All of the ingredients have been carefully selected to ensure that the product is environmental friendly.

Cerall® has been developed so as to be specially adapted to bare seed such as wheat. Since the beginning of 2000, the product has undergone extensive studies and field tests. During the last two seasons, the product has additionally been used in practical applications on five markets. The reception on these markets has been consistently positive. Thousands of tons of seed have been treated and certified. Cerall® is being continually launched in country after country in cooperation with our distributors as the product becomes approved in the relevant area.

Cerall® is effective against the seed-borne diseases common wheat bunt (Tilletia caries), wheat leaf spot (Septoria nodorum) and Fusarium (Fusarium spp.) in wheat, rye and triticale.

Cerall® treated seed can be stored, transported and handled in the same manner as normal seed. Treatment with Cerall® does not affect treatment capacity. Cerall® can be used in most treatment equipment available on the market. In certain cases, the equipment must be adjusted in order to handle the product’s relatively high dosage. The recommended dosage is 10 liters/ton of seed. The product can be stored in unopened packaging at +4ºC to +8ºC for up to eight weeks after delivery. All packaging is marked with a used before date. The product must be stirred before use. Partial emptying of packages is not recommended.

Treated seed can be stored for up to one year. BioAgri also recommends that the seed health be analysed before treatment. Special attention should be given at seed germination. If the germination of the untreated seed does not meet the requirements for certification, a test treatment and follow-up analysis is recommended before the product is used.
