Seed Treatment Professionalism: Testing the "Fire" Fungicide

Effective seed treatment for winter rapeseed and sunflower is essential for high yields. The "Fire" systemic fungicide provides a robust defense against soil-borne and seed-borne pathogens. The formulation, which includes thiabendazole, thiram, and metalaxyl-M, offers a comprehensive approach to crop protection during the early development stages.

Application and Performance

In practice, the emulsified formulation works seamlessly with seed treatment machinery. It provides excellent coverage on the seed surface without excessive dusting, which is a significant advantage for maintaining calibration accuracy in commercial seed treating equipment. The application rate is typically between 2.0 and 3.0 liters per ton, which has proven sufficient for providing systemic protection across various planting conditions.

Key Pathogen Control

• Prevention of seed decay and various rots (white, gray, seed molding).
• Protection against Phomopsis, Phoma leaf spot, and Alternaria.
• Control of downy mildew (peronosporosis).

The 3rd hazard class classification indicates that standard safety procedures are sufficient for handling and application, making the logistical side of field preparation much more manageable.

International Manufacturing Standards

The product is a result of a joint effort between Hungary’s "Peters and Burg Kft." and Chinese manufacturers "Yangzhou National Chemical Westjong Company" and "Zhejiang Jinfanda Biochemical Co., Ltd." As the Ukrainian applicant, "Nertus Ltd." provides the necessary regulatory oversight and support. This international collaboration ensures that the product meets necessary technical specifications for high-performance agriculture.
