GRICUR

Advanced crop protection for vegetables

When it comes to greenhouse and field production of tomatoes and cucumbers, the stakes are high. Root rots, late blight (phytophthora), and downy mildew can destroy a harvest in days. Grikur, developed by Agri Sciences Tarim ve Ilac, provides a robust solution by leveraging the dual power of systemic and contact action to stop diseases in their tracks.

Why Grikur stands out

At the heart of Grikur is propamocarb hydrochloride, a carbamate fungicide known for its superior ability to penetrate plant tissues and neutralize fungal metabolism. Unlike basic fungicides, Grikur offers a comprehensive defense strategy:

• Systemic Efficacy: The active ingredient moves through the plant, protecting new leaves and stems that grow after the initial application.
• Targeted Action: It is specifically optimized to combat Oomycetes, making it a powerful weapon against devastating soil-borne and foliar pathogens.
• Practical Formulation: As a water-soluble concentrate, it ensures easy handling and rapid absorption by the plant, which is crucial under high disease pressure.

Application insights for professionals

Grikur is designed for efficiency, with a recommended application rate of 3 L/ha. To maintain efficacy and prevent resistance, limit the usage to 2–3 treatments per season. With a pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 10–20 days, it offers the flexibility needed for commercial vegetable production. Whether you are dealing with damp conditions in the greenhouse or unpredictable weather in the open field, Grikur provides the reliability that commercial growers require. Its strength lies in its ability to act both as a preventive barrier and a corrective treatment, making it a cornerstone for integrated pest management programs.
