Contact-systemic fungicide for protecting vineyards and tomatoes from a broad spectrum of diseases
Active ingredients: metalaxyl, 80 g/kg and mancozeb, 640 g/kg
Manufacturer: Peters and Burg Ltd, Hungary
Formulation: wettable powder
Packaging: 1 kg, 5 kg bags
Mode of action
METALAXYL belongs to systemic agents, absorbed by the above-ground parts of the plant within 30-60 minutes after spraying. Moving acropetally, it provides preventive, and at early infection stages — curative and protective effects. It inhibits protein synthesis in pathogen cells by disrupting RNA synthesis in ribosomes. MANCOZEB belongs to contact-action agents, inhibiting enzyme activity by disrupting ATP synthesis. It penetrates the plant within 30 minutes, forming a protective layer on the plant surface and thereby providing crop protection for 10-14 days, even in rainy weather.
Characteristics and advantages
Dual mode of action (contact-systemic) ensures reliable protection of plants from external infection, as well as eradicates infection within the plant at early stages of damage.
Resistant to wash-off by rain.
Compatible with other pesticides having neutral pH, however, compatibility of each specific mixture should be tested beforehand.
Application recommendations
The product must be applied preventively when weather conditions favor disease development and spread, before the first signs of disease appear. On vineyards, the first application of RINCOZEB® is carried out during the active growth phase — starting from the 4-leaf stage. Subsequent applications are carried out at intervals of 10-12 days, but no later than 10-14 days after flowering. On tomatoes, RINCOZEB® is applied preventively before the first signs of disease appear. Interval between applications: 7-10 days.
To prepare the working solution, fill the sprayer tank with water to 1/3 of its volume, activate the mixing mode, and add the required amount of the product or its concentrate. Fill the sprayer tank to full capacity while the mixing mode is active. The working solution should be used within a few hours. When adding the product, the mixing mode must remain active to maintain the solution's homogeneity. When preparing tank mixtures, each subsequent component should be added only after the previous one is fully dissolved.
