Protecting Canola and Sunflower Crops

"Polygard" by "Agrokhimichni Tekhnolohii" is a systemic fungicide that has become an essential tool in agronomic practice for protecting winter oilseed rape and sunflower. Based on the active ingredient tebuconazole (250 g/L), this product is valued for its dual action: it effectively controls a wide range of fungal pathogens while acting as a plant growth regulator.

Field Application Scenarios

For winter oilseed rape, Polygard is often used in two critical stages. An autumn application at the 4-6 leaf stage is standard practice; it not only protects the young plants from phoma, alternaria, and cylindrosporium but also inhibits excessive leaf growth, strengthening the root collar for a successful winter season. In spring, it helps maintain the health of the foliage, preventing disease outbreaks that could compromise yield.

In sunflower fields, Polygard is the go-to solution against white and gray rot, phomopsis, and powdery mildew. Its systemic nature allows the fungicide to move through the plant tissues, providing protection to new growth that develops after the spray application.

Key Operational Guidelines

• Application Rate: 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, adjusted based on the current phytosanitary state of the fields.
• Frequency: Up to 2 treatments per season, allowing for flexible disease management strategy.
• Formulation: Emulsion concentrate ensures excellent solubility and adhesion to the leaf surface, which is critical for systemic uptake.

By integrating Polygard into the crop protection strategy, farmers can significantly mitigate the impact of fungal diseases. As a class 3 hazard substance, it requires standard protective measures during handling, but its proven efficacy and reliability make it a staple in intensive cultivation programs.
