Plan for bigger yields from the start by treating your barley and wheat seed with Systiva to control key seed-borne, soil-borne and foliar diseases and improve crop vigour.  

Key benefits

  • Long-lasting protection simplifies in-crop disease management 
  • Promotes stronger root development and increases green leaf area 
  • Systiva treatment has been shown to produce consistently bigger yields in spring and autumn plantings

How it works

After sowing Systiva is quickly taken up and evenly distributed within the whole plant. Its innovative, powerful SDHI active ingredient is transported into the growing roots and leaves for an extended period, ensuring long-lasting control of a broad-spectrum of fungal diseases. So Systiva protects the cereal seed against seed-borne and soil-borne diseases, then goes on to protect the young plant against foliar diseases. That longer-lasting and more comprehensive disease control gives treated plants a stronger start to the season and makes them more resistant to a range of environmental stresses, resulting in healthier crops and bigger yields. That’s what makes Systiva so unique.
