Retardin

Comprehensive protection for winter crops

"Retardin" is a systemic fungicide based on tebuconazole, designed to protect winter wheat and winter rapeseed from a wide range of fungal infections. By inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis in fungal cells, it provides both curative and prophylactic properties, effectively stopping the development of pathogens at various growth stages.

Field Application and Strategy

For farm management, "Retardin" serves as a reliable tool to prevent yield losses caused by diseases such as rusts, septoria, phoma, and alternaria. Key operational data include:

• Target Crops: Winter wheat, winter rapeseed.
• Dosage: Up to 0.5 l/ha, ensuring efficient coverage of the plant canopy.
• Treatment Frequency: Maximum of 2 applications per growing season.
• Safety Window: A 50-day pre-harvest interval (PHI) must be strictly observed.

The formulation in water-dispersible granules makes it easy to integrate into tank mixes, simplifying the logistics of crop protection operations. In winter wheat fields, it is particularly effective against brown leaf rust and septoria, while on rapeseed, it provides critical control of phoma and cylindrosporiosis, ensuring plant vigor and yield stability.

Why use systemic fungicides?

With a hazard class of 3, "Retardin" is a standard and manageable solution for professional agriculture. The systemic nature of the fungicide means it moves throughout the plant tissues, offering protection even to parts of the crop that were not directly hit by the sprayer. By choosing a triazole-based solution, farmers ensure that their crops are guarded against sudden outbreaks of fungal diseases, maintaining high quality and quantity of harvest.
