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. We treat Ridomil Gold MZ 68 WG from Syngenta as a reliable asset that delivers predictable results for potatoes, tomatoes, and cucumbers. 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, we 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.
