Active Ingredients and Dual Mode of Action
EverGol Xtend combines an advanced SDHI carboxamide with a proven strobilurin QoI inhibitor in a specialized flowable seed treatment (FS) formulation.
Penflufen inhibits succinate dehydrogenase (Complex II) in fungal mitochondria, while trifloxystrobin blocks cytochrome b (Complex III), shutting down cellular respiration at two distinct sites.
- Penflufen (SDHI): Powerful carboxamide with high systemic affinity for basidiomycete fungi like Rhizoctonia
- Trifloxystrobin (Strobilurin): Broad-spectrum protectant and translaminar inhibitor preventing spore germination
- Dual-Site Respiration Block: Dual inhibition prevents fungal resistance and ensures dependable early seedling defense
- Flowable Concentrate (FS): Formulated with specialized sticker polymers that adhere tightly to seed coats without flaking off into drill hoppers
Target Diseases and Seedling Emergence
Soil-borne and seed-borne fungal blights attack delicate sprouting seedlings before or immediately after emergence, causing poor crop stands.
EverGol Xtend protects sprouting taproots, ensuring high germination percentages and uniform plant stands.
- Soybean: Rhizoctonia root rot, collar rot, and seedling damping-off
- Groundnut (Peanut): Collar rot (Aspergillus niger) and stem rot (Sclerotium rolfsii)
- Pulses (Chickpea, Blackgram): Vascular Fusarium wilt and dry root rot during early vegetative establishment
- Root Vigor: Stimulates longer, denser lateral root development, enhancing early moisture and nutrient mining
Application Protocol and Seed Treatment Standards
Treat certified seeds before sowing using a closed mechanical seed treater or by thoroughly rolling seeds in a clean plastic drum.
Allow treated seeds to dry in the shade for 15 to 20 minutes before loading into seed drills or manual sowing.
- Application Dosage: Apply at 1 to 1.25 ml per kilogram of seed diluted in 10 to 15 ml of clean water
- Uniform Coating: Ensure every seed is evenly coated with the pink tracer dye without cracking fragile soybean seed coats
- Rhizobium Compatibility: Compatible with beneficial Rhizobium and PSB bio-inoculants when applied sequentially

Common questions
What is EverGol Xtend used for?
EverGol Xtend is a systemic seed treatment fungicide used to protect soybean, groundnut, and pulse seedlings from damping-off, collar rot, and root rots.
What are the active ingredients in EverGol Xtend?
It contains penflufen 13.28% plus trifloxystrobin 13.28% FS, combining SDHI and strobilurin chemistries.
Can EverGol Xtend be used with Rhizobium bio-fertilizers?
Yes, fungicides are applied first to the seed coat, allowed to dry, and followed by Rhizobium bacterial inoculants before sowing.
