CIDELE TOP 140 DC

Why Cidely Top 140 DC is a game-changer for powdery mildew control

Controlling powdery mildew and scab in high-value crops requires more than just a standard fungicide; it demands a precise mechanism of action. Cidely Top 140 DC by Syngenta combines cyflufenamid and difenoconazole, creating a dual-action system that is both contact-based and systemic. This unique composition prevents spore germination while simultaneously halting the growth of existing mycelium.

Key advantages

• Superior Efficacy: The combination of contact and systemic properties ensures rapid uptake and protection that resists washing off by precipitation.
• Wide Temperature Adaptability: Unlike many triazole-based products, Cidely Top performs reliably even in cooler early-season conditions, making it perfect for early apple orchard protection.
• Crop Safety: Designed for high-performance agriculture, this fungicide helps maintain the premium market quality of apples, cucumbers, and tomatoes.

Application and Quality Assurance

Cidely Top 140 DC is manufactured by Syngenta Crop Protection AG (Basel, Switzerland), with rigorous production standards across their global facilities in Montey, Omaha, Seneffe, Aig Viv, and Kemarke. This global footprint ensures that the suspension concentrate formulation remains stable and effective.

With a dosage range of 0.5–1.0 L/ha and a maximum of two applications per season, it is designed for integration into sophisticated pest management programs. Growers should rotate this product with other chemical classes to maintain long-term efficacy and prevent pathogen resistance. The pre-harvest interval ranges from 3 to 20 days, allowing flexibility depending on the specific crop variety and local environmental conditions.
