Quantum Pro Seed Treatment is a broad-spectrum fungicide that is effective at controlling a wide range of diseases in wheat, barley, and canola. It contains fluquinconazole, a triazole fungicide that has both preventative and curative activity.

How does Quantum Pro work?

Quantum Pro works by preventing fungal spores from germinating and forming hyphae, the microscopic thread-like structures that cause disease. It also inhibits the growth of fungal hyphae that have already formed. Quantum Pro is systemic, which means that it is absorbed by the seed and moves throughout the plant, providing protection for the entire plant.

What diseases does Quantum Pro protect against?

Quantum Pro is effective against a wide range of diseases, including:

  • Leaf and stripe rust: These are fungal diseases that can cause significant yield losses in wheat. Quantum Pro can provide up to six weeks of control of stripe rust after sowing.
  • Septoria leaf blotch: This is a fungal disease that can cause significant yield losses in wheat and barley. Quantum Pro can provide up to six weeks of control of septoria leaf blotch.
  • Powdery mildew: This is a fungal disease that can cause significant yield losses in barley. Quantum Pro can provide up to eight weeks of control of powdery mildew.
  • Blackleg: This is a fungal disease that can be devastating to canola crops. Quantum Pro can provide early season suppression of blackleg in canola.

When to apply Quantum Pro

Quantum Pro should be applied to wheat, barley, and canola seed before planting. It is important to read and follow the label instructions carefully before applying Quantum Pro.

Safety precautions

Quantum Pro is a relatively safe product when used according to the label instructions. However, it is important to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying the product, including gloves, long-sleeved clothing, and eye protection. It is also important to read and follow the label instructions carefully before applying the product.

Here are some additional benefits of using Quantum Pro:

  • It can help to increase crop yields by reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
  • It can improve seed germination and seedling vigor.
  • It can reduce the need for fungicide applications after emergence.
  • It can help to improve crop quality and reduce the risk of grain losses.

Overall, Quantum Pro Seed Treatment is a valuable tool for protecting wheat, barley, and canola crops from a wide range of diseases. It is a safe, effective, and easy-to-use product that can help to improve crop yields and reduce the need for fungicide applications after emergence.
