Systemic Pathogen Control: How Pilarquim Works

The core of Pilarquim’s efficacy is carbendazim, a benzimidazole systemic fungicide. Unlike contact-only agents, carbendazim is rapidly absorbed into plant tissues, translocating acropetally through the vascular system. This is critical for protecting new growth and areas that may be missed during initial application.

Biochemical Barrier

The active ingredient inhibits fungal mitosis by binding to beta-tubulin, preventing the formation of spindle microtubules. Consequently, mycelial growth stops almost immediately upon exposure. This makes Pilarquim a potent tool against a wide range of diseases:

• Cereals: Control of Septoria and Helminthosporium in wheat and barley.
• Viticulture: Management of Oidium and Botrytis (gray mold).
• Versatility: Suppression of powdery mildew across multiple crops.

Technical Application Standards

Pilarquim is formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC). This ensures optimal stability in the spray tank and superior rainfastness once applied. Given its systemic nature, the product remains effective even during moderate infestation levels.

• Application Rate: 0.5–1.5 L/ha, depending on infection pressure and crop development stage.
• Treatment Frequency: 1–2 applications per season.
• Safety: Classified as Hazard Class 3, requiring standard personal protective equipment during handling.
• Pre-harvest Interval: A minimum of 30 days between the last application and harvest is mandatory to ensure residue safety.
