Polyram DF

Protecting Yields: Why Polyram DF Remains an Industry Standard

In modern intensive farming, where pathogens rapidly adapt to single-site chemicals, multi-site contact fungicides are the cornerstone of a sustainable protection strategy. Polyram DF by BASF Agro B.V. is a benchmark in the carbamate segment. Its active ingredient, metiram, disrupts vital cellular processes in fungi simultaneously, making it practically impossible for pathogens to develop resistance.

Global Quality Standards

The manufacturing of Polyram DF is strategically distributed across key BASF facilities in France, Italy, the USA, and Germany. This production standard ensures consistent high quality for its water-dispersible granules, which dissolve easily in tank mixes without clogging spray nozzles. The DF formulation minimizes dust and allows for precise application at rates of 2.0–3.0 kg/ha.

Versatility and Field Efficacy

Growers rely on this fungicide as a primary defensive layer against a wide range of diseases. Polyram DF is highly effective against:

• Alternaria and Late Blight in potatoes and tomatoes.
• Downy mildew in vineyards.
• Scab in apple orchards.
• Peronosporosis in onions.

The label allows for 3–4 applications per season. With a pre-harvest interval of 20 days, it is an essential tool in anti-resistance programs, providing consistent performance even under high disease pressure conditions.
