Seican is a new fungicide and insecticide for pest control and diseases. Developed from an exclusive formulation of botanical-based substances, Seican provides a powerful knock-down effect against a large number of species of powdery mildew, botrytis, insects, and mites. Plus, it boasts a multi-site mode of action.

“Seican provides a curative action that prevents the spread of fungi,” José Ángel Talavera, CCO of Seipasa, says. “As a fungicide, Seican breaks down the sporulation and causes fungus dehydration, causing the disappearance of leaf symptoms.”

Talavera says Seican can penetrate the body of insects and mites to cause a dehydration and death.

“The product presents a very high efficacy in each and every target. In addition, due to its novel multi-site mode of action, Seican does not generate resistances.” Talavera says.
