Innovation in seed treatment: forget about early foliar fungicide applications

«Sistiva» from BASF SE is not just a standard seed treatment; it is a revolutionary solution that changes the very philosophy of cereal crop protection. Unlike traditional products that lose efficacy shortly after germination, the Fluxapyroxad in this systemic fungicide provides prolonged protection from sowing until the stem elongation stage.

Why it changes the game:

• Save on your first application: It eliminates the need for early foliar fungicide spraying by protecting crops against net blotch, powdery mildew, and scald starting from the seedling stage.
• The power of Fluxapyroxad: This molecule offers exceptional mobility within plant tissues and provides a powerful physiological effect, stimulating robust root development.
• Soil pathogen control: It effectively suppresses common root rot and dwarf bunt, issues that often overwhelm standard contact-only alternatives.

Who is this solution for?

This product is optimal for farms looking to optimize labor during the peak spring season. If your strategy is to reduce the number of tractor passes across the field while ensuring uniform, healthy emergence even in conditions of high early disease pressure, «Sistiva» is your primary tool. The product comes in a suspension concentrate formulation, is easy to handle, and requires only one application, minimizing human error during treatment. Please note: the product falls under hazard class 3, so strict adherence to the application rate (0.75–1.5 l/ha) is essential for both human safety and yield security.
