Fujara 45

Professional cereal protection: leveraging Fujara 45

For agronomists managing winter wheat and barley crops, controlling fungal diseases that threaten yields during early growth stages is paramount. Fujara 45, produced by Certis Belchim B.V., serves as a high-performance systemic and contact fungicide designed to target complex infection pressures in small grain cereals.

Field Application Scenarios

The core of this product is prochloraz, an imidazole-based active ingredient known for its ability to penetrate plant tissues and provide durable protection. Fujara 45 is primarily selected for its efficacy in the following field scenarios:

• Early-Season Disease Control: It is highly effective against powdery mildew and septoria, helping to maintain the health of the lower leaf canopy during the vegetative phase.
• Management of Root and Stem Bases: The fungicide offers significant control over eyespot (cercosporella), helminthosporium, and various fusarium root rots. This makes it an essential tool for farms dealing with high infection risks, particularly in fields with heavy crop residue or shortened crop rotations.
• Curative and Protective Action: The contact properties create a barrier on the leaf surface, while the systemic nature of the active ingredient stops the development of mycelium deep within the plant tissues.

Operational Guidelines

Fujara 45 is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, ensuring superior coverage and resistance to wash-off. Key parameters for application include:

• Application Rate: 1.0 – 2.0 L/ha, depending on the specific disease pressure and crop density.
• Treatment Frequency: A maximum of 2 applications per season is permitted.
• Pre-harvest Interval (PHI): A 30-day waiting period before harvest is mandatory to ensure safety and residue compliance.

As a category 3 hazard product, proper handling and PPE protocols are required during application. By incorporating Fujara 45 into a structured anti-resistance management program, growers can effectively mitigate the impacts of root pathogens and leaf spot diseases, securing healthier, more resilient cereal crops throughout the season.
