Reliable crop start: practical experience with Egzor seed treatment

During the sowing season, the primary goal is uniform and healthy emergence. Leaving seeds exposed to soil pests is a gamble that most agronomists cannot afford. My experience with Egzor from Ukravit Science Park demonstrates that systemic control at the early stages is 100% worthwhile.

Why choose this product

The main active ingredient is thiamethoxam. It is valued for its powerful systemic action: it does not merely coat the seed but is absorbed into the seedling. When wireworms or ground beetles attack young wheat or corn, the product instantly disrupts their nervous system. Consequently, the pest perishes, while the crop continues to grow safely.

Application and usage rates

Egzor is formulated as a suspension concentrate. It is user-friendly, mixes well with water, and does not clog the nozzles of seed treatment machines, which is critical during the busy sowing period.

• Effective Dosage: application rates range from 0.5 to 1.0 L/t for seed treatment and up to 2.0 L/ha when targeting terrestrial pests.
• Threat Mitigation: I use it for protecting winter barley and wheat, sunflower, and corn. It performs excellently against aphids, leafhoppers, and cereal flies that often decimate crops at the 2-3 leaf stage.
• Systemic Action: The contact-systemic mechanism of action provides protection not only for the root system but also for the emerging plant parts during critical growth stages.

Important note: As a Class 3 hazard substance, it requires standard safety precautions, but the product is not excessively toxic when protocols are followed. A single application provides peace of mind regarding crop density throughout the entire germination period. The product is predictable and eliminates the need for repeated passes, saving fuel and tractor time.
