Flexit

Professional powdery mildew control with Flexity

For cereal crop growers, powdery mildew represents a persistent threat to yield potential. Flexity, a specialized fungicide from Basf S.A., is engineered to address this challenge with precision. Originating from the company's research, this systemic solution has become a staple for wheat and barley protection, known for its unique mode of action within the benzophenone class.

How Flexity protects your crops

The active ingredient, metrafenone, distinguishes Flexity from common azole or strobilurin-based products. It interferes with the fungal infection process by inhibiting mycelium growth and spore formation. A standout feature of this systemic fungicide is its "gas-phase" distribution, allowing the active ingredient to redistribute effectively within the canopy, ensuring protection for dense, hard-to-reach parts of the plant.

Key performance characteristics:

• Application crops: Winter and spring wheat, winter barley.
• Usage rate: Up to 0.5 L/ha, ensuring optimal coverage and cost-efficiency.
• Application limit: 1–2 treatments per season, providing flexibility during the growing cycle.
• Safety and harvest: Classified as hazard class 3, with a 30-day pre-harvest interval.
• Formulation: Suspension concentrate, ensuring stable tank mixing and superior leaf adhesion.

Flexity is an essential tool for integrated pest management. It is designed for agronomists who prioritize preventative strategy. By protecting the upper leaves and ears from the early stages of infestation, it ensures the crop reaches its full biological potential. The systemic properties ensure that the fungicide remains effective even as the plant continues to develop, providing lasting defense throughout the critical growth stages.
