For the crop to be productive and profitable, the farmer must pay attention to the climate, correct field management and also the choice of inputs, such as, for example, certified, quality and treated seeds. A seed without adequate treatment has its potential for productivity loss increased by between 10 and 40%. This loss is directly linked to the incidence of important pests and diseases, the planting time and climatic conditions.
To avoid losses during the harvest and ensure a well-established crop, BASF offers producers Standak® Top. With insecticidal and fungicidal functions, it shields the seeds and protects them against damage caused by the main pests and soil diseases. Standak® Top is the only solution on the market with 3 active ingredients, which provide protection against the main diseases, the elasmo caterpillar, corós and soybean anteater, as well as greater protection against water stress and nematodes, and better germination and vigor of seeds and seedlings.
Seed treatment with Standak® Top helped farmer João Carlos da Cruz achieve the highest productivity in the CESB award. With the control of pests and soil diseases promoted by the solution, he reached a rate of 120 bags per hectare. The use of Standak® Top, associated with good agricultural practices, contributes to better productivity rates in crops throughout Brazil.
