Fumikom

Advanced Seed Protection for Winter Crops

Seed treatment is the cornerstone of a successful harvest. "Fumikom" by the German manufacturer "Stefes" is designed for agronomists who demand more than just standard protection. By combining three active ingredients from different chemical classes, this fungicide offers a robust defense against soil-borne and seed-borne pathogens that standard mono-component products often miss.

Field Application and Scenarios

The primary value of "Fumikom" lies in its total control of root and crown rot complexes. It is an essential tool for wheat and barley producers facing the following challenges:

• Early Infection Control: Efficiently targets Helminthosporium and Fusarium root rots, which can compromise crops before they even emerge.
• Seed Decay Prevention: Essential for fields prone to mold during wet autumn sowing conditions, ensuring the integrity of the seed embryo.
• Systemic Shielding: Beyond initial contact, its systemic properties protect emerging shoots from early-season Septoria, ensuring higher stand uniformity.

Technical Performance

The formulation of an emulsion for seed dressing ensures uniform coating of every seed, preventing missed spots during automated planting. With an application rate of 0.5–1.0 L/t, the product provides flexibility, allowing farmers to adjust rates based on local phytosanitary soil conditions and infection pressure. As a Class 3 hazard material, it remains user-friendly for farm personnel while meeting high German manufacturing standards. Using "Fumikom" means securing the crop's potential from the very first day in the field, providing a clean start for high-yielding varieties.
