Sunkar

Why Sunkar is a Strategic Choice for Intensive Farming

When protecting winter wheat, growers often face a choice: localize the problem or take proactive measures. The "Sunkar" fungicide from "Kartal Pro" is a strategic solution for those who refuse to risk yield losses due to fungal infections. The synergy of two potent active ingredients—azoxystrobin and cyproconazole—takes this product far beyond the capabilities of standard contact fungicides.

A Double Strike Against Pathogens

The product combines representatives of two chemical classes: strobilurins and triazoles. What is the benefit of this combination? Azoxystrobin provides a powerful preventive effect by inhibiting fungal respiration, while cyproconazole penetrates deep into plant tissues to halt existing infections and provide curative action.

• Wide spectrum of control: Sunkar is effective against high-risk diseases, including all types of rust (brown, yellow, stem), Fusarium head blight, Septoria, powdery mildew, and tan spot (Pyrenophora).
• Systemic activity: As a suspension concentrate, the product quickly redistributes within plant tissues, protecting even the areas that were not directly reached during application.
• Flexible dosage: The application rate varies from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, allowing growers to adjust treatment intensity based on the phytosanitary conditions of the field.

Strengths and Considerations

The primary strength of Sunkar is its ability to not only suppress pathogens but also exert a clear physiological effect on wheat by extending the photosynthesis period. It is a classic tool for achieving the "green effect," which directly contributes to increased grain mass. However, it is crucial to note that the maximum number of treatments is limited to two per season. This requires careful planning of the spraying schedule. The product is categorized as toxicity class 3, necessitating standard safety precautions during field operations.

This fungicide is optimal for commercial farms utilizing intensive technologies, where the objective is not just to prevent disease but to maximize the genetic potential of the crop during the final stages of vegetation.
