Tiomax

Systemic Protection for a Wide Range of Crops

"Tioma" is a fungicide based on thiophanate-methyl, which has become a reliable staple in crop and orchard protection. Its key advantage is systemic activity: the product rapidly penetrates plant tissues, working from within to halt pathogen development at both early and intermediate stages of infection.

Application Scenarios in Field and Orchard Management

• Cereals (winter wheat, barley): The primary use here is the control of Fusarium head blight and Cercosporella foot rot. In intensive farming, "Tioma" is often used as a core component, ensuring long-lasting protection that prevents lodging and helps maintain grain quality.
• Technical Crops (rapeseed): This fungicide is essential for combating Phoma stem canker and Alternaria blight. Agronomists value it for its application flexibility throughout the season, within the limit of three treatments.
• Vineyards and Orchards: The product effectively manages powdery mildew outbreaks in vineyards, as well as Monilinia fruit rot and powdery mildew in apple orchards. Its systemic nature ensures protection even for plant parts that may have been missed during spraying.

Practical Tips for Agronomists

The product is formulated as a suspension concentrate, making it easy to prepare the tank mix. The dosage ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on the phytosanitary conditions and the specific crop. As "Tioma" is classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, standard safety precautions must be followed during application. The systemic effect allows for both preventive and curative action, blocking fungal cell division within hours of application. For optimal results, it is recommended to adhere to the maximum treatment frequency (no more than three times per season) and rotate with fungicides that have different modes of action to prevent the development of resistance.
