Paracels

Comprehensive protection for cereals and beet: the role of Paracels

In modern intensive farming, the choice of a fungicide is driven by the need for both rapid systemic action and reliable residual control. The Paracels fungicide, based on flutriafol, has become a key tool for agronomists managing winter wheat, barley, and fodder beet. Its primary strength lies in its high mobility within the plant tissues, which ensures that the active substance reaches the entire structure, providing protection even to parts not directly hit by the sprayer.

Practical scenarios for field application

Paracels is designed to handle infection outbreaks at early and medium stages, offering a high-efficiency solution for various field tasks:

• Managing fungal diseases in cereals: It is highly effective against powdery mildew, septoria, helminthosporiosis, and rhynchosporiosis. It stops the fungal mycelium growth and offers extended protection, which is vital during the stem elongation stage.
• Protecting fodder beet: The product provides a robust barrier against cercosporosis and phomosis. With adjustable application rates of 0.5–0.7 L/ha, it allows for flexible field management depending on the current phytosanitary pressure.

Technical recommendations for operators

Supplied as a suspension concentrate, Paracels is easy to mix in tank applications. To ensure consistent results, it is recommended to perform 1–2 treatments per season. Being a Class 3 hazard product, standard safety protocols should be strictly followed during handling. A crucial requirement for safety is the pre-harvest interval: a waiting period of 20–30 days before harvest must be maintained to ensure the complete degradation of the active substance within the plants.

Using Paracels represents a cost-effective and reliable approach for farmers who prioritize stable yields and consistent protection against a broad spectrum of fungal threats during the critical vegetative phases.
