Key Features
- Fully systemic: absorbed through leaves and roots, and translocated both upwards (acropetally) and downwards (basipetally), offering complete plant protection.
- Dual mode of action:
- Inhibits spore germination and mycelial growth
- Enhances the plant’s natural defense by activating the synthesis of phytoalexins and phenolic compounds
- Rainfast: binds quickly to plant tissues (within ~1 hour)
- Ideal for resistance management: low risk of resistance development
Crops & Target Diseases
Suitable for a wide range of crops:
- Crops: grapevine, citrus, pome fruits (apple, pear), strawberry, tomato, potato, cucumber, zucchini, watermelon, onion, lettuce, floriculture, ornamentals, pineapple, and more
- Diseases:
- Phytophthora (root/crown rots)
- Downy mildews (Peronospora, Pseudoperonospora)
- Red stele disease in strawberries
- Blister spot on apples, fire blight (Erwinia) in pome fruits
Dosage & Application
- General dose: 2–5 kg/ha, depending on crop and disease pressure
- Indicative examples:
- Cucumber/Zucchini: 200–300 g/100 L of water (~600 g/1,000 m²)
- Onion: 2 kg/ha (20 g/10 L of water)
- Apple/Pear: 2–3.75 kg/ha for fire blight prevention
- Timing: Apply preventively or at the first signs of infection
- Application methods: Foliar spray or through soil drenching/irrigation
- Spray intervals: every 7–14 days
- Pre-harvest interval (PHI): varies from 3 to 60 days depending on the crop
Usage Guidelines
- Apply using low-pressure spraying – aerial application is not recommended
- Compatibility: generally compatible, but do not mix with copper-based products, foliar fertilizers, or oil-based formulations
- Not suitable for organic farming
️ Safety & Handling
- Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- Re-entry interval (REI): 12 hours or until the spray has dried
- Protect water sources – maintain buffer zones from irrigation canals and bodies of water
- Dispose of product and packaging in accordance with local regulations
