Stirocap 80 g/l

Professional protection for apple orchards

In high-intensity apple production, managing fungal diseases like scab and fruit rot is a top priority for maintaining orchard profitability. The "Stirocap 80 WDG" fungicide, manufactured by F. Makhteshim Chemical Works, provides an essential solution for growers looking for a reliable, multi-mode of action product based on Captan.

Practical application and performance

The product stands out for its balanced contact and systemic activity. This combination ensures that the fungicide not only protects the outer surfaces of leaves and fruit but also exerts control over established pathogens. The use of water-dispersible granules (WDG) is a significant practical advantage for large-scale operations: they dissolve quickly, prevent nozzle clogging, and are easier to handle compared to powdered formulations.

• Orchard health: Specifically targets and prevents apple scab, a common threat that compromises fruit quality.
• Storage preparation: Effective against fruit rot, ensuring that apples maintain their commercial value after harvest.

Operational guidelines

For optimal results, apply between 1.8 and 2.5 kg per hectare. The program allows for up to 3 applications per season. Agronomists must adhere to the 20–30 day pre-harvest interval (PHI) to ensure crop safety standards are met. As a Class 3 hazard product, standard safety protocols are required for preparation and application. "Stirocap 80 WDG" remains a staple in integrated pest management programs, offering the consistency that professional growers demand.
