Fungicide GART

Copper-based protection for vineyards and tomatoes

In the field of crop protection, contact fungicides remain an essential tool for preventing fungal outbreaks. The fungicide GART, based on copper hydroxide, acts as a protective barrier on the surface of plants, preventing spores of pathogens from germinating and penetrating plant tissues. This makes it an ideal solution for preventive measures during high-risk seasons.

Field Application Scenarios

Agronomists incorporate GART into their spray programs to address specific phytosanitary challenges:

• Viticulture: Control of downy mildew. The product is particularly effective in maintaining a high level of protection during wet weather when disease pressure is elevated.
• Tomato Production: Combating late blight and early blight (alternaria). Furthermore, the copper component provides a significant bactericidal effect, helping to suppress bacterial diseases that often thrive alongside fungal infections.

Best Practices for Use

Formulated as water-dispersible granules, GART is designed for ease of preparation. The application rate ranges from 1.5 to 3 kg per hectare. Because this is a contact fungicide, the efficacy depends heavily on the coverage quality; ensure that all plant surfaces, particularly the underside of the leaves, are thoroughly treated.

Produced through the cooperation of the Ukrainian manufacturer «Fabryka Ahrokhimikativ» and the Chinese company «F. Nanjing Essence Fine-Chemical Co., Ltd.», GART offers a reliable balance between efficacy and cost-effectiveness. The recommended schedule allows for 3–4 treatments per season, with a pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days. To manage resistance effectively, it is recommended to alternate GART with systemic fungicides as part of an integrated crop management strategy.
