Signum: The Professional Choice for Disease Management

For large-scale vegetable and orchard production, maintaining crop health is the primary driver of profitability. The fungicide "Signum," developed by BASF SE (Ludwigshafen, Germany), is widely recognized for its dual-action capability, offering both contact and systemic protection against a wide spectrum of fungal pathogens.

Strategic Application in Farming

The formulation combines two active ingredients—boscalid and pyraclostrobin—which provide a comprehensive defense mechanism. By targeting different stages of fungal growth, Signum offers superior protection where others might fail.

• Vegetable Production: Essential for crops like onions, carrots, tomatoes, and potatoes. It is specifically targeted to control alternaria blight, gray mold, and leaf spot diseases. Beyond basic protection, it enhances the physiological condition of the plant, helping it manage environmental stress.
• Fruit Orchards: For stone fruits such as apricots, cherries, and peaches, Signum is the go-to solution for managing brown rot (monilia) and gray mold. Protecting the fruit during the flowering and ripening stages is critical for shelf-life and market value.

Key Technical Details

Signum is formulated as water-dispersible granules, ensuring a dust-free and easy mixing process for the sprayer. Depending on the crop stage and disease pressure, the application rate is 1–1.5 kg/ha. With a limit of 2–3 applications per season and a pre-harvest interval ranging from 7 to 30 days, it offers farmers the flexibility needed in intensive cultivation schedules.

As a Class 3 hazard product, it requires careful adherence to safety labels. However, its ability to stop mycelial growth on contact while systemically protecting new foliage makes it a reliable asset in any crop protection program. If your goal is to secure a high-quality yield with minimal disease impact, Signum acts as a powerful safeguard for your agricultural investments.
