Geox 50 WG

Advanced decay protection: how Geox 50 WG functions

The efficacy of Geox 50 WG is rooted in its active ingredient, fludioxonil, which belongs to the phenylpyrrole class. Unlike systemic fungicides, this preparation exerts a potent contact action, forming a resilient protective barrier on the fruit surface and vegetative parts of the plant. Fludioxonil inhibits mycelial growth and suppresses pathogen sporulation by blocking glycerol synthesis and disrupting the osmotic regulation of fungal cells.

Technical specifications and practical utility

• Optimized formulation: The water-dispersible granule (WG) format ensures rapid dissolution in the spray tank and uniform distribution of the active substance, which is critical for protecting crops like strawberries, pome fruits, and grapes.
• Contact action efficiency: The product is highly effective against Monilinia, fruit rot, and grey rot, providing rapid knockdown of pathogens on the plant surface.
• Application flexibility: With a dosage rate ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 kg/ha and a maximum of 2 applications per season, farmers can precisely tailor their pest management strategy to specific environmental conditions.

A major technical advantage of Geox 50 WG is its short pre-harvest interval (PHI) of only 7 days. This allows for late-stage treatment, ensuring the fruit remains free from decay during storage and logistics. Classified under hazard class 3, it is a reliable solution for integrated crop management. By choosing this Syngenta solution, producers secure the marketability of their yield, reducing losses from latent infections and maintaining superior fruit quality until the consumer receives the product.
