Pallaton Raphno
Ultrastrike® is a broad spectrum ‘film coat’ that provides establishing grass, chicory and brassica seedlings with extensive protection.
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.
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®.
Ultrastrike® brassica seed treatment wil provide protection from Wireworn for 3-4 weeks after sowing. If identified in the crop, apply an insecticide.
Ultrastrike® brassica seed treatment will provide protection from Cutworm for 3-4 weeks after sowing. If identified in the crop, apply an insecticide.
