RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, North Carolina, US -– The US Environmental Protection Agency has approved registration for Charter F2, a BASF fungicide seed treatment labeled for use in wheat and barely. Charter F2 controls many common disease threats in grains, including Fusarium seed rot and seedling blight, damping-off, wheat common bunt, and wheat and barley loose smut, the company said in a press release, adding that the fungicide also provides suppression of Rhizoctonia root rot, common root rot and dry seed decay.

Charter F2 can be mixed with Stamina fungicide seed treatment for a broader and enhanced spectrum of disease control, as well as Axcess insecticide seed treatment for insect control, says BASF.
