Target septoria and rusts with your fungicide to drive yield

Whether tested in the field or across independent trial sites, Univoq^TM fungicide has shone brightly as a unique solution for broad-spectrum cereal disease control and leading yields.

Robust in the face of septoria and rusts, the coformulation of the novel Inatreq^TM active molecule in combination with prothioconazole is optimised by Corteva Agriscience’s patented i-Q4^TM formulation.

The result is a unique fungicide with no cross resistance to other chemistries, enhanced spray retention, and the ultimate in coverage, penetration and uptake.

Univoq provides lasting protection for your crop, laying the foundations for higher yields.

Septoria suppression in Suffolk

Suffolk farmer Oliver Pipe opted for Univoq in 2023 in a bid to get the ‘most bang for his buck’.

Farming on the edge of Ipswich he applied Univoq to winter wheat at the T2 timing and winter rye at T1.

“Using Univoq was a decision I made with my agronomist as to what would give us the most bang for our buck,” Oliver says. “It was one of the top-performing products and definitely the most competitively priced.

“When we applied it there wasn’t much disease to clear up, so the Univoq just quietly got on with its job and the crop stayed green.

“Yields were good – there are so many variables you don’t know if it’s down to any one thing in particular, but if you’ve kept it green you know it’s going to be alright.”

Proven, consistent results in independent trials

Univoq has consistently demonstrated a superior yield return compared to many other fungicides on the market.

This is best demonstrated in independent AHDB trials. In 2023, Univoq again showed that it is one of the leading treatments against septoria and rusts.

It was the third year in a row where the yield summary has shown clear daylight between Univoq and that of the next closest competitor.

Craig Chisholm, Corteva’s Cereal Fungicides Category Manager, said: “This demonstrates just how reliable the performance of Univoq is across seasons with varying characteristics.”

A fifth year of reliability for Northants grower

 Northamptonshire-based Andrew Mahon has used Univoq for five seasons running as it “does what it says on the tin.”

He grows 350ha of wheat and last year used Univoq across 300ha.

“We went for a lightweight T1, preferring to spend our money at T2,” he explains.

“Most of these varieties have a pretty good disease profile, with reasonable scores for septoria and some inherent resistance.”

Andrew applied Univoq at a rate of 1.25l/ha on 18 May.

“We went on the early side, but there was a weather window. We were happy with Univoq’s performance, particularly from a rust and septoria perspective,” he adds. “It did what it said on the tin.”

New, award-winning packaging

Getting Univoq from the can to the sprayer has never been easier as a result of the product’s unique packaging.

All farmers ordering Univoq in 2024 will benefit from better ease of handling with no splashing or glugging, leading to fewer drips.

It’s manufactured using 8% less plastic from HDPE for ease of recycling. Those operating a closed-transfer system will see 100% compatibility and an easier washout.
