Dhanuka Vitavax Ultra FF Fungicide for Seed Treatment

Vitavax Ultra FF Seed Treatment Fungicide for Healthy Wheat Germination

Vitavax Ultra FF is a dual-action seed treatment fungicide developed for managing seed-borne and soil-borne fungal diseases under recommended use. It contains Carboxin 17.5% as a systemic fungicide and Thiram 17.5% as a contact fungicide. The formulation spreads quickly and adheres well to the seed surface, forming a uniform and long-lasting coating.

This fungicide is commonly used as a pre-sowing seed treatment in wheat, particularly for the management of loose smut. Farmers who follow proper seed treatment practices, including wheat growers in Bihar and other wheat-growing regions of India, can include this product in their disease management program. It supports early-stage crop establishment when sowing conditions are variable.
