Entargo Duo

Why Entargo Duo is a game-changer in crop protection

In intensive farming, where pathogens evolve rapidly to overcome standard fungicides, relying on a synergistic combination of active ingredients is essential for protecting your ROI. Entargo Duo from BASF S.A. is a prime example of synergy between strobilurins and carboxamides, enhanced by additives for superior penetration. It is not just a fungicide; it is a tool for plant physiological management that combines contact action to suppress spores immediately with systemic action to penetrate deep into the plant tissues.

Key Advantages and Efficacy

The potency of the product lies in the blend of Boscalid and Pyraclostrobin. This combination tackles a wide spectrum of diseases, including those that are notoriously difficult to control, such as Sclerotinia (white mold), Botrytis (gray mold), and various leaf spots (Cercospora, Alternaria). Unlike specialized, narrow-spectrum products, Entargo Duo provides consistent results across crops with different leaf morphologies — from soybeans and sunflowers to fodder beets.

• Dual-action efficacy: systemic properties allow the product to distribute evenly through the vegetative mass, while contact action stops mycelial growth on the surface instantly.
• Physiological benefits: Beyond disease protection, Entargo Duo helps crops endure abiotic stress, which is crucial for winter rapeseed and corn during drought or waterlogging events.
• Operational flexibility: The suspension concentrate formulation ensures excellent solubility and stability of the spray solution, making it highly compatible with standard spraying equipment.

Who is this solution for?

Entargo Duo is the ideal choice for growers following intensive farming protocols, where the cost of failing to control an infection can result in 20–30% yield loss. The product is most effective in a two-application program, allowing for pathogen management during critical growth stages. Given its Class 2 toxicity rating, strict adherence to application protocols and the use of personal protective equipment are mandatory requirements.

With application rates ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, Entargo Duo offers high cost-efficiency, reducing the need for additional passes and significantly improving the overall quality of harvested grain or seeds.
