Orvego®

Why Orvego® has become the gold standard in oomycete control

In the fungicide market for Solanaceae crops and grapes, Orvego® by Basf S.A. stands out due to its unique combination of active ingredients. The synergy between ametoctradin and dimethomorph creates a «double-strike» effect, which is critical when managing late blight and downy mildew.

The secret behind its efficacy

The key feature of this product is ametoctradin. Belonging to the pyrimidyl-amine class, it attacks the pathogen's cellular energy system (Complex III), suppressing mitochondrial respiration. When combined with dimethomorph, which inhibits the formation of oomycete cell walls, the product displays remarkable resistance to wash-off from rainfall.

• Translaminar protection: permeates leaf tissue to provide a robust barrier even on untreated surfaces.
• Contact action: forms a persistent film that effectively «seals» the plant surface.
• Efficient dosage: an application rate of 1.0–2.0 L/ha optimizes logistics and per-hectare costs.

Who is this fungicide for?

Orvego® is essential for operations where protecting yields under high disease pressure is critical. It delivers outstanding results on potatoes and tomatoes, where late blight can destroy a crop in days. Viticulturists rely on it to control downy mildew even during periods of rapid berry growth. It is the choice for professionals seeking the perfect balance between systemic penetration and a protective contact «shield».

Important Note: Follow the label instructions—no more than 3 applications per season. Hazard class 3 requires standard safety precautions when handling agrochemicals.
