Application Information
Gemini is a ready-to-use seed treatment formulation for use in commercial seed treatment plants and for use in
on-farm standard gravity flow or mist type treatment machines. Gemini can also be used in “On the Go” air seeder
treatment systems. When used at the recommended rate of 360 mL/100 kg seed, no additional dyes or dilutions with
water are needed unless recommended by the manufacturer of the seed treatment application equipment/machines.
How it Works
The active ingredients in Gemini are triticonazole and thiram. Triticonazole is a triazole fungicide that provides
systemic broad spectrum protection against seed- and soil-borne diseases. Thiram is a dithiocarbamate fungicide with
contact activity.
