Univoq™ fungicide

Proven to deliver robust disease control and higher yields

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

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

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 those 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.”
 

“The 2023 AHDB fungicide trials back up what farmers have seen in the field for the past three seasons – Inatreq provides robust control against key diseases and great yield returns”

Univoq

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. 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 2023. “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.”

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. 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.”

The latest news - not to be missed

March 2024
Cereal growers will need to use the best tools available to them to offset the threat of septoria this year, Corteva Agriscience has advised.

After the warmest February on record for England and Wales, followed by a very wet March, early indications in the field are pointing towards a high septoria pressure year. The conditions look likely to create a perfect storm; septoria lesions are already being spotted in fields, even on varieties with proven high resistance, such as Extase.
