Duncan

Reliable Grain Protection: A Comprehensive Approach by Vitagro

In modern intensive agriculture, where seed and soil-borne pathogens can destroy up to 30% of a crop at the germination stage, choosing the right seed treatment is a critical economic decision. "Duncan," developed by the Vitagro Group of Companies, is a dual-component systemic and contact fungicide designed specifically for the needs of Ukrainian farmers.

The uniqueness of this preparation lies in the combination of two active ingredients—carbendazim and flutriafol. This synergy allows the product to not only suppress surface infections but also penetrate the deep layers of the seed, providing prolonged protection for emerging sprouts.

Effectiveness and Application

The product is focused on cereal crops, including winter and spring wheat, barley, oats, and rye. Its action targets a wide range of pathogens, such as:

• Various types of root rot: Helminthosporium and Fusarium root rot;
• Stinking smut, which can significantly reduce the market value of grain batches;
• Powdery mildew and septoria during the early stages of vegetation;
• A complex of fungal diseases causing seed mold.

The emulsion formulation for seed dressing ensures uniform coverage, which is crucial when using modern high-speed seed treatment machines. The application rate varies from 0.5 to 1.0 l/ha, depending on the phytosanitary condition of the planting material and the projected infection pressure.

Why Farmers Choose Duncan

Stability is the main market advantage of Duncan. As a systemic fungicide, it not only sanitizes the seed surface but also protects the secondary root system during the first weeks of the plant's life. Classified as a 3rd-grade hazard, the product is relatively safe for personnel when work protocols are followed. Furthermore, the option of up to two treatments allows for flexible protection management.

The product from Vitagro Group is a choice in favor of a proven formulation adapted to the climatic realities of Ukraine. Utilizing this plant protection product minimizes the risks of losing crop density and builds a strong foundation for realizing the potential of the variety right from the start of the season.
