Sakura

Synergy of Active Components

The efficacy of the "Sakura" fungicide from the Hungarian manufacturer BVN Pesticides Ltd is based on the combined action of two key molecules. The formulation includes tebuconazole and captan, ensuring comprehensive protection of fruit and berry crops at both systemic and contact levels.

Technical Breakdown

• Tebuconazole (triazoles): A systemic component that rapidly penetrates plant tissues. It inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol in pathogen cells, effectively blocking mycelial growth. This is critical for protecting apple trees against scab and grapes against oidium and powdery mildew from within.
• Captan (phthalimides): A contact protective agent that forms a defensive shield on the leaf and fruit surfaces. Its molecular structure inhibits the cellular respiration of fungal organisms, preventing the germination of gray mold and downy mildew spores.

Why the Combination Matters

Using the product in an emulsifiable concentrate form ensures uniform coverage of the leaf surface. The dual mechanism of action—systemic penetration combined with a surface barrier—minimizes the risk of pathogens developing resistance, making "Sakura" an ideal tool for anti-resistance management programs in orchards and vineyards. With a hazard class of 2, strict adherence to application protocols is required, but the high concentration of active ingredients guarantees cost-effective results when dosage recommendations are followed.
