Veldega 260 EC

German precision in cereal crop protection

"Veldig 260 EC" stands as a hallmark of Bayer's commitment to agricultural innovation. Designed to meet the stringent demands of modern grain production, this systemic fungicide offers a robust defense strategy against the most aggressive fungal threats affecting winter wheat and barley crops in Europe and beyond.

Advanced chemical synergy

The formulation leverages the unique interaction between three active substances: Fluopyram, Bixafen, and Prothioconazole. By combining powerful pyrazolecarboxamides and triazoles, Bayer has created a broad-spectrum solution capable of neutralizing pathogens that have historically been difficult to manage. This multi-site approach is essential for preventing the development of resistance in the field.

Control spectrum

Veldig 260 EC is engineered to address the most critical growth stages of cereals, specifically targeting:

• Leaf diseases: Net blotch, Rhynchosporium, and Tan spot (Pyrenophora);
• Rusts: Specifically Yellow rust;
• Ear and leaf diseases: Septoria (both on leaves and ears) and Fusarium head blight;
• Powdery mildew.

Field performance and technical insights

As a systemic fungicide formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, Veldig 260 EC provides excellent coverage and rapid systemic translocation within the plant tissues. The recommended dosage range of 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha allows for flexibility based on the intensity of the disease pressure. For optimal results and to maintain efficacy over successive seasons, the application is limited to a maximum of two treatments per season. Following the 3rd hazard class safety protocols ensures the protection of both the crops and the environment.
