Flint Star 520 SC

Double strike against fungal infections

«Flint Star 520 SC» by Bayer is a professional solution for intensive orchards and vineyards. When weather conditions trigger rapid pathogen development, this product demonstrates a synergy of two powerful active ingredients: trifloxystrobin and pyrimethanil. Unlike mono-component agents, this fungicide acts in two ways: blocking the respiration of fungal cells and disrupting their metabolism, which effectively eliminates the risk of resistance development.

Key Advantages

• Systemic and translaminar action: The product quickly penetrates plant tissues and redistributes within, protecting not only treated areas but also new growth.
• Versatility: Highly effective against a wide range of rots (gray, fruit), scab, and powdery mildew on apples, pears, and grapes.
• Wash-off resistance: The suspension concentrate formulation features excellent adhesion, which is critical in regions with unpredictable rainfall.

Application and Efficiency

The manufacturer recommends a maximum of 2–3 treatments per season. Given its systemic action, «Flint Star 520 SC» serves as high-end protection, ideally suited for periods of heavy infection pressure. An application rate of up to 0.5 l/ha allows for cost-efficient hectare management even in high-density plantings.

Strengths: Superior curative effect combined with long-lasting preventive protection. The fungicide effectively «seals» infection spots, preventing their spread throughout the orchard.

Limitations: It is mandatory to observe a 20-day pre-harvest interval. As a class 3 hazardous substance, it requires standard safety measures during handling.

This product is an optimal choice for agronomists aiming for high-quality marketable yields without the risk of produce spoilage due to fruit rot or scab.
