Merpan 80 w.g.

Reliable Protection for Apple Orchards

When it comes to controlling apple scab and fruit rots, working with Merpan 80 WDG by F.Makhteshim Chemical Works has become a standard for those who prioritize the marketability of their yield. This fungicide is a case where the contact mechanism works proactively, creating a barrier on the surface of leaves and fruit that pathogens cannot breach.

Operational Features

• Solution Preparation: The product is formulated as water-dispersible granules. They dissolve perfectly and do not clog sprayer nozzles, which is critical during intensive treatments of large areas.
• Application Flexibility: The consumption rate varies from 1.9 to 2.5 kg/ha depending on the infection pressure. It is important to remember that since we are dealing with a contact fungicide, the quality of tree coverage is key to success.
• Protection Schedule: Up to 3–5 treatments per season are allowed. This allows for a well-structured protection scheme, alternating the product with other fungicides to prevent fungal resistance.

Important Tips for Agronomists

When using this product, always keep in mind the pre-harvest interval, which is 20–30 days. This time is necessary for the complete metabolism of the active ingredient (captan) and ensuring the safety of the final product. The toxicity class 3 requires standard safety measures when handling chemicals: protective clothing, respiratory protection, and skin coverage are mandatory.

The application of Merpan 80 WDG is effective against a wide spectrum of threats: from classic phyllosticta leaf spot to the insidious bitter rot. The Israeli formulation quality from F.Makhteshim Chemical Works provides predictable results, allowing you to plan yields without nasty surprises like rotten fruit during the sorting phase.
