Professional crop protection: field insights on Pictor® Top

When you are managing large acreages of sunflowers, soybeans, or canola, you need a fungicide that delivers results regardless of the pressure. Its unique blend of dimethomorph, boscalid, and pyraclostrobin creates a safety net that protects the crop from the inside out.

Field Application and Performance

From an operator's perspective, the convenience of the suspension concentrate formulation is a major plus. It mixes easily, doesn't clog the sprayer nozzles, and maintains stability in the tank. Efficiency is key during the peak season, and this product doesn't complicate maintenance workflows.

• Application Rates: The flexibility of using 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha allows for precise adjustment based on disease pressure. For preventative measures, the lower rate is sufficient, while a full 1.0 L/ha rate provides the necessary knockout power for diseases like sclerotinia or phomopsis.
• Mode of Action: Combining contact and systemic activity is a game-changer. The contact component acts immediately on current spots, while the systemic action safeguards new growth, which is critical for rapidly developing crops like winter rape.
• Management: With a maximum of 1-2 applications per season, it fits perfectly into any intense crop protection program, minimizing field traffic and machinery downtime.

Although rated at a 3rd danger class, common sense and standard PPE are all you need to handle it safely. The main advantage is the predictability. When you return to the field a few days after application, the foliage is visibly healthier, and the plants are clearly putting their energy into grain filling rather than fighting off fungal stress. It is a workhorse solution that simplifies complex protection tasks.
