Ridomil Gold MZ 68 WG

Reliable crop protection: why Ridomil Gold remains the industry standard

When it comes to controlling late blight or downy mildew, most farmers prefer consistency over experimentation. This combined fungicide works on two fronts: systemic metalaxyl-M penetrates plant tissues to protect new growth, while contact mancozeb creates a persistent protective barrier on the leaf surface.

Field Application Insights

Working with water-dispersible granules is convenient: they dissolve perfectly without clogging spray nozzles, which is essential for large-scale operations. With an application rate of up to 0.5 L/ha, it allows for cost-effective management, provided you stick to the strict limit of 3–4 applications per season.

• Systemic and Contact Power: Metalaxyl-M provides rapid curative and preventive action, while mancozeb handles external infection pressure.
• Broad-Spectrum Utility: Highly versatile, it is suitable for crops ranging from winter rapeseed to tobacco and hops.
• Safety Intervals: Planning is key, as the pre-harvest interval (PHI) ranges from 10 to 30 days depending on the specific crop.

Safety and Best Practices

Given its toxicity class 2 rating, always use full personal protective equipment. The product is highly effective but requires strict adherence to protocols: observe designated intervals between applications to prevent residues and avoid resistance build-up. For the best outcome, apply Ridomil Gold as a preventative measure before the disease takes hold. It is a quintessential case where high-quality Swiss chemistry pays for itself by preventing major harvest losses.
