How it works
- Wheat – GEMINI delivers unequalled suppression of Fusarium crown and root rot on wheat.
- Barley – Proven excellence in the control of true loose smut on barley*.
- Crop yields – Treatment with GEMINI nets better returns and gives your crop a leg up on higher yields.
*Suppression is defined as suboptimal control which is still of commercial benefit (PMRA Reg. Dir. 2003-04).
