Thiophen Extra

Advanced Disease Management for Vineyards

Maintaining vineyard health requires a strategic approach, especially when dealing with the triad of grey mold, downy mildew, and powdery mildew. «Tiophen Extra» (or «Тиофен екстра»), manufactured by Sunrise Chemicals Co. Ltd. (Shanghai, China), provides a robust solution by combining the systemic and contact properties of benzimidazoles and triazoles.

Key Advantages of the Formula

• Dual-Action Synergy: By merging Thiophanate-methyl and Penconazole, this fungicide tackles fungal threats on two fronts. Thiophanate-methyl inhibits fungal cell division, while Penconazole disrupts ergosterol biosynthesis.
• Formulation Quality: The water-dispersible granules offer a dust-free mixing experience and ensure high solubility, leading to uniform application across the canopy.
• Systemic Protection: The product effectively penetrates plant tissues, providing long-lasting protection not just for current foliage, but for new growth that emerges post-application.

Why Growers Choose «Tiophen Extra»

This product is an optimal choice for commercial viticulturists who need a reliable, cost-effective tool to minimize spraying cycles. Its classification as a Class 3 hazard requires standard safety precautions, but it delivers aggressive performance against established infections. For growers dealing with high humidity environments where downy mildew outbreaks are frequent, the systemic reach of this product acts as a vital safety net.

Implementation Insights

«Tiophen Extra» shines when used preventatively or at the earliest onset of symptoms. While it possesses curative properties, its primary strength lies in its ability to protect the vine during critical growth stages—specifically prior to flowering and during active shoot development. To maximize the product's lifespan in your pest management program, rotate it with fungicides of different chemical classes to maintain efficacy against potential resistance.
