Product Features:
- “Insect + Disease” in one seed treatment
Combines a systemic insecticide with two fungicides from different FRAC groups to protect seeds and seedlings from early-season insect pressure and seed/soil-borne disease infection. - Multi-site / multi-group resistance management value
IRAC 4A + FRAC 12 + FRAC 3 supports sound rotation/mixture strategy and reduces reliance on single-mode products in seedcare programs. - Reliable protection zone around the seed
Fludioxonil is widely positioned in leading seedcare portfolios as forming a long-lasting protection zone around the seed/young seedling. - Improved establishment and uniform emergence (positioning)
By reducing early disease pressure and controlling early sucking pests, CAPER is positioned to support more uniform emergence and stronger early growth (benefit claim should be confirmed by local trials). - FS formulation advantages for seed coating
Flowable seed-treatment format designed for uniform coverage, good film-forming on seed, reduced dust-off when applied correctly, and convenient on-farm/seed plant application.
Application Method:
| Crop | Target pests/diseases | Dosage | Method |
| Wheat | Aphids; Loose smut; Take-all | 200–300 g / 100 kg seed | Seed coating |
| Peanut | Grubs; Aphids; Leaf spot; Basal stem rot | 200–300 g / 100 kg seed | Seed coating |
General seed-coating guidance (best practice):
Mix the required amount with a suitable volume of water if needed, apply evenly to seed with a seed treater or rotating mixer, then dry treated seed in shade before sowing. Avoid excessive water that may reduce seed flowability.
Precautions (professional, compliance-safe)
- Treated seed is not for food/feed. Do not use treated seed for human consumption or animal feed; store treated seed securely and clearly labeled. (This is consistent with major seed-treatment labels.)
- Environmental protection (birds/wildlife): Do not leave treated seed exposed on the soil surface; collect spills and ensure treated seed is properly covered/buried after sowing.
- Pollinator protection: Imidacloprid (neonicotinoid) can pose risks to pollinators if misused or if dust-off occurs; follow local stewardship practices (minimize dust, avoid contamination of flowering weeds, follow label restrictions).
- Resistance management: Use as part of an integrated program; avoid repeated use of the same IRAC/FRAC groups without rotation where applicable.
- Compatibility: If mixing with additional seed-treatment products, perform a small compatibility test first (physical stability/seed flowability).
- Storage: Keep in original container, tightly closed, in a cool, dry, ventilated place; prevent freezing/overheating; keep away from children and unauthorized persons.
