Systemic fungicide for seed treatment of cereal crops, providing reliable protection against fungal diseases during early growth stages of plants
Patent No. 29188 from 10.01.2008
Active ingredients: Thiabendazole, 80 g/l; Imazalil, 125 g/l; Tebuconazole, 60 g/l
Manufacturer: Peters and Burg Ltd, Hungary
Formulation: Liquid concentrate suspension
Packaging unit: Canister, 5 L
Mode of action
THIABENDAZOLE. Systemic active ingredient (benzimidazole group) that inhibits pathogen cell division. Effective against pathogens causing rust diseases, as well as root rots (helminthosporiosis and fusarium). Due to its translocation into young seedling organs, it protects the crop from diseases of vegetative organs during early growth stages.
IMAZALIL. Systemic active ingredient (imidazole derivatives). Controls helminthosporiosis and fusarium root rots, provides long-term control against airborne infections such as powdery mildew (at early stages) and others.
TEBUCONAZOLE. Systemic active ingredient (triazole group). By disrupting ergosterol synthesis in pathogen cell membranes, it effectively controls rust diseases, protects young plants from helminthosporiosis and fusarium root rots, as well as from septoria during early growth stages. It also has growth-regulating effects.
Characteristics and advantages
Provides reliable protection for seeds and young plants against seed-borne, soil-borne, and airborne infections;
Increases seed germination by eliminating pathogens;
Promotes uniform emergence and healthy plant development;
Stimulates root system development, improving winter survival and growth of crops.
Application recommendations
The fungicide ANTAŁ® cannot compensate for poor seed quality; therefore, for seed treatment, high-quality seed material meeting the following requirements must be used:
absence of foreign contaminants — dust, weed seeds, broken or damaged seeds, plant vegetative residues, etc.;
high germination rate and seed vigor;
seed moisture should be standard (14%) or 1-2% below standard.
Seed treatment should be performed 1-2 weeks before or immediately prior to planting.
For seed treatment, automated seed treatment machines such as Mobitoks and similar models should be used. A low dosage of the product (0.3-0.4 L/t) requires precise machine regulation to ensure complete and uniform coverage of seeds with the active solution.
Preparation of working solution
The working solution should be prepared immediately before seed treatment. To prepare the working solution:
Thoroughly mix the product in the canister.
In the preparation tank (typically 10 L for 1 ton of seeds), dissolve 0.3-0.5 L of the product in 9.7-9.5 L of water respectively.
Mix the solution for 3-5 minutes to obtain a homogeneous suspension.
During seed treatment, carefully monitor the quantity of seeds passing through the treatment chamber and the amount of working solution applied.
