Seed treatment

Ultrastrike® seed treatment

Ultrastrike® is a broad spectrum ‘film coat’ that provides establishing grass, chicory and brassica seedlings with extensive protection.

  • Assists in maximising seedling establishment and plant development
  • Effective against a range of common insects
  • Effective against a range of diseases in brassica and chicory
  • Not harmful to beneficials such as earthworms
  • Cost effective compared with ‘broadacre’ control options

Recommended for grass, brassica and chicory:

  • Use in oversowing programmes due to the increased risk of insect damage in grass to grass environments
  • Oversowing situations where competition from the existing pasture can be limiting on new seedlings
  • All autumn and spring sown grasses, brassica and chicory

 

Contains:

  • Poncho® Plus; a systemic insecticide for protection against Red Legged Earth Mite (RLEM), Blue Oat Mite, African Black Beetle, Yellow Headed Cockchafer and Lucerne Flea (suppression only).

Crop monitoring 

All Pallaton seed is treated with Ultrastrike® brassica seed treatment. It contains a systemic insecticide and a fungicide.

Pallaton has a strong tolerance to aphids, and has also shown a high level of tolerance to Cabbage White Butterfly and Diamondback Moth compared with forage rape. Pallaton has a similar susceptibility to Leaf Miner as other brassicas and will require monitoring.

Like all crops, an insect prevention programme is required around the time of sowing to enable the best chance of seedling establishment. Consult your local representative for assistance with this.

Continue to monitor Pallaton for seedling pests in the first weeks of establishment. This includes Wireworm, Cutworm and Slugs.

Insects and diseases

Any ag-chemical recommendations should be made by your local accredited Pallaton representative. Pallaton is a forage brassica, and chemical recommendations should be made accordingly. There is a grazing withholding period of 56 days after sowing seed treated with Ultrastrike®.

Wireworm

Ultrastrike® brassica seed treatment wil provide protection from Wireworn for 3-4 weeks after sowing. If identified in the crop, apply an insecticide.

Cutworm

Ultrastrike® brassica seed treatment will provide protection from Cutworm for 3-4 weeks after sowing. If identified in the crop, apply an insecticide.

Slugs

Always apply Slug bait in direct drill situations.
