Mode of action
Acetamiprid is a neonicotinoid with a contact enteric action and systemic activity. It effectively protects seeds, roots, rhizosphere and seedlings against soil-dwelling and surface pests by means of a rapid toxic effect. It ensures long-term protection by penetrating plant tissues as it grows.
Acetamiprid blocks nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the nervous system, thus interfering with the synaptic nerve impulse transmission, and the insect dies due to surexcitation.
Prochloraz is an imidazole. It has a pronounced contact and local systemic action. It eliminates fungal infection on the surface of seeds, which affects the seed cover and aleurone layer. It decontaminates the soil around the seedbed by means of long-term fungicidal activity. Prochloraz is a substance most effective against soil infections, including Fusarium spp. and Microdochium nivale. The mode of action involves inhibition of sterol biosynthesis in fungal cell membranes.
Tebuconazole is a third-generation triazole with the broadest spectrum of action against phytopathogens. It has a systemic translocating action, with protective, eradicating and curative properties. It is effective against surface and intraseed infections. It penetrates roots and seedlings as they grow and protects them from air-borne infections. It shows high mobility in plants and provides a quick onset of action.
Tebuconazole inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol in pathogen cell membranes by suppressing C14 demethylation. The synthesis of D5-sterols also has an effect on metabolism, which distinguishes the active substance from other triazoles.
Pyraclostrobin is a strobilurin. It has a contact and in-depth action. It is securely attached to the treated surface and reliably protects the space around the seed. Some molecules get inside quickly, while others are released gradually and provide long-term protection. It is a potent antisporulant that blocks the growth of mycelium. It inhibits mitochondrial respiration of fungal pathogens. As a result, it significantly reduces the cellular energy (ATP) required to maintain pathogen vital functions, ultimately leading to their death.
It works best as a preventive measure.
It actively influences the biological and physiological reactions of cereal crops, resulting in the green leaf effect, increased mass and improved grain quality.
Protective effect period
As a fungicide: from sprouting till stem elongation
As an insecticide: from seed sprouting till tillering
Rate of exposure
Quick initial activity: the effect starts immediately after the treatment of seeds. The product penetrates the seedlings and spreads evenly throughout plants during their growth and development, immediately blocking the disease. The death of pests occurs after contact with seeds or feeding on seedlings and plants.
