Pictor

Double-Action Defense for Oilseed Crops

Protecting sunflowers and winter oilseed rape requires precision and reliability. Piktor, developed by BASF SE, stands out in the fungicide market by combining two potent active ingredients: boscalid (carboxamides) and dimoxystrobin (strobilurins). This synergy effectively blocks the metabolic processes of fungal pathogens, providing robust protection against sclerotinia, phoma, and alternaria.

Why choose Piktor for your fields?

• Comprehensive Control: The combination of systemic components ensures that the fungicide doesn't just act on the surface but travels within the plant tissue, protecting even newly developed leaves and stems.
• Physio-Efficiency: Beyond disease control, Piktor optimizes the plant's nitrogen metabolism, fostering greater tolerance to environmental stressors like heat or drought, which ultimately leads to better yield stability.
• Proven Reliability: With a recommended application rate of up to 0.5 l/ha, it offers an efficient way to manage fungal risks throughout the growing season, preventing crop loss from grey and white rot.

Strategic Application

Piktor is designed for professionals who prioritize yield quality and marketability. It is particularly effective when applied preventively, especially under high infection pressure. With a maximum of two applications allowed per season and a 30-day pre-harvest interval, it provides a flexible yet rigorous defense mechanism. As a suspension concentrate, it is easy to handle, though standard 3rd-class hazard protocols for safety should be strictly observed during application. For farmers looking to maximize their oilseed output, Piktor serves as a cornerstone for a balanced plant protection program.
