Advanced systemic control: Xeон fungicide

In modern crop management, preventing the spread of oomycetes is vital for maintaining yield stability. «Xeon» (Ксеон), developed by the Vitagro Group of Companies, is a systemic fungicide engineered to address severe fungal pressures across various key crops. By combining cymoxanil and metalaxyl, this product provides both preventative protection and curative "stop-effect" capabilities, effectively halting pathogen development at the microscopic level.

Target Crops and Disease Management

The product is specifically designed to manage high-risk pathogens that thrive in fluctuating weather conditions. It is widely used for:

• Vineyards: combatting downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola).
• Potatoes and tomatoes: preventing late blight (Phytophthora).
• Sunflowers: controlling downy mildew (Peronospora).

The systemic nature of the fungicide ensures that the active ingredients are absorbed into the plant tissue, protecting not only the areas hit by the sprayer but also the new growth emerging post-application.

Application Guidelines

Available as a wettable powder, Xeon offers consistent performance in the field. To ensure the best results and compliance with agricultural safety standards, the following parameters should be observed:

• Application Rate: 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, depending on infection density.
• Treatment Frequency: 2 to 4 applications per season, depending on the crop and regional disease pressure.
• Pre-harvest Interval: 20–30 days must be observed before harvesting to ensure crop safety.
• Safety Profile: Classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard protective equipment during mixing and application.

Xeon's formulation provides excellent resistance to wash-off, ensuring that the active components remain on the leaf surface even after light rainfall. By integrating this solution into a standard spray program, producers can significantly mitigate the economic impact of fungal outbreaks, ensuring healthier crops and a more predictable harvest season.
