Mildew is a fungus which reduces plant growth and development. The seed may be infected by mildew spores or mildew spores in the ground may infect young plants. The treatment of seeds with Apron Plus is an efficient method to reduce mildew attacks. At the Ségou research station in Mali, it has been demonstrated that seed treatment with Apron Plus increases millet yield by 30% (ISNAR 2007).
