DIVIDEND® is a seed treatment fungicide for controlling seed and soil-borne diseases such as bunts, smuts, dumping off, seedling blights and root rots and delays infection of earlier foliar diseases such as leaf rusts and leaf septoria.
FACT SHEET
Active Ingredient
30g/L Difenoconazole
Formulation
Flowable Slurry
Mode of Action
Difenoconazole® is a triazole fungicide with a systemic anti-fungal activity. It acts by preventing formation of ergosterol in fungus cells. As a result, growth and development of pathogenic fungi is rapidly and permanently stopped.

Equipment
Continuous flow seed treater if the formulation is sprayed onto the seed through nozzles or spinning disks in a liquid mist chamber. Rotating drums or fluidized bed systems for film coating procedures. (Calibrate first) On farm equipment like concrete mixers, homemade applicators such as tins and gourds.
