- Technical Name : Azoxystrobin 2.5% + Thiophanate Methyl 11.25% + Thiomethoxam 25% FS
- Cascade is a highly effective seed treatment product that combines three active ingredients: Azoxystrobin, Thiophanate Methyl, and Thiomethoxam. This formulation provides dual protection against fungal diseases and insect pests, ensuring healthy germination and vigorous crop growth for soybeans. Its systemic action guarantees long-lasting protection, reducing the need for multiple treatments and enhancing overall crop yield and quality.
Mode of Action:
- Systemic Fungicide: Azoxystrobin disrupts mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells, while thiophanate methyl interferes with cell division, effectively inhibiting fungal growth.
