Split Duo

Double strike against pathogens: the efficiency of Split Duo

When fields face multiple threats simultaneously — from powdery mildew to phoma — a single-target strategy becomes a luxury. The fungicide Split Duo by Defenda is built on the synergy of two powerful active ingredients: azoxystrobin and difenoconazole. This combination bridges two classes of fungicides — strobilurins and triazoles — making it a broad-spectrum tool for professional plant protection.

Why agronomists choose this solution

The core strength of Split Duo is its combination of systemic and contact action. The contact component creates a protective shield on the leaf surface, preventing spore germination, while the systemic component penetrates the plant tissue to stop fungal growth at early infection stages. This is crucial for crops where reaction speed is vital for yield: soybeans, sunflowers, rapeseed, and sugar beets.

• Broad-spectrum control: The product effectively manages Alternaria, anthracnose, downy mildew, Septoria, Cercospora, and Phomopsis.
• Flexible dosage: The application rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, allowing growers to adapt the dosage to the infection pressure without overspending during prophylactic treatments.
• Long-lasting effect: The suspension concentrate formulation ensures superior adhesion and retention of active ingredients on the foliage, even under challenging weather conditions.

This fungicide is an optimal choice for farms practicing intensive cultivation of oilseeds and industrial crops.

Classified as hazard class 3, the product is manageable under standard safety regulations, simplifying operational procedures for farm staff.
