Winter wheat protection program
Winter wheat protection program from field preparation to harvest: herbicides, seed treatment, fungicides, insecticides, growth regulators and desiccation. The program is built by active ingredient; rates are given for a product with the stated a.i. content. Our agronomist will select specific products from the catalog.
