New group of active in cereals
Due to increasingly strict approval criteria for existing and new solutions, agriculture will have to expect further restrictions in the choice of cereal fungicides..
Since the introduction of the first carboxamide in 2003, there has not been a new group of active ingredients in cereal fungicides.
With Inatreq active as the first representative of the picolinamides in grain, agriculture is not only provided with a new active ingredient, but a whole new group of active ingredients.
This technology represents the first step in what will be a best-in-class disease portfolio.
New and unique mode of action
Mitochondria are the power plants of the cells, they produce the energy carrier adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via the so-called mitochondrial respiration.
Inatreq active inhibits this important metabolic process. The production of ATP is stopped and vital processes in the fungal cell come to a standstill.
Inatreq active is classified as a "quinone inside inhibitor" (QiI) due to its special site of action. This is where Inatreq active differs from the previous azoles, carboxamides and strobilurins and thus represents a completely new site of action and a new group of active ingredients in cereal fungicides.
Natural origin
Nature has the right solution for many problems. These just have to be found, understood and further developed. Inatreq active is an example of this.
From natural product to Inatreq active
Active ingredient uptake and distribution in the plant
The high absorption in the leaf tissue is made possible by the special formulation (i-Q4 technology). Even small amounts of the highly active ingredient ensure a reliable effect.
All-round leaf protection thanks to Inatreq active with i-Q4 formulation
Also effective against pycnidia
Pycnidia (fruiting bodies) are the "collecting containers" for the spores (pyknospores) of Septoria tritici.
Thousands of spores are released from a pycnidia! The lower the spore potential in the stand, the lower the infection pressure on the cereal plants.
Inatreq active reduces the infection potential of Septoria tritici
The active ingredient Inatreq active is obtained from a soil-borne bacterium (Streptomyces spp.). Inatreq affects development of Septoria Tritici: this reduces the number of spores that form in the fruiting bodies and their viability - also on the lower leaves that are already infested.
In this way, the potential for infection in the crop is significantly reduced and mass spread is restricted. Inatreq combats Septoria tritici at every stage of development.
