Why Flutriafol
Flutriafol is a systemic fungicide that provides reliable, early-season protection against key cereal and oilseed diseases when applied in-furrow with planting fertiliser.
Used across wheat, barley and canola programs, flutriafol-treated fertiliser helps safeguard emerging crops from stripe rust, take-all and other early fungal infections – supporting healthy plant establishment and stronger yield potential.
As part of our Enhanced Applications range, flutriafol-treated fertiliser delivers targeted, efficient disease control where it matters most: at the roots.
Overview
In seasons where disease pressure is high, flutriafol offers growers a proactive solution for managing early infections before they impact crop performance.
Applied in-furrow, flutriafol enters the plant through the roots and is transported throughout the growing tissue, providing sustained protection for 6 – 8 weeks after sowing. This early control reduces the need for follow-up sprays, supports uniform crop establishment, and lowers overall disease pressure across the farming system.
Incitec Pivot’s Product Distribution Centres can accurately treat a range of compatible fertilisers with flutriafol at dispatch, ensuring precise application and consistent performance in the field.
When and where required:
- Early-season protection in wheat, barley and canola
- Stripe rust, take-all and other fungal disease management
- Integrated disease control strategies
- Growers seeking reliable, in-furrow disease suppression
The Science
Flutriafol is one of the most persistent triazole fungicides available for in-furrow application.
Once applied with fertiliser in the seed furrow, it is absorbed by the developing roots and moves systemically through the plant, protecting against infection from the soil up.
The fungicide’s gradual breakdown ensures a steady supply of active ingredient over several weeks, maintaining consistent protection through the crucial early stages of crop development.
Flutriafol’s effectiveness depends on correct placement, fertiliser compatibility, and application rate. When used as directed, it provides dependable protection and forms a key component of an integrated disease management strategy.
