Dual active chemistries and physiological action
EverGol Xtend unites two distinct modes of action in a specialized seed-coating formulation.
Technical breakdown of constituents:
- Penflufen (13.28% FS): Belongs to the succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI) class (FRAC Group 7), blocking fungal Complex II cellular respiration.
- Trifloxystrobin (13.28% FS): Belongs to the strobilurin / QoI class (FRAC Group 11), disrupting electron transport at Complex III in fungal mitochondria.
- Flowable suspension (FS): Specially designed for smooth seed adherence, forming a uniform, low-dust protective barrier over seed coats.
- Enhanced root architecture: Stimulates early root elongation and lateral branching, improving seedling nutrient uptake and drought tolerance.
- Systemic halo effect: Extends a protective chemical halo into surrounding soil, shielding delicate germinating radicles from fungal infection.
Approved crops and key target diseases
EverGol Xtend is approved by the Central Insecticides Board for seed treatment in oilseed crops:
Primary target diseases:
- Soybean: Rhizoctonia aerial blight, collar rot (Rhizoctonia solani), and seedling damping-off.
- Groundnut: Collar rot (Aspergillus niger), root rot, and stem rot (Sclerotium rolfsii).
- Pulses (Chickpea, Pigeon pea): Seed rot and early Fusarium seedling wilt protection.
- Stand establishment: Ensures dense, uniform crop emergence, reducing the need for costly gap-filling or reseeding.
Seed treatment instructions and safety protocols
Dilute EverGol Xtend with a small quantity of water (typically 1 to 1.25 ml per kilogram of seed) to create a slurry. Mix evenly with certified seeds in a seed treatment drum or polythene bag until seeds are uniformly coated. Allow seeds to dry in the shade before inoculation with Rhizobium or Trichoderma and sowing. Treated seeds must strictly never be consumed by humans or livestock.

Common questions
What is the technical composition of EverGol Xtend?
EverGol Xtend contains Penflufen 13.28% plus Trifloxystrobin 13.28% FS.
Which seedling diseases does EverGol Xtend control in soybean and groundnut?
It controls Rhizoctonia collar rot, damping-off, root rot, and Aspergillus crown rot.
Can EverGol Xtend-treated seeds be inoculated with Rhizobium biofertilizers?
Yes, seeds can be treated with EverGol Xtend first, allowed to dry in shade, and subsequently coated with compatible biofertilizers before sowing.
