Tumen

Protecting Your Yield: The Potential of Tumen Fungicide

In intensive crop production, protecting the seed material is the first critical step toward a successful harvest. Tumen, a seed treatment fungicide developed by the Ukrainian manufacturer Nertus, is designed for growers who rely on the synergy of modern chemical classes to safeguard winter wheat and barley crops.

The formulation of Tumen is based on a powerful combination of azoxystrobin and difenoconazole. By utilizing both strobilurin and triazole groups, the product offers a dual-action approach to disease management. While strobilurins work by inhibiting the mitochondrial respiration of pathogens, triazoles effectively block the ergosterol biosynthesis required for fungal growth. This combination not only eradicates existing infections but also creates a protective barrier around the developing sprout.

Application and Spectrum of Action

Tumen is a systemic fungicide specifically engineered for treating winter cereal seeds. It is particularly valuable in regions where high infection pressure or specific crop rotation cycles lead to the accumulation of pathogens in the soil. The product is effective against:

• Root rot complex (Helminthosporium and Fusarium);
• Various types of smuts;
• Septoria;
• Seed mold.

The emulsion form ensures excellent adhesion to the seed surface, providing uniform coverage even with modern seed treatment machinery. The recommended application rate of 0.5 to 1.0 liters per ton allows for optimized costs while maintaining high biological activity. As a 3rd hazard class product, it meets standard safety requirements for agricultural handling.

Why Tumen by Nertus?

Nertus has established itself as a reliable player in the agricultural market, providing solutions tailored to local climatic and soil conditions. Tumen is designed for single-application usage, ensuring that seedlings can emerge uniformly without early-stage pathogen interference. By choosing this systemic treatment, farmers ensure a strong, healthy start for their crops, making it a preferred choice for those who value predictable results and effective disease control during the most vulnerable phase of plant development.
