Mechanism of action
The preparation has a systemic effect. Unlike conventional suspension concentrates (SC, FLO, WSC) enveloping the seed by sticking to its surface, microemulsion penetrates into the internal structure via microcapillaries. The mechanism of action consists in inhibition of ergosterol biosynthesis in cell membranes of phytopathogens and impairment of metabolism, thus causing death of pathogens. Tebuconazole" effect on the entire macro- and microstructure ensures protection against both external and internal infections.
Protective period
Bo-effect lasts from seed sprouting until crop tillering.
Spectrum of action
Anthracnose, Helminthosporium root rot, Fusarium root rot, stone smut, dust-brand, false dust-brand, covered smut, stinking smut, blotch, Helminthosporium blotch, seed molding, Septoria blight, netted spotting, Fusarium snow mold, etc.
Compatibility
Efficient when used alone.
Potential for resistance
The risk of resistance is limited as the preparation is used for pre-planting seed treatment only.
