Working principle

Three basic components of the drug provide the following qualities:

Each of the Celeste Max components has its own operating principles:

1. Fludioxonil is a broad spectrum fungicide with the characteristics of natural antifungals. It affects the rate of mycelium development by inhibiting the formation of glucose.
2. Tebuconazole is a systemic fungicide that inhibits the formation of ergosterol in the cell membranes of pathogens. Also has the properties of a regulator and growth stimulator.
3. Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid insecticide that can be absorbed into and spread through plant vessels, making the sprouts toxic to pests.

The composition of the drug provides its high protective qualities, promotes high germination and safety of plants, crop growth.
