Skifer Super

Synergistic Triazole Formulation for Cereal Protection

"Skifer Super" is a systemic fungicide formulated as a suspension concentrate, utilizing the synergistic potential of two triazole active ingredients: propiconazole and cyproconazole. This dual-action approach is designed specifically for intensive cereal production, targeting a wide range of pathogens in both winter and spring wheat and barley.

Technical Mechanism and Field Application

The combination of these active ingredients ensures both contact-based suppression of surface spores and systemic protection through translaminar movement within the plant tissue. Propiconazole acts by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, effectively stalling fungal mycelium development. Cyproconazole enhances this by providing rapid uptake and movement, which is particularly effective in shielding the spike against fusarium head blight and various rust infections.

• Spectrum of Control: The fungicide shows high efficacy against complex spotting diseases including pyrenophora leaf blotch and rhynchosporium, as well as septoria and powdery mildew.
• Application Parameters: With a recommended dosage of 0.4–0.5 l/ha, the formulation forms a stable working solution that maximizes coverage. Its physical characteristics allow for efficient adhesion to the leaf surface, ensuring consistent performance.
• Crop Safety and Scheduling: The product allows for up to two applications per growing season. A 30-day pre-harvest interval ensures that the crop is protected through its critical growth stages while meeting safety requirements.

Produced by Jiangsu Institute of Ecomones Ltd and Jiangsu Agrochem Laboratory Ltd, China, this fungicide undergoes rigorous formulation standards to ensure stability in the tank and reliability under varying field conditions. Its classification and systemic nature make it a versatile tool for integrated pest management in large-scale cereal farming.
