Product Information
Mode of Action
Metrafenone disrupts fungal hyphal growth, penetration, and colony establishment, providing preventive and curative activity against powdery mildew pathogens (FRAC Group 50 – benzoylpyridines). Ethirimol inhibits RNA synthesis and fungal development, suppressing powdery mildew fungal growth (FRAC Group 8 – Aminopyrimidines).
Target Diseases
- Powdery mildew
Recommended Application Guidance
| Crop | Target Disease | Application Guidance |
|---|---|---|
| Wheat | Powdery mildew | Catch it early — treatment is markedly more effective before colonies are visibly established. |
| Grapes | Powdery mildew | Extend coverage into the fruit zone as clusters develop, not just the leaf canopy. |
| Ornamentals | Powdery mildew | Adjust spray frequency to match how quickly new susceptible growth appears. |
For specific ml/ha dosage rates and local dilution guidelines across registered crops, please refer to the registered product label or consult local agronomic specialists.
Application Instructions
1. Early Intervention Timing
Apply at the earliest sign of disease or prior to visible colony establishment in cereal crops like wheat to achieve maximum efficacy.
2. Fruit Zone & Flush Coverage
In vineyards, direct applications into the developing fruit cluster zone in addition to the upper leaf canopy. For ornamental crops, adjust treatment intervals dynamically as new susceptible growth emerges.
Safety & Environmental Care
Always wear proper personal protective equipment (gloves, goggles, mask, protective suit) during spray preparation, mixing, and application. Avoid chemical runoff or spray drift into aquatic systems and watercourses. Store in original sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from foodstuffs, drink, and animal feed.
