Univoq™
Fungicide
Univoq™’s key strength is the delivery of a powerful combination of curative and persistent protection against septoria and other diseases, including rusts.
Powered by Corteva’s novel Inatreq™ active molecule, Univoq has a unique site of action meaning no cross resistance to any chemistry used on farms today. Prothioconazole in the co-formulation ensures farmers can achieve broad-spectrum disease control in wheat, durum wheat, rye, triticale and spelt wheat.
The result is outstanding performance in the field. Disease is controlled, leaves stay greener, and crop yields increase.
Technical Update May 2025: Don't be tempted to cut T2 fungicide rates in dry weather
With the current dry conditions, it may be tempting to reduce T2 fungicide rates. However, please consider the following before making any changes:
🟢 The T2 application is to protect key yield building leaves for the next 4 to 8 weeks – is it going to remain dry during that period?
🟢 Not all diseases are wet weather diseases, so maintain rates for the control of septoria AND rusts.
🟢 If the flag leaf has emerged early, the T2 application might now need to last 1 week longer than you’d anticipated.
🟢 Crop potential is generally good. Don’t risk missing out on the yield potential in your crop by cutting corners on protection at this critical timing.
Univoq™ at 1.25L/ha at T2 has been a consistently good performer since launch in both wet and dry seasons. Over 2 million hectares have been treated with Inatreq products since launch and many growers and advisors would not consider a programme without it now.

About Univoq
Best Use Advice
- Ideally apply at T2 to see maximum yield benefits as a result of persistent Septoria control, but Univoq could alternatively be applied at T1 where the key differential benefit is continued protection where T2 sprays get delayed.
- Univoq will give the best results before the disease has become established in the crop, but offers outstanding control of Septoria, yellow rust, brown rust, powdery mildew, tan spot and leaf scald.
- Univoq offers both persistent protection and curative control of Septoria which keeps leaves greener for longer thus enhancing yield.
- Univoq is rainfast in 1 hour.
- Univoq requires the use of 3* drift reduction technology. The use of this technology does not negatively affect the performance of Univoq.
- Before applying Univoq we recommend visiting our Inatreq Sprayer Advice webpage for our best practice application advice and sprayer parts guidance. Click here for further information.
Resistance Management
Only one application of a picolinamide containing product can be made to a crop. As a result, Univoq is, by default, going to be used in alternation with products containing different modes of action in a typical UK spray programme. Please observe the specific disease instructions and recommended rates of use for these products.
