Why Acrobat MZ is a staple in professional crop protection

In high-intensity farming, where pathogens like late blight or downy mildew can devastate a crop in just a few days, reliability is the most important factor. The product from Basf S.A. distinguishes itself by combining dimethomorph and mancozeb. This is not just a standard contact fungicide; it acts as a robust, dual-action complex that guards crops from the inside out.

Core Advantages

• Translaminar Action: Dimethomorph penetrates plant tissues, ensuring that parts of the leaf surface missed by the sprayer are still protected.
• 'Stop' Effect: The preparation effectively inhibits spore production at early infection stages, making it indispensable during periods of fluctuating weather conditions.
• Resistance Management: The synergistic combination of active ingredients prevents pathogens from developing resistance, ensuring consistently high results season after season.

Ideal for specific crops

Acrobat MZ shows exceptional efficacy on crops highly susceptible to oomycetes, such as potatoes, grapes, and onions. It is particularly valued in high-humidity regions where downy mildew and alternaria pose a constant threat to profitability.

Application Insights

The water-dispersible granule formulation ensures easy mixing without sediment, making it operator-friendly. With a dosage range of 2.0–3.0 L/ha, it is essential to align the application with the plant's growth stage. The maximum limit of 3 applications per season, combined with a 20-day pre-harvest interval, requires precise scheduling but guarantees maximum safety for the final consumer.

Pros: Rapid action and deep tissue penetration.
Cons: Classified under danger level 2; strictly follow safety protocols and avoid application near water bodies.
