Fregat

Reliable vineyard protection against downy mildew

When it comes to preserving a grape harvest, there is no room for compromise. "Fregat," manufactured by Flechem International Co., Ltd., has become a staple tool for us, proving reliable even during seasons with high humidity. It is a systemic fungicide that confidently halts the development of downy mildew by penetrating plant tissues to provide long-lasting protection.

Application and Effectiveness

As practice shows, it is crucial to strictly follow the regulations when using this suspension concentrate. We apply it at a rate of 0.5 to 1.0 l/ha, depending on the severity of the infection and weather conditions. The advantage of this product lies in its systemic action: it redistributes rapidly within the plant, which is vital for vines that grow vegetative mass quickly.

• Action Mechanism: The combination of cymoxanil and dimethomorph allows for blocking the pathogen at various stages of development.
• Treatment Schedule: Up to 3 applications per season are permitted. We try to rotate "Fregat" with other fungicide classes to prevent resistance.
• Safety: The product is classified as hazard class 3, which requires standard safety measures for the operator and adherence to a 30-day pre-harvest interval.

Agronomist’s Recommendations

The main advantage of "Fregat" is its consistency. This is not the type of fungicide that works sporadically. When applied correctly in vineyards, it creates an effective barrier against fungal disease. It is important to remember that the final application must be carried out at least one month before harvest. Over years of use, we have confirmed that proper sprayer calibration and timing are 80% of the success when using this compound.
