SUPRIM 400 EV

Why SUPRIM 400 EW has become the gold standard in seed treatment

In the seed protection market, choosing a fungicide is always about balancing an aggressive start with seedling safety. The Israeli fungicide SUPRIM 400 EW by F.Makhteshim Chemical Works stands out from competitors due to its combined formula, integrating prochloraz and tebuconazole. This synergy allows for a comprehensive approach to pathogen control: where one component falls short, the other takes over.

A double blow to infection

The core feature of this product is its dual contact and systemic action. Prochloraz creates a protective barrier directly on the surface of the seed coat, eliminating infection upon contact. Tebuconazole, meanwhile, penetrates the seed, providing long-term protection for the sprout against soil-borne pathogens and seed-borne diseases.

• Broad-spectrum efficiency: The product works flawlessly against a complex of root rots, septoria, alternaria, phoma, and snow mold.
• Stability: The emulsion formulation ensures high-quality seed coverage without dusting, which is critical for uniform treatment.
• Cost-effectiveness: A dosage rate of 1.5–2 l/t allows for cost optimization while maintaining high biological efficacy.

Who is this solution for?

SUPRIM 400 EW is the choice for agronomists working with winter crops (wheat, barley, rapeseed) and fodder beet. It should be prioritized when fields have high infectious pressure, such as sowing after stubble, where the risk of root rot development is at its peak. The product is forgiving of minor technological errors in seed treatment due to the high stability of its emulsion, though it requires strict adherence to regulations—only one application per season.

It is important to remember: this is a powerful tool with a Class 3 hazard rating. Handling requires strict adherence to safety protocols, but in return, you get a clean start for your crops, which is critical for winter survival. SUPRIM 400 EW does more than just protect; it allows the plant to focus its energy on root system development rather than struggling against fungal attacks during the early growth stages.
