AntraCol 70WP

Protecting Crops with Reliable Fungicide Technology

Antracol 70WP is a staple in modern crop protection, chosen by agronomists for its consistency and effectiveness against a wide range of fungal diseases. Formulated with propineb (a dithiocarbamate), this fungicide is renowned for its multi-site mode of action. This means it attacks pathogens at multiple points, making it an essential tool to prevent the development of resistance in fungal populations.

Practical Field Application

• Vineyards: Primarily used to manage downy mildew (mildew). It forms a robust protective film on leaves and clusters, essential for early-season protection.
• Orchards: Effective for preventing scab in apples. Its contact action acts as a preventative shield, blocking spore germination upon contact.
• Vegetable Crops: Essential for potatoes and tomatoes against late blight and alternaria, as well as for onions to combat downy mildew (peronosporosis). It is particularly effective in high-humidity conditions.

Technical Guidance for Spray Programs

Supplied as a wettable powder, Antracol 70WP is easy to prepare and integrates well into existing spraying schedules. With a application rate of 1.5–2 kg per hectare, it provides optimal coverage. Since it is primarily a contact fungicide, thorough application is necessary to ensure every part of the plant is shielded. A maximum of 3–4 applications per season is recommended. Growers must observe the pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 20–40 days to ensure crop safety and compliance with quality standards.

The product is manufactured by a consortium of industry leaders, including Bayer AG (Germany), Excwold Technologies Ltd (UK), Bayer SAS (France), and Schirm GmbH (Germany). This manufacturing footprint ensures consistent formulation quality, meeting the high standards required for modern agricultural equipment.
