Spring cereals protection program
Spring barley and spring wheat protection program from sowing to harvest: seed treatment, herbicides at tillering, fungicides against leaf spots and ear diseases, insecticides and desiccation. Spring cereals have a short growing season, so applications are closer together than in winter crops. 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.
Protection against smuts, root rots, net blotch (barley) and seedling pests.

The main herbicide application — at early weed stages, before the crop reaches stem elongation. Cereal leaf beetle and flea beetles — above the threshold.

Protecting leaves from helminthosporium leaf spots, rhynchosporium, powdery mildew and rust is the basis of spring cereal yield.
| Active ingredient | Form | Product rate | Target / timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fungicide | |||
| Propiconazole, 200 g/L + pyraclostrobin, 167 g/L + boscalid, 133 g/L | EC | 0.5–0.75 L/ha | barley helminthosporium diseases, rhynchosporium |

Fusarium and septoria of the ear reduce yield and grain quality. For malting barley, grain cleanliness is especially important.
| Active ingredient | Form | Product rate | Target / timing |

Important: the program is built by active ingredient. Before use, check rates against the product label and the State Register of Pesticides and Agrochemicals of Ukraine. Our agronomist will select specific products from our catalog for your region, hybrid or variety and the condition of your field.
