Austral® Plus
General Description
Austral® Plus is an insecto-fungicide seed treatment for cereals (wheat and barley). It contains two active ingredients—Teflutrin (insecticide) and Fludioxonil (fungicide)—working synergistically to protect seeds against soil pests and seed-borne diseases.
Active Ingredients
| Active ingredient | Concentration |
|---|---|
| Teflutrin | 40 g/l |
| Fludioxonil | 10 g/l |
Formulation & Packaging
- Formulation: Flowable suspension for seed treatment (FS)
- Packaging: 20 L
Mode of Action
- Fludioxonil – contact fungicide, inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth, protects seeds against soil-borne diseases.
- Teflutrin – contact and vapor insecticide, acts on the insect nervous system and repels soil pests.
Spectrum of Control
Austral® Plus protects seeds against a wide range of fungal pathogens and soil pests:
- Fungal pathogens: Fusarium spp., Tilletia spp., Microdochium nivale, Septoria nodorum, etc.
- Soil pests: wireworms (Agriotes spp.), cereal ground beetle (Zabrus tenebrioides), cabbage root fly (Delia coarctata), etc.
The active ingredients diffuse around the seed forming a protective “halo” in the soil to prevent pest attack.
Application Recommendations
- Recommended rate: ~5 L of Austral® Plus per ton of seed, combined with 1–1.25 L of AG 40R adjuvant and 4–5 L of water for uniform coverage.
- Used to treat wheat and barley seeds before sowing for protection against soil pests and seed-borne diseases.
Advantages
- Combined insect-fungicide protection in a single treatment.
- Ready-mix formulation saves time and reduces dosing errors.
- Seed protection in soil due to ingredient diffusion.
- Phytotonic effect: more uniform emergence and stronger seedlings.
