The fungicide Verben® from Corteva Agriscience is a highly effective solution for protecting cereal crops, providing exceptional control over economically significant diseases, including various types of rot – a problem that often leads to serious yield losses.

Mode of Action – Dual Power, Maximum Security

Verben® combines two active substances with completely different modes of action – Proquinazid and Prothioconazole. This synergy guarantees both prevention and strong curative action in the presence of infection.

Vapor Phase – The Key to Rot Control

Proquinazid is an active substance with a proven vapor phase, meaning that after application the product:

  • Protects even the untreated parts of the plants
  • Stops the rapid spread of the pathogen
  • Reactivates after rainfall, ensuring long-lasting action

This characteristic is particularly important in the fight against root rots and fusarium, where quickly limiting the infection is critical.

Enhanced Immune Resistance

Proquinazid also has a physiological effect, supporting the plant's natural defense mechanisms – an advantage that allows the crop to overcome stress factors and recover more quickly.

Practical Advantages That Make the Difference

  • Preventive, Stopping, and Curative Action
    Verben® is a reliable choice both for early symptoms and for already visible disease development.
  • High Rainfastness
    Thanks to rapid drying and excellent formulation, the product is resistant to variable weather.
  • Depot Formation
    The waxy cuticle creates a reservoir of active substance, ensuring prolonged and uniform action.

Controlled Diseases

Verben® provides excellent protection against:

  • Types of rot in cereal crops
  • Powdery mildew
  • Septoria leaf and glume blotch
  • Brown and yellow rust
  • Leaf spots (Drechslera)
  • Net blotch
  • Ramularia
  • Fusarium head blight

Application Timing and Recommended Dosages

Dosage flexibility allows adaptation to different crop stages and disease pressure:

  • T1: 60 ml/decare
  • T2: 75 ml/decare
  • T3: 90 ml/decare

Verben® is compatible with herbicides and insecticides and is suitable for inclusion in comprehensive plant protection programs.

Conclusion

Verben® is the reliable partner for farmers in the fight against the most important diseases in cereal crops.
With a fully innovative formulation, vapor phase, proven efficacy against rots, and long-lasting protection, the product guarantees peace of mind, security, and maximum yield potential.
