Maxentis: Adama introduces simple, flexible and effective disease control this spring
28th February 2025
Crop protection company Adama said that this season farmers can make disease control easier with its broad-spectrum fungicide, Maxentis.
Maxentis is a versatile, two-in-one fungicide designed to fit seamlessly into farmers’ spray programmes.
A spokesperson for Adama said: “Whether you’re looking to keep rust in check at T0 or a flexible partner product to use in conjunction with other fungicides across a range of spray timings, Maxentis delivers reliable, cost-effective protection thanks to its unique co-formulation of two trusted actives: azoxystrobin and prothioconazole.”
Two trusted actives, one convenient solution
The company explained that Maxentis takes the hassle out of disease management by combining 200 g/l azoxystrobin with 150 g/l prothioconazole in an easy-to-use formulation that offers broad-spectrum disease control.
It is designed to work across multiple crops at a range of rates and timings, with its ability to be used with a wide array of partner products making disease control simpler.
