Cantor

Advanced crop protection for orchards and vineyards from Щелково Агрохім-KZ

In modern fruit production, controlling fungal pathogens is critical to achieving high yields and quality standards. The "Kantor" fungicide, produced by the Kazakh company Щелково Агрохім-KZ, serves as a dual-action tool providing both contact and systemic protection for a wide range of horticultural crops and vineyards.

The active ingredient, cyprodinil (a member of the anilinopyrimidine family), is known for its ability to inhibit the biosynthesis of amino acids in fungi. A key technical advantage of "Kantor" is its efficacy in cooler weather conditions, making it an excellent choice for early-season applications when pathogens like scab (Venturia) are most active, even before spring temperatures rise significantly.

Application and Effectiveness

"Kantor" is designed to address the most common and damaging diseases in agricultural landscapes:

• Pome and Stone Fruits: apples, pears, apricots, cherries, and plums. It is highly effective against moniliosis, scab, and clasterosporiosis.
• Viticulture: provides reliable control of oidium and grey rot (Botrytis).

The product is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, which ensures good adherence to plant tissues. Depending on the crop and infection pressure, the application rate typically ranges from 0.5 to 2.0 liters per hectare. With a limit of 2-3 applications per season, it provides enough flexibility to fit into most integrated pest management (IPM) strategies without promoting rapid resistance development.

Why choose Kantor?

Falling into toxicity class 3, "Kantor" is manageable for professional use while requiring standard safety protocols. By combining contact action (preventing spore germination) and systemic action (stopping mycelial growth), it acts as a robust barrier. This ensures that growers can protect the harvest from flowering through to the ripening phase, maintaining both yield quantity and the commercial appearance of the produce.
