Alkoban 700 WG

Professional scab control for your orchard

In high-intensity orcharding, managing scab is a constant challenge where even minor outbreaks can downgrade your produce from premium to industrial grade. Alcoban 700 WG from the Belgian company Globachem is a specialized fungicide developed to provide a robust defense for pome and stone fruits, trusted by agronomists for its consistency in the field.

Why choose Alcoban 700 WG

The core of this fungicide is dithianon, an active ingredient renowned in professional horticulture for its superior preventive properties. Alcoban 700 WG creates a resilient protective film on leaf and fruit surfaces that resists washing off by rain, a critical feature for successful spring programs when weather conditions are unpredictable.

• Pome Fruits (Apples & Pears): Ideal for early-season applications starting from the green tip stage to prevent primary scab infections by blocking spore germination.
• Stone Fruits (Cherries & Peaches): Provides excellent control against fungal leaf spots, maintaining healthy foliage throughout the growing season.

Field Application Tips

Alcoban 700 WG comes in the form of water-dispersible granules, which are highly user-friendly. The formulation dissolves quickly in the spray tank, produces no dust, and keeps nozzles clean, ensuring maximum operational efficiency. The recommended dosage rate is 0.5 to 1.0 kg/ha depending on the infection pressure and the development stage of the crop. With a maximum limit of three treatments per season, it is best utilized in rotation with other chemical classes to effectively manage resistance development.

Safety is paramount; as a class 3 hazard product, ensure all standard protective measures are followed during mixing and application. By integrating Alcoban 700 WG into your spray program, you gain a reliable tool for protecting your orchard against diseases while ensuring top-tier fruit quality at harvest.
