Product Overview

Flusulfamide is a specialized soil-applied fungicide designed to control persistent soil-borne plant diseases. It is particularly effective against pathogens that infect crop roots during early growth stages. By acting directly in the soil, Flusulfamide helps protect crops from infection before symptoms appear, resulting in healthier plants, improved yields, and enhanced crop quality.

This active ingredient is widely valued for its long-lasting activity in soil and its targeted action against difficult-to-control diseases.
