SELEST MAX 165 FS

Synergetic Formulation: The Chemistry of Celest Max 165 FS

Crop protection begins long before the first shoot appears. Celest Max 165 FS leverages a sophisticated three-component formula designed to provide an impenetrable barrier against both biotic stressors and soil-borne threats for winter and spring cereals.

• Thiamethoxam: A systemic neonicotinoid insecticide that provides long-term protection against wireworms and early-season pests like flea beetles and ground beetles. Its mobility within the plant tissues ensures systemic immunity during the most vulnerable germination phase.
• Fludioxonil: A phenylpyrrole fungicide that acts as a robust contact barrier. It is exceptionally effective against seed-borne pathogens that cause Fusarium root rot and seed decay, effectively sterilizing the immediate environment around the seed.
• Tebuconazole: A triazole fungicide that provides deep systemic control. By penetrating into the seed, it effectively eliminates internal infections, specifically targeting common bunt and Helminthosporium root rot.

Technical Performance and Application

The product is supplied as a flowable suspension concentrate, ensuring excellent adherence to the seed coat. This physical characteristic minimizes the risk of dust-off during seed handling and planting, providing a consistent dose of active ingredients per seed. With a recommended application rate of 1.5–2 L/t, the product balances high-efficacy protection with operational efficiency.

As a systemic treatment, the components are absorbed as the seed imbibes water, ensuring that the protection develops alongside the seedling. The 3rd hazard class profile and the single-application requirement make it a practical, standardized solution for large-scale agricultural operations.

Global Manufacturing Standards

As a product of SYNGENTA Crop Protection AG, quality control is paramount. Whether sourced from the manufacturing facilities in Belgium, France, the USA, or elsewhere, the formulation consistency of Celest Max 165 FS remains at the highest global standards. This ensures that the 165 g/L of active ingredients perform exactly as expected in the field, season after season.
