Inatreq™ active has undergone decades of work by some of the brightest minds in global crop protection product development.

With novel sites of action being increasingly hard to discover, Corteva’s scientists turned to nature to discover Inatreq. The new molecule is derived from a natural compound, UK-2A, produced through fermentation and converted to Inatreq through a single step modification after fermentation to enhance stability and offer long term protection.

Inatreq is converted back to UK-2A both inside plants and in the presence of fungi. It binds to the quinone inside inhibitor in the fungal pathogen – a different site to all other cereal fungicides on the market, giving it a unique site of action.

Curative properties tackle latent Septoria and with the bulk of applications expected at the T2 timing, farmers using Inatreq can expect robust protection lasting four to six weeks.

Outstanding control of Septoria will be noted by farmers and advisors as Inatreq’s key attribute. But the list of qualities is long.

Key Features

• Novel target site in cereal
• Naturally derived, produced by fermentation
• Protectant and curative
• No cross resistance to existing chemistry
• Long-lasting Septoria protection

31 MARCH 2021 UPDATE: Corteva Agriscience announced today that the UK has approved the registration of a product with Inatreq^™ active. 

Univoq^™ fungicide with Inatreq active, now approved for sale and use in the UK, is a new fungicide that offers exceptional curative and protectant control on all Septoria strains, supporting a long-term sustainable fungicide strategy on farms.
