Instructions for use of Celest Max and dosage of seed protectant

At the initial stages of plant growth and development, it is important to prevent the onset of diseases and pest attacks. For these purposes, special preparations are used - disinfectants, which provide plants with the opportunity to have a successful start. This is achieved by processing the seed material. Treating with one of the best modern drugs - Celest Max - guarantees systemic protection, saving crops from diseases and pests.

Composition and release form of seed protectant

The drug "Celest Max" is a universal-use disinfectant containing three active components:

1. Fludioxanil - 25 grams per liter.
2. Tebuconazole – 15 grams per liter.
3. Thiamethoxam – 125 grams per liter.

The product is sold in the form of a CS - a suspension concentrate; it is a balanced protective drug with fungicidal and insecticidal properties.

Available in polymer, foil and metal containers with volumes from 1 milliliter to 1 thousand liters.

In what cases is it used?

"Celest Max" is used for balanced protection against pests and diseases at the initial stages of development of grain crops - spring and winter wheat and barley. It is a ready-made composition consisting of three components with different effects, which ensures comprehensive protection of seedlings.

The drug has a number of advantages:

1. Can be used after any predecessor.
2. Stimulation of active development of the root system.
3. An increase in the number of seedlings, which leads to an increase in yield per unit area.
4. Excellent adhesion of the drug to the seed material.
5. Compatible with most existing plant protection products.

The effectiveness of the product and high protective qualities have made it in demand among producers of high-quality grain.

Principle of operation

The three basic components of the drug provide the following qualities:

1. High smoothness of the seeds, which avoids the formation of toxic dust during processing, which reduces the danger of working with the product.
2. The smoothness also guarantees excellent flowability of the seed, making loading and unloading easier.
3. The presence of a special polymer in the composition allows the seeds to be evenly coated with the preparation.

Each of the components that make up Celest Max has its own operating principles:

1. Fludioxonil is a broad-spectrum fungicide that has the characteristics of natural antifungal agents. It affects the rate of mycelium development by inhibiting the formation of glucose.
2. Tebuconazole is a systemic fungicide that inhibits the formation of ergosterol in the cell membranes of pathogens. It also has the properties of a growth regulator and stimulator.
3. Thiamethoxam is an insecticide of the neonicotinoid class that can be absorbed into the vessels of plants and spread throughout them, due to which the sprouts become toxic to pests.

The composition of the drug ensures its high protective qualities, promotes high germination and preservation of plants, and crop growth.

Instructions for use

The disinfectant is used once, before sowing the seeds, the consumption of the drug is 1.5-2 liters of suspension concentrate per ton.
