Kemistar

Systemic Protection for Orchards and Vineyards

In the segment of fungicides focused on combating powdery mildew, the "Kemistar" product occupies a niche of reliable solutions for intensive horticulture. Developed by the manufacturing facilities of Sinochem Hebei Corporation (Shijiazhuang, China) and introduced to the market by Kemiline Agro, this fungicide relies on a classic, time-tested active ingredient — penconazole from the triazole group.

Mechanism of Action and Application

The key feature of "Kemistar" lies in its combined effect on the pathogen: the product exhibits both systemic and contact activity. The penconazole contained in the formulation blocks the biosynthesis of ergosterol in fungal cells, leading to the inhibition of mycelial growth and the cessation of sporulation. Due to its formulation (aqueous emulsion), the compound effectively penetrates plant tissues, providing long-lasting protection for apple trees and grapevines.

• Apple trees: The primary application spectrum is aimed at controlling powdery mildew, which can significantly reduce the marketability of fruits and overall yields.
• Vineyards: The fungicide is an effective tool in protection against oidium, preventing berry cracking and damage to grape bunches.

Classified as a Hazard Class 3 product, it requires standard precautions to be followed when handling agrochemicals. Its systemic properties allow for the rapid containment of infection centers, making it a highly sought-after component in integrated pest management programs.
