The fungicide Univoc® offers a new and unique solution for the control of a broad spectrum of diseases in cereal crops. Univoc® is a new product that combines the strengths of the latest active substance Inatreq™ – from an entirely new class of chemical group – with the well-established triazole Prothioconazole.

Univoc® is a fungicide that possesses excellent preventive, stopping and curative action against all economically important diseases in cereal crops.

Through the new active substance Inatreq™, Univoc® provides reliable control of key wheat diseases such as rusts and septoria leaf blotch – including strains resistant to other active substances.

After treatment, Univoc® penetrates the leaf tissue and remains in an active form for more than 30 days; upon contact with the pathogen, it activates its CURATIVE action. The deposits after treatment on the plant parts act as a reservoir for Univoc®, becoming activated upon contact with germinating spores (PREVENTIVE action).

In the presence of germinated spores, Univoc® penetrates the tissues and acts as an inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells; by blocking the electron transfer, growth is impeded and the fungi die (STOPPING action).
