Disease Control (Preventive and Curative): It acts by inhibiting the germination of spores and blocking the mycelial growth of pathogens. It is highly effective against diseases such as downy mildew, late blight, and stem rot.
Systemic Protection: Once applied (foliar, soil drench, or trunk injection), the product is quickly absorbed by the plant and moves through its vascular system, providing long-lasting protection.
Induction of Plant Immunity: Fosetyl-Al enhances the plant’s natural defense mechanisms, stimulating the production of phytoalexins and pathogenesis-related proteins.
Crop Quality and Productivity: By controlling infections, it improves root and foliage development, ensuring better crop yield and quality.
Suitable Crops: While commonly used for high-value horticultural crops (avocado, citrus, grapes), it is also used on other crops to prevent diseases like Downy Mildew.
Application Methods:
Seed Treatment (ST): Improves allometric traits and protects against early disease.
Foliar Spray: Direct application to leaves.
Soil Drench/Drip Irrigation: Protects roots from root rot
