockages in the feed system. For farms planning long-term seed storage, this solution is one of the most reliable ways to preserve germination energy and protect future yields at their most vulnerable stage.
