Alpha Tebuzol

Systemic Protection for Rapeseed: How Alfa Tebuzol Operates

The core of the fungicide «Alfa Tebuzol» is tebuconazole, a triazole-class active ingredient. Unlike contact-based agents, this systemic fungicide penetrates plant tissues within 2–4 hours of application, moving rapidly through the xylem. This is critical for rapeseed protection, as pathogens like phoma and alternaria often cause internal stem damage that standard surface treatments cannot address.

Dosing and Application Efficiency

Supplied as a suspension concentrate, the product ensures high stability within the spray tank. Recommended application rates range from 0.5 to 1 liter per hectare, depending on the severity of the infection:

• At moderate infection levels or for phoma prevention, 0.5 L/ha is sufficient.
• Under high humidity conditions with a significant risk of alternaria, the rate should be increased to 1 L/ha.

Technical Benefits

Produced by F.Meaton Limited (London), this fungicide offers a distinct growth-regulating (retardant) effect. When applied to winter rapeseed, tebuconazole suppresses apical dominance in the autumn, encouraging deeper root development and boosting overall winter hardiness. During spring application, the product effectively inhibits cylindrosporium development by blocking spore germination on leaf and stem surfaces, providing a robust shield for the crop.
