Advanced Biological Marketing has recently introduced T-22 for Wheat, a new companion fungicide that has been proven to increase yield while protecting wheat from disease for the entire growing season. T-22 was originally launched for winter wheat, but is now available for both spring and winter wheat for the 2005 planting season.

T-22 for Wheat contains a strain of the beneficial fungus Trichoderma Harzianum Rifai, developed at Cornell University, and has been proven to protect wheat plants from soil-borne pathogens Pythium, Fusarium, Sclerotina and Rhizoctonia.

T-22 for Wheat is both EPA approved and certified organic and does not affect ground water or runoff.

T-22 for Wheat is a companion product and works best when used in conjunction with a traditional fungicide. Traditional fungicides only work during the first few weeks of a plants life, then become ineffective at preventing disease. T-22 for Wheat begins to work when the traditional fungicide stops, and protects the plant from disease for the remainder of the plants life.

The fungicide has been thoroughly tested for the past seven years in 83 independent and university direct comparisons. T-22 for Wheat has proven to increase yield by up to 5.49 bushels per acre. The product encourages increased tillering, so there are more wheat shoots per plant. By promoting faster root and shoot development and greater root mass, T-22 for Wheat also improves nutrient uptake and creates a healthier plant that reduces lodging, making harvest easier.

T-22 for Wheat is effective in most soil types and is compatible with commercially applied seed treatments, said Dan Custis, president of Advanced Biological Marketing. We believe that T-22 for Wheat usage is an absolutely necessary element of wheat farming today, particularly when you factor in the additional profit that can be earned.
