The quality of seed directly impacts yield. Thorough seed treatment protects plants from diseases and accelerates seedling germination. "Bariton Super" is a popular seed treatment that promotes intensive root development and provides effective protection against various fungal diseases.
What is included in the composition and existing forms of release
Bariton is available as a suspension concentrate used as a seed treatment. Its active ingredients are:
- Prothioconazole 50 g/l promotes active germination of seedlings, formation of a strong root system, increases bushiness and drought resistance;
- Tebuconazole 10 g/L exhibits protective, eradicating, and therapeutic properties. It ensures rapid penetration into the plant and uniform distribution;
- Fludioxonil 37.5 g/l suppresses the development and spread of pathogens that cause diseases of grain crop seedlings.
The drug is sold in 5-liter plastic canisters.
Purpose and mechanism of action
This product is designed to control the emergence and spread of diseases in grain seeds and seedlings. Its effectiveness begins immediately after application. The product's components exhibit different effects:
- Tebuconazole, by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis, causes irreversible disruption of cell membrane function. These processes lead to the death of fungal organisms;
- Prothioconazole is a fungicide and when it enters plants it inhibits demethylation, which subsequently stops the growth of fungal cells;
- The action of fludioxonil is to inhibit the mechanism associated with glucose transport, which inhibits the growth of the mycelium of pathogenic fungi.
"Bariton" is considered an innovative fungicide. It is used during seed treatment for grain crops. Activity is observed from the moment it penetrates the plant system. Subsequently, as the plant grows and develops, the product is evenly distributed throughout its structure.
How to use seed dressing correctly
To ensure the effectiveness of the drug, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for consumption rates and rules of use.
| Processing object | Consumption rate | Type of disease | Features of application |
| Winter, spring wheat | 0.8-1.0 | loose smut or hard smut, root rot, snow mold, seed mold, Fusarium root rot | the seeds are treated before sowing |
| Winter and spring barley | 0.85-1.0 | stone smut, loose smut, seed mold, false loose smut, Fusarium root rot |
It is recommended to select high-quality, cleaned seeds without mechanical damage for sowing and treatment.
Precautionary measures
The product "Bariton" is classified as hazard class 3 for humans and beneficial insects. However, when processing the seed, protective equipment must be used. Work must be carried out using protective equipment (rubber gloves, safety glasses, and a respirator).
If the solution comes into contact with exposed skin, rinse the affected areas with clean water. Do not use in water protection zones.
Is compatibility possible?
Manufacturers allow the combined use of Bariton and other seed treatments. It can also be used to prepare tank mixes with fertilizers and growth stimulants. Before preparing the working solution, test it first.
How to store
The shelf life of the suspension concentrate is at least 2 years from the date of manufacture. It is recommended to store the seed treatment in a dry, ventilated area at a temperature of at least 0°C. Do not store the pesticide concurrently with food, drinking water, or animal feed.
Analogues
Various products can be used for preventative seed treatment. "Cruiser" is used for treating potato, grain, and sunflower seeds. It provides a consistent protective effect, regardless of weather conditions. Advantages of the working solution: reliable and long-lasting protection against pests, with the protective effect lasting 4-5 weeks from the time of treatment. Pests die within a few hours (depending on the solution concentration and the plant's developmental stage).
The Kaiser seed treatment is effective for corn, rapeseed, sugar beet, sunflower, and potato seeds. Its advantages include: it remains effective in hot and dry conditions, is inexpensive, and the seed treatment remains active for up to one year. The solution completely coats the seeds, adhering firmly to the surface.
The Tabu seed treatment protects potatoes, corn, and sugar beets from wireworms. It also protects crops from aphids, which carry viral diseases. The product's advantages include: pests die within 24 hours, its effectiveness remains unchanged regardless of environmental conditions, its compatibility with fungicidal treatments, complete protection of crop seedlings up to the 2-3 leaf-pair stage, and its harmlessness to bees.
The main advantages of the Bariton seed treatment are: it improves plant overwintering in the absence of snow cover and provides long-term protection of seedlings from root and basal rot. Thanks to its multi-component composition, the product exhibits protective, therapeutic, and preventative properties.
