Concento 450 SC

Dual-Action Protection: The Science Behind Consento 450 SC

Effective crop protection against oomycetes requires a multi-target approach. Consento 450 SC achieves this by combining Fenamidone (125 g/L) and Propamocarb hydrochloride (375 g/L). This formulation is designed for systemic control of Late Blight, Early Blight, and Downy Mildew in vegetable crops and potatoes.

Core Technical Components

• Fenamidone (Imidazolinone class): Acts as a potent mitochondrial respiration inhibitor. By disrupting the electron transport chain in the pathogen’s cytochrome system, it effectively halts spore germination and development upon contact.
• Propamocarb Hydrochloride (Carbamate class): Provides systemic, acropetal movement within the plant. As it travels through the xylem, it protects new foliage growth, a critical requirement for maintaining yield potential in rapidly developing crops like potatoes and onions.

Operational Efficiency in the Field

As a suspension concentrate, Consento 450 SC offers superior adhesion to leaf surfaces. This physical property, combined with its systemic activity, ensures that the active ingredients penetrate the plant tissues, providing a robust defense that resists being washed off by rainfall shortly after application.

Recommended application rates are between 1.5 and 2.0 liters per hectare. To maximize efficacy and manage resistance, a maximum of 3 applications per season is recommended. Growers must adhere to a 14-day pre-harvest interval to ensure the complete metabolism of the active ingredients.

The product's formulation is backed by rigorous manufacturing standards from established European partners. By acting both as a contact barrier on the surface and a systemic agent within the plant's vascular system, Consento 450 SC provides a reliable shield against epiphytotic threats, securing crop health during the most vulnerable stages of growth.
