VinCite Forte SC

Synergy of three components: how Vincit Forte SC works

Seed treatment success relies on the active ingredients' ability to block pathogens at various developmental stages. The Danish fungicide Vincit Forte SC by Cheminova is a comprehensive solution integrating three active agents: flutriafol (triazoles), imazalil (imidazoles), and thiabendazole (benzimidazoles).

Protection Mechanism

• Flutriafol — possesses exceptional mobility within the plant. It penetrates the seed embryo instantly and moves upward as the sprout grows, guarding the crop against smut infections and septoria at early stages.
• Imazalil — a specialist in controlling helminthosporium root rot. It inhibits ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell membranes, halting mycelial growth even deep within the seed.
• Thiabendazole — the key element for suppressing snow mold and fusarium species. Its systemic action creates a robust barrier against soil-borne pathogens.

The combination of these fungicide classes in a concentrated suspension formulation makes the product highly effective against a broad spectrum of diseases: from loose smut to seed mold. Due to its systemic action, the product acts not merely as a surface layer but as a support for the sprout's internal immune system.

Practical Application

For winter wheat, barley, and oats, the application rate is 1.0–2.0 L/t. A single pre-sowing treatment ensures prolonged protection during the critical sprout-emergence period. The concentrated suspension exhibits high adhesion and stability on the grain surface, minimizing losses during transit and sowing. Despite its potent protective properties, the Class 2 hazard rating requires strict adherence to safety protocols when operating seed treatment equipment.
