Magnicure Gard

French protection for high-value crops

In the professional fungicide market, Magnicur Gard by SBM Développement S.A.S. stands out due to its dual-action profile. By combining contact and systemic properties, the product provides a robust shield against pathogenic fungi, specifically targeting botrytis (gray mold) and moniliosis. The active ingredient, fenhexamid, forms a persistent protective film that remains effective even under varying weather conditions.

Key advantages and application insights

• Targeted Efficiency: Designed specifically for berries (strawberries, currants), grapes, and stone fruits like peaches, where gray mold is a primary threat to quality.
• Formulation Quality: The suspension concentrate ensures optimal solubility and uniform distribution in the spray tank, facilitating even coverage of the foliage and fruit.
• Strategic Use: With a recommended pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days and a maximum of 3 applications per season, it is best utilized during the critical growth stages to prevent outbreaks rather than just treating established infections.

Magnicur Gard is the ideal choice for growers who prioritize crop quality and storage potential. By blocking the infection process at the spore stage, it significantly reduces the likelihood of rot developing during harvest and transport.

While powerful, users should adhere to the safety protocols associated with its Class 3 hazard classification. Its specific action makes it an essential tool in a rotation program for those looking to maintain high standards of phytosanitary control in orchards and vineyards.
