Mycrofier 260 EC

Innovative multi-active formulation

At the core of "Makfire 260 EC" lies a synergy of three potent compounds, each targeting pathogens at distinct growth stages. The combination of Fluopyram (pyrazole-carboxamide) and Bixafen effectively blocks mitochondrial respiration in fungi (SDHI inhibitors), depleting the energy reserves required for pathogen development. The third component, Prothioconazole (a triazole), disrupts fungal cell membranes by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis. This tripartite approach ensures both curative efficacy and a long-lasting protective barrier, effectively mitigating the risk of pathogen resistance.

Technical aspects of systemic control

The product is formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, creating a fine-dispersion solution upon dilution with water that penetrates the leaf cuticle with high efficiency. Its systemic action allows the fungicide to move through the plant's vascular system, providing protection even to tissues that were not directly hit during application. This is vital for winter wheat and winter barley during peak growth phases when new foliage develops rapidly.

Field application guidelines

• Spectrum of control: Comprehensive protection against key cereal diseases, including Fusarium and Septoria head blight, net blotch of barley, and various rusts.
• Application rate: 1.0–2.0 L/ha provides a robust protective shield even under high infection pressure.
• Frequency: Maximum 2 applications per season, fitting perfectly into intensive farming protocols.
• Safety: The product is classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard protective equipment during handling.

By leveraging three distinct chemical classes in one formulation, "Makfire 260 EC" stands as one of Bayer’s most reliable solutions for securing potential crop yields against complex fungal threats.
