Split

Engineering Precision in Orchard Protection

The «Split» fungicide leverages the chemical properties of Difenoconazole, a triazole-class systemic active ingredient that has become a standard in fruit crop protection. The technical advantage of this formulation lies in its dual-action mechanism: systemic movement within the plant vascular system combined with strong contact activity on the plant surface. By inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, the active substance effectively halts the growth of fungal mycelium and prevents spore formation.

Key Technical Features

The aqueous emulsion formulation is designed to ensure maximum bioavailability and stability in the tank mix. This is crucial for uniform coverage of the apple tree's waxy cuticle, preventing runoff and increasing the therapeutic window. The product's technical efficiency is defined by:

• Acropetal Translocation: The systemic component moves upwards through the plant, shielding new growth that emerges post-application.
• Localized Contact Shield: The contact component provides an immediate protective barrier that stops pathogens upon physical contact.
• Optimal Dosage Control: With a recommended rate of 0.15–0.2 L/ha, growers can tailor the application based on disease pressure and phenological stage.

Operational Guidelines for Professionals

«Split» is engineered for consistent results within a robust integrated pest management (IPM) program. Allowing for up to 4 applications per season, it provides a comprehensive defense strategy against scab and powdery mildew. From a safety and regulatory perspective, the 20-day pre-harvest interval (PHI) is critical to ensure that the active ingredient is fully metabolized by the time of harvest, resulting in clean, high-quality produce. Classified under hazard class 3, the product requires standard agricultural handling procedures to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental footprint.
