Redigo Deter delivers 2.15 t/ha higher yield in wheat and 2.75 t/ha in barley (Bayer CropScience BYDV trials average 2006-11).

With healthier seedlings, crop stands are stronger and more abundant, and less prone to lodging. Grain quality is consistently high, enabling you to satisfy your customers’ demands time after time.

In addition, Redigo Deter lets you make the most of your crop. With no 18 m buffer zones for foliar sprays such as cypermethrin or restrictions near water courses, you can drill up to the field margins. The whole area is covered against early threats.

Naturally, it all starts with excellent establishment. Redigo Deter controls the pests that can cause unnecessary and unwelcome losses.

Slugs loom large this year, but you can reduce grain-hollowing damage, with up to 28% extra healthy seedlings, or 44 more plants per square metre (Bayer CropScience slug trials, 2002-5).

Moreover, Redigo Deter comprehensively controls aphid vectors of BYDV (Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus), including pyrethroid-resistant clones, for up to eight weeks into autumn.

This extended activity can make foliar insecticide timings simpler when pest pressure is high and conditions limit suitable spraying days. You can avoid going onto wet land, safe in the knowledge that your drilled crops are germinating. You’ll also keep post-emergence herbicide programme timings flexible.

Little wonder, then, that many farmers regard Redigo Deter as an autumn crop management tool and that it secures around 40% of the UK’s winter cereal area.
