Cantarís

Comprehensive armor for cereals

«Kantharis» by Alfa Smart Agro is more than just a seed treatment; it is a tool for those who refuse to share their harvest with soil pests and seed-borne infections. Its key differentiator is the combination of three active ingredients (Prochloraz, Thiamethoxam, Flutriafol), working on two fronts simultaneously: eliminating pathogens and deterring insects at the very start of germination.

Why choose this formulation

• Prochloraz effectively suppresses Helminthosporium and Fusarium root rots by penetrating deep into the seed coat.
• Flutriafol provides systemic protection of seedlings against smut diseases and snow mold.
• Thiamethoxam offers reliable control over wireworms and flea beetles, giving the crop a vital 30–40 day advantage after sowing.

The systemic nature of «Kantharis» protects not only the grain but also the developing sprout, which is critical during long, cold springs. The application rate of 0.5–1.0 L/t makes it economically attractive for farms utilizing intensive cultivation technologies for winter and spring wheat.

Usage details

As a suspension concentrate, «Kantharis» requires careful preparation of the working solution to ensure uniform seed coverage. It is vital to note the toxicity level (Class 2): handling requires strict adherence to safety protocols and the use of PPE. A single treatment is sufficient to form a robust defensive foundation for the harvest.

This product is ideal for agronomists aiming to reduce field traffic and looking for an all-in-one solution. Its main limitation is the need for strict dosage control, as over-application under certain weather conditions may temporarily retard the growth energy of young shoots.
