Dresscare 10g is an advanced seed-care and seed-coat treatment system that protects crop seeds and young seedlings against early-stage insect pests, soil-borne diseases, and fungal infections, helping Ghanaian farmers achieve stronger germination, healthier crop establishment, and higher yields. At CETECH Ghana, Dresscare is available both online and in our Accra offline store, with nationwide delivery, bulk supply options, and farm input consultation support.

Dresscare 10g Advanced Seed-Care System for Ultimate Crop Protection in Ghana

Successful farming in Ghana starts before the seed enters the soil. The earliest growth stage is the most vulnerable to pest attack, fungal infection, and soil-related diseases. Dresscare 10g Advanced Seed-Care System is a professional-grade pre-plant seed treatment formulated to protect seeds and seedlings from these risks and support vigorous early crop development.

Dresscare is a versatile, systemic seed treatment product designed for cereals, legumes, and vegetables. It combines insecticidal and fungicidal protection in one integrated formulation. This makes it ideal for farmers, agribusiness operators, agro-input dealers, and commercial growers who want reliable crop establishment and reduced early-stage losses.

CETECH Ghana supplies original Dresscare 10g sachets for retail and bulk buyers, both online at cetechbpa.com and through our physical store in Accra, with advisory support for correct application and crop-specific usage.

What Dresscare Is and How It Works

Dresscare is a pre-plant seed-coat treatment applied directly to seeds before sowing. It forms a protective chemical barrier around each seed and delivers systemic protection as the seed germinates and the seedling grows.

It is formulated with three active components:

• Imidacloprid — a systemic insecticide
• Metalaxyl-M — a systemic fungicide
• Tebuconazole — a systemic fungicide with multiple actions

These active ingredients work synergistically to protect seeds and emerging seedlings against insect pests and fungal pathogens commonly found in Ghanaian soils and farm environments.

Because Dresscare is systemic, it is absorbed into the seed and young plant tissues. This means protection is not only external but also internal during the most critical early growth stages.

Active Ingredients and Technical Composition

Dresscare’s effectiveness comes from its combined systemic chemistry:

Imidacloprid (Systemic Insecticide)

• Controls early-season insect pests
• Protects against sucking and chewing insects
• Moves within plant tissues after germination
• Provides early-stage pest defense without immediate foliar spraying

Metalaxyl-M (Systemic Fungicide)

• Targets soil-borne and seed-borne fungal diseases
• Controls pathogens such as Pythium and Phytophthora species
• Protects against damping off and rot conditions
• Enhances seed survival in moist soils

Tebuconazole (Systemic Fungicide with Multiple Actions)

• Broad-spectrum fungal control
• Protects against smuts and mildews
• Supports healthier seedling development
• Adds extended disease protection coverage

This triple-action formulation makes Dresscare more comprehensive than single-ingredient seed treatments and more reliable under Ghana’s diverse farming conditions.

Crops Protected by Dresscare

Dresscare is suitable for a wide range of field and vegetable crops grown across Ghana. It is designed for both smallholder farms and commercial-scale operations.

Supported crops include:

• Cereals
• Rice
• Maize
• Millet
• Sorghum
• Beans
• Cowpea
• Soybean
• Groundnut
• Vegetable seeds

This makes Dresscare a practical multi-crop seed treatment solution for mixed farming systems and diversified agribusiness operations.

Pest and Disease Protection Coverage

Dresscare protects seeds and seedlings from major early-stage threats that commonly reduce plant stand and yield potential.

Insect pests controlled include:

• Ants
• Aphids
• Termites
• Leafhoppers
• Script reworms

Soil-borne and seed diseases controlled include:

• Downy mildew
• Late blight (Phytophthora spp.)
• Loose smut (Fusarium spp.)
• Pythium damping off (Pythium spp.)

By controlling both insect and fungal threats at the seed stage, Dresscare reduces early crop stress and supports uniform field emergence.

Key Benefits of Using Dresscare Seed Treatment

Using Dresscare before planting delivers measurable agronomic and economic benefits.

Primary benefits include:

• Guards against soil-borne pests and seed diseases
• Increases seed germination rates
• Promotes healthy early crop growth
• Reduces seed rot and seedling loss
• Improves plant vigor and uniform emergence
• Minimizes the need for post-planting chemical sprays
• Enhances harvest quality and yield potential
• Protects farmer investment in seeds and land preparation

For Ghanaian farmers facing unpredictable rainfall patterns and pest pressure, early protection is one of the most cost-effective yield strategies.

Directions for Use — Correct Seed Treatment Methods

Dresscare supports two practical application methods. Farmers and seed handlers can choose based on available tools and workflow.

Always treat seeds before planting and plant promptly after treatment.

Method 1: Plastic Bag Method

This method is suitable for small to medium seed quantities.

Steps:

1. Pour 50 ml of clean water into a plastic bag.
2. Add 1 sachet of Dresscare.
3. Mix the chemical thoroughly with the water.
4. Add the required quantity of seeds.
5. Shake the bag vigorously until seeds are evenly coated.
6. Remove and plant treated seeds promptly.

Method 2: Seed Pre-Wetting Method

This method is suitable for larger seed batches.

Steps:

1. Pre-wet seeds using 2 liters of water per 100 kg of seeds.
2. Shake or mix seeds thoroughly.
3. Add the necessary amount of Dresscare.
4. Mix until coating is uniform.
5. Immediately plant treated seeds.
6. Store dressed seeds only in jute bags if temporary holding is required.

Uniform coating is essential for consistent protection across all treated seeds.

Rate of Use by Crop Type

Dresscare 10g sachets are calibrated for specific seed weights by crop category. Correct dosing ensures effective protection without waste.

Groundnut, Cowpea, Soybean, Bean Seeds:

• Rate per sachet (10 grams): Treats 8 kg of seeds

Maize, Sorghum, Millet, Rice:

• Rate per sachet (10 grams): Treats 4 kg of seeds

Using the correct rate ensures optimal systemic uptake and full-spectrum protection.

CETECH Ghana can assist farmers and agro-dealers with rate calculations for bulk seed treatment programs.

Why Seed Treatment Is Essential in Ghana Farming Conditions

Seed and seedling losses often occur before farmers notice visible problems. Soil fungi, insects, and moisture-related pathogens attack at or just after planting.

Common Ghana farm challenges include:

• High soil moisture leading to damping off
• Termite and ant seed attacks
• Early aphid and leafhopper infestation
• Fungal seed rot
• Uneven field emergence

Seed treatment with Dresscare addresses these risks proactively rather than reactively. It is more efficient and cost-effective than waiting for crop damage and then spraying.

Performance Advantages Over Untreated Seeds

Compared to untreated seeds, Dresscare-treated seeds typically show:

• Faster and more uniform emergence
• Lower early-stage mortality
• Reduced replanting needs
• Stronger early root systems
• Better early leaf development
• Lower early pest pressure

This early advantage often translates into stronger mid-season crop performance and improved final yields.

Safety and Handling Best Practices

Dresscare is an agricultural chemical and should be handled using standard farm chemical safety practices.

Best practices:

• Wear gloves when mixing and treating seeds
• Avoid inhaling dust or direct contact
• Do not use treated seeds for food or feed
• Keep away from children and animals
• Wash hands after handling
• Use only as directed for seed treatment
