Malachite

Integrated Protection for Apple Orchards

In high-intensity apple production, the pressure from scab and powdery mildew can jeopardize the entire harvest. «Malakhit» by BASF SE provides a robust, dual-action solution, engineered to manage fungal threats effectively through both systemic and contact mechanisms.

Key Advantages for Agricultural Management

• Synergistic Action: The combination of dithianon and pyrimethanil provides a two-pronged attack. The contact component establishes a protective barrier on the foliage, while the systemic component penetrates tissues to neutralize infections from within.
• Adaptability: Ideal for variable spring weather, this fungicide ensures consistent performance even during rainy periods, safeguarding new vegetative growth as it emerges.
• Operational Efficiency: With a recommended dosage of 1.5–2 L/ha, «Malakhit» is designed for efficiency on large-scale operations. The suspension concentrate formulation ensures ease of tank mixing and uniform coverage across the canopy.

Implementation in Orchard Operations

For optimal disease management, the program allows for up to 3 applications per season. It is vital to adhere to the 21-day pre-harvest interval to ensure safety and quality standards. By integrating «Malakhit» into your seasonal schedule, you mitigate the risk of cosmetic damage to the fruit, ensuring your harvest meets market demands for premium quality.

Choosing this BASF solution means investing in the stability of your crop, allowing for more predictable results in your orchard's disease control program.
