Tiatrin

Seed protection strategy: Working with Tiatrin

Securing uniform emergence is the cornerstone of a successful harvest. It acts as a shield, protecting the seed during its most vulnerable stage of development.

The formulation combines Thiamethoxam and Beta-cyfluthrin. While Thiamethoxam provides systemic protection through the plant tissues, Beta-cyfluthrin acts as a powerful contact agent. This dual-action approach ensures that any pest attempting to feed on the emerging seedling is neutralized immediately.

Practical application insights

• Equipment friendliness: As an emulsion, the product is remarkably easy to work with in seed treatment machines. It flows well, does not clog nozzles, and adheres consistently to the seeds. This prevents dust-off and ensures every seed is evenly coated.
• Long-lasting effect: Tiatrin is systemic. A single treatment provides the plants with protection throughout the early stages of growth, allowing them to focus energy on development rather than survival against aphids, flea beetles, or leafhoppers.

It carries a Class 3 hazard rating, so standard safety protocols for handling agrochemicals are sufficient to manage the product safely.
