New Cerefit fungicide

Hear about our newest fungicide for winter wheat in just 7 minutes.

Leaf diseases in cereal crops continue to rob Western Canadian farmers of yield and profit. Scald, Net Blotch, and Spot Blotch have been known to reduce barley yields up to 20% and Crown Rust can cause oat yield losses of 10% to 40% in the rust prone areas of Manitoba and Eastern Saskatchewan.
