Orvego

Why Orvego is the pro’s choice for crop protection

When battling late blight or downy mildew, time is your greatest asset. Orvego, by BASF Agro BV, acts as a high-performance insurance policy for potatoes, tomatoes, and vineyards. Its dual-action formula is the core of its success: ametoctradin shuts down the pathogen's respiration, while dimethomorph halts mycelium development from within. In the field, this means that even during humid conditions where infections spread rapidly, the product stays put on the leaf surface, effectively resisting wash-off from rain.

Field Application and Handling

To ensure optimal coverage, we use a dosage of 0.8–1 L/ha. As a suspension concentrate, it mixes seamlessly with water, preventing any clogging of sprayer nozzles during operation. For the best defense, we cap the frequency at 2–3 applications per season. Safety and compliance are key: always observe the pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days for vegetables and grapes to ensure a clean, marketable yield.

• Systemic and Contact Action: The dual-mode approach keeps fungal resistance at bay.
• Rainfastness: Manufactured with high standards in Italy and France, the formulation ensures strong adhesion to foliage.
• Safety Standards: Classified as hazard class 3, requiring standard protective equipment during mixing and application.

Our practical experience proves that Orvego truly shines during the critical growth stages when crops are most vulnerable to oomycetes. It is a robust, dependable tool that performs best when integrated into a well-planned rotational spray program, keeping your fields healthy season after season.
