Sferico

Optimized Seed Protection for Pulses

Field success for soybean and pea crops begins long before the drills hit the soil. Environmental stress, such as cold or overly damp soil, can turn seeds into easy targets for soil-borne pathogens. Spherico, a high-performance fungicide by ADAMA Makhteshim Ltd. (Israel), provides the technical edge required to secure a uniform, healthy stand from day one.

The Power of Dual-Action Protection

Spherico utilizes the active ingredient Fludioxonil, belonging to the phenylpyrroles class, to create an impenetrable shield around the seed. By combining contact and systemic modes of action, the product offers a holistic solution against seed-borne and early-season soil-borne diseases.

• Target Spectrum: Specifically formulated to combat Fusarium root rot, downy mildew (peronosporosis), ascochyta blight, and seed molding.
• Application Versatility: The emulsion-based formulation ensures excellent coverage, essential for high-capacity seed treating equipment used in modern farming.
• Economical Efficiency: With a recommended dosage of 1–2 liters per ton, Spherico balances high-tier protection with cost-effective per-hectare input costs.

Operational Benefits

Practically, Spherico is designed for producers aiming for maximum seedling density. By eliminating fungal pressure during the vulnerable germination phase, it allows the crop to focus energy on root development rather than disease recovery. Whether utilizing no-till or conventional tillage systems, the efficacy of this product remains consistent. Adhering to the single-application protocol and standard safety procedures for Category 3 chemicals, farmers can rely on Spherico as a cornerstone of their pre-plant seed treatment strategy.
