Cereals are often plagued by various diseases and pests, which can destroy a large portion of the harvest. Treatments for seedlings and mature crops are often ineffective, as the plants are typically affected in the early stages of development. In this situation, insecticides and fungicides can migrate into the grains. To avoid problems, use the Triactiv seed treatment.
What is included in the composition and dosage form
The product is available as a suspension concentrate. It contains several active ingredients. One liter of the substance contains the following:
- 100 grams of azoxystrobin;
- 120 grams of tebuconazole;
- 40 grams of cyproconazole.
The drug combines the properties of an insecticide and a fungicide, and has protective and therapeutic properties of contact and systemic action.
Purpose and operating principle
Triaktiv is a three-component seed treatment. It is used for treating cereals, corn, rice, and rapeseed. Its composition helps prevent the development of key seedling diseases.
The mechanism of action is due to the presence of the following components:
- Azoxystrobin is a contact and translaminar fungicide with therapeutic, protective, and eradicant properties. It inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth. This effect is achieved by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transport. Due to its partial systemic effect, the fungicide is redistributed to nearby leaves after spraying.
- Tebuconazole and cyproconazole have pronounced systemic properties. After treatment, they actively migrate throughout the plant. These substances inhibit the transformation of lanosterol into ergosterol and a specific sterol present in fungal cell membranes. Suppressing ergosterol production causes irreversible damage to fungal cell membranes, ultimately leading to the death of pathogens.
The main advantages of the fungicide include the following:
- a unique combination of active components from different chemical classes that differ in their mechanism of action;
- high efficiency against ear diseases and seed infections;
- long period of protective action;
- anti-stress effect;
- guarantee of obtaining a high-quality harvest;
- improving the overwintering of plants.
Instructions for use
According to the instructions, Triactiv is a one-time application. It is used to treat seeds before planting. The recommended application rate is 0.2-0.3 liters per ton. The working solution consumption is 10 liters per ton.
The preparation can also be used for spraying during the growing season.
The application rate is 0.8-1 liter per hectare. The working fluid consumption reaches 300 liters per hectare. The waiting period before harvesting is 40 days.
The preparation penetrates the root zone, quickly passes through the seed into the germinating plant and provides a long-term protective effect.
Precautionary measures
The product belongs to hazard class 2 for humans and class 3 for bees. This means it can harm the human body. To avoid any negative effects, follow these guidelines:
- Wear closed work clothes.
- Use personal protective equipment – mask, glasses, gloves.
- If the substance comes into contact with skin or mucous membranes, rinse the area with running water.
- After finishing the treatment, you should wash your face with soap, take a shower and change clothes.
Is compatibility possible?
Triactiv is compatible with most fungicides, growth promoters, and insecticides. Before preparing tank mixes, perform a compatibility test. If no adverse reactions are observed, the formulation can be used as directed.
How and how long can it be stored?
It is recommended to store the product in its original container at temperatures between 0 and 35 degrees Celsius. It is important to protect the product from direct sunlight, moisture, and mechanical damage. The shelf life of the seed treatment in its original, unopened packaging is 3 years.
Analogues
A product with the same components can be used as a replacement for the seed treatment. The closest in composition is "Triagro." It is available as a suspension concentrate and contains the same components in similar proportions.
Triactiv is an effective seed treatment. It has a comprehensive effect and protects crops from a wide range of diseases. Proper use of the treatment is crucial.
