Redigo Pro is a new combined systemic product. It can be used for pre-sowing treatment of various crops, including peas, wheat, and barley. It is also suitable for other cereal crops. It boasts enhanced fungicidal activity and can eliminate a wide range of pathogens. It is important to strictly follow the instructions for use.
What is included in the composition and dosage form
The product is available as a suspension concentrate. One liter of the product contains two active ingredients: 150 grams of prothioconazole and 20 grams of tebuconazole. The substance belongs to the chemical class of triazoles.
Purpose and mechanism of operation
Redigo Pro is a combined systemic product with enhanced fungicidal properties. It is used to treat winter and spring wheat, corn, and flax seeds. It helps combat a wide range of soil-borne, seed-borne, and airborne infections.
Both active ingredients belong to the triazole class. They inhibit sterol production and disrupt the cell walls of pathogenic microorganisms. The compound has systemic properties and penetrates the seed and then the root system. As the plants grow, the active ingredients spread throughout the plant.
The main advantages of the substance include the following:
- diffuse effect of two active components;
- providing long-lasting protection due to the rapid onset of tebuconazole and the persistent effect of prothioconazole;
- synergistic effect of molecules on pathogens due to the systemic effect and compatibility of two molecules;
- pronounced biological effect on root rot;
- a wide range of pathology control;
- possibility of use for legumes;
- absence of phytotoxicity for plants and nodule bacteria;
- long protective period – the substance acts from the moment the seed germination occurs until the plant emerges into the tube;
- minimal risk of developing resistance - this is relevant if the standards for using the substance are observed;
- high-quality coloring of seed material.
Instructions for use
Before use, the suspension concentrate must be mixed with the required volume of water. The application rate is the same for all crops treated with the seed dressing: 0.45-0.55 liters per ton. For this amount of seed, 10 liters of working solution are required. For flax and legumes, the amount of water used to prepare the solution can be reduced to 4-5 liters per ton.
The product is characterized by rapid initial activity after treatment. The composition enters the plant from the moment the seeds germinate and is evenly distributed throughout the plant as it grows and develops.
Safety precautions
In terms of toxicity to humans, this seed treatment belongs to Class III. The fungicide poses no danger to earthworms, bees, microorganisms, or birds. However, it is toxic to fish. Therefore, planting treated seeds near bodies of water is prohibited.
The active ingredients of the product have no adverse effects on warm-blooded animals. They decompose quickly in the soil. The half-life of the substance is only 1.3-2.8 days.
To prevent harm from Redigo Pro, wear thick clothing with long sleeves when handling it. Gloves are recommended to protect your hands from the substance. You should also cover your nose and mouth with a respirator and protect your eyes with goggles. This will significantly reduce the risk of intoxication or skin irritation.
Is compatibility possible?
Redigo Pro is compatible with other pesticides. The exception is those that are highly acidic or alkaline. Fungicide-based solutions should be prepared separately and then mixed in the same container.
However, before combining different products, a small chemical compatibility test should be performed. This requires diluting the solutions separately and combining them in a small container. If there are no visible changes in the physical or chemical properties, the products can be used together.
How to store it correctly and for how long
Redigo Pro seed treatment should be stored at temperatures between 0 and 30 degrees Celsius. The suspension concentrate should only be stored in plastic industrial canisters. The product should be kept in a dark, dry place, away from moisture and sunlight.
The seed treatment agent can be stored with other pesticides and fertilizers. However, it should not be stored near food products, medications, household products, or animal feed. The storage area must be securely locked to prevent access by children and animals.
The drug's shelf life is at least 3 years from the date of manufacture. However, the working solution should not be stored for long periods of time. This substance must be used within 24 hours. Otherwise, it will lose its effectiveness.
What to replace it with
Today, there are quite a few effective alternatives to Redigo Pro. The most effective alternatives include the following:
