Fulgor: Dutch-Engineered Systemic Protection for Crops

In modern intensive agriculture, the threat of fungal diseases like septoria or powdery mildew requires a reliable and swift intervention. Produced by the Dutch company F. Simonis B.V. Barneveld, Fulgor represents a proven solution in crop protection, leveraging the systemic power of flutriafol to secure your harvest.

Why Fulgor stands out

Unlike many basic fungicides that merely act on the surface, Fulgor offers a dual-action approach: it provides immediate contact protection while penetrating the vascular system of the plant. This internal mobility is essential, as it ensures that new growth remains protected even after the spraying application has concluded.

• Rapid Translocation: Flutriafol is known for its quick distribution within plant tissues, stopping pathogen development almost immediately upon contact.
• Versatility: It is equally effective on cereals (winter and spring wheat) and industrial crops like forage beets, simplifying inventory management.
• Broad-Spectrum Control: It effectively neutralizes major threats including phoma, cercospora, and rhynchosporium.

Practical Application Insights

For optimal results, the application rate should range between 0.5 and 0.75 L/ha, depending on the crop growth stage and disease pressure. A maximum of two treatments per season is recommended to maintain efficacy. With a 30-day pre-harvest interval, Fulgor is safe for application in various development stages, ensuring your crops are protected until the final stages of growth.

Pros & Cons: The main advantage is the high fumigant activity of the active ingredient, which allows the product to target pathogens in dense foliage. On the flip side, as with all triazoles, strict adherence to the dosage is critical; exceeding the recommended rate can cause growth suppression in younger plants. Therefore, it is ideal for commercial farms that prioritize a balance between therapeutic impact and long-term prevention.

Fulgor is the right choice for agronomists who need a dependable, all-around fungicide that works efficiently across different plant species without the need for constant, complicated tank mixes.
