Kinto Duo

Why professionals choose Kinto Duo

In modern grain production, fighting seed-borne infections starts long before sowing. The Kinto Duo seed treatment from BASF SE is the choice for those who do not compromise between protecting future yields and the physiological health of seedlings. The uniqueness of the product lies in the synergy of two active substances: prochloraz and triticonazole.

A double blow to pathogens

The main advantage of Kinto Duo is the combination of contact and systemic action. While many products work either on the surface of the seed or inside it, this fungicide provides a full perimeter of protection:

• Prochloraz creates a reliable barrier around the grain, effectively eliminating pathogens responsible for smut diseases and seed mold.
• Triticonazole possesses high systemic activity, penetrating the seedling to suppress the development of root rots and leaf blotches at the earliest stages.

This approach makes Kinto Duo a powerful tool against a broad spectrum of diseases in winter and spring wheat, as well as winter barley. It is indispensable for fields with a high infection background or in tight sowing schedules when the seedling needs rapid, reliable protection.

Benefits for the agronomist

Unlike simpler formulations, Kinto Duo does not suppress the growth processes of crops. On the contrary, it ensures uniform emergence, which is critical for forming a productive stand. The suspension concentrate formulation guarantees excellent adhesion and uniform coverage of the grain during treatment.

It is important to note: maximum effectiveness is achieved with a dosage of 2–2.5 l/t. Since the product belongs to hazard class 3, standard safety measures must be followed during application. A single treatment is sufficient to provide protection during the critical initial stage of crop development.

Kinto Duo provides the assurance that the potential embedded in the seed is realized in the field, rather than being wasted on fighting fungal threats.
