Efficient fungal protection for winter oilseed rape with Berkut e.c.

When managing winter oilseed rape, the primary challenge for agronomists is effectively controlling fungal diseases that can compromise yields before harvest. The fungicide "Berkut e.c.", containing tebuconazole, serves as a proven systemic tool for preventing and treating the most common crop diseases. Its ability to quickly integrate into plant tissues makes it a reliable choice for long-lasting protection.

Key targets in field practice

This formulation is specifically engineered to combat a spectrum of pathogens that threaten the development of winter rape:

• Alternaria leaf spot: prevents pod shattering and seed quality degradation.
• Phoma stem canker: protects the root neck and stems from critical necrosis.
• Cylindrosporium: suppresses infections across all aerial parts of the plant.

Practically, Berkut is applied both as a preventive measure and upon the first observation of symptoms. As a systemic fungicide, it ensures that the active ingredient reaches all parts of the plant, preventing hidden infections from spreading.

Operational guidelines

To maximize the performance of the product, farming operations should adhere to the following parameters:

• Application rate: 0.5 to 1 liter per hectare.
• Number of treatments: 1–2 per season.
• Pre-harvest interval (PHI): 30 days.

The product is classified as a category 3 substance, requiring standard precautions for safe handling and application. The dosage flexibility allows for adjustments based on the specific phytosanitary situation in the field and local weather patterns. By incorporating this fungicide into a well-timed protection schedule, farmers can effectively shield their winter rape from significant economic damage caused by fungal complexes.
