Istochnik

The triazole synergy in the 'Istochnik' fungicide

The efficacy of the 'Istochnik' fungicide from 'Badvasі' is rooted in the combination of two active substances: triadimefon and flutriafol. This provides a robust systemically active barrier, ensuring that plants are protected from within while controlling surface infections.

Core technical insights:

• Flutriafol: known for its high systemic mobility, it moves acropetally through plant tissues. This is crucial for protecting not only the leaves present at the time of application but also the new growth that emerges later.
• Triadimefon: acts as a potent companion, inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis within fungal cells, which effectively halts the development of mycelium and spores.

This dual-action approach makes the product highly effective against a broad range of pathogens including septoria, powdery mildew, rhynchosporium, and scab. It is specifically engineered for crops like winter wheat, barley, sugar beets, and apple orchards.

Application and performance

Formulated as a suspension concentrate, 'Istochnik' ensures excellent stability and uniform coverage in the spray tank. With application rates ranging from 0.5 to 4.0 L/ha, it allows farmers to adjust their defense strategy based on the specific pressure of the pathogen in the field. The product allows for up to two applications per season, offering flexibility in integrated pest management. Classified under hazard class 3, it is an efficient, manageable solution for modern intensive farming when adhering to standard safety protocols.
