Tillo 50 WG

Mechanism of Action: The Science of Fenhexamid

"Tildo 50 WG" is powered by fenhexamid, a specialized hydroxyanilide fungicide. Unlike broad-spectrum systemic products, this active ingredient targets the biosyntheses of sterols specifically in Botrytis cinerea. By inhibiting this process, the fungicide prevents the germination of spores and the development of the germ tube, effectively blocking the pathogen's entry into the plant tissue before infection occurs.

Technical Specifications and Application

• Contact Action: The product forms a durable, rain-fast protective layer on the surface of fruit and foliage. This is critical for grapes, strawberries, and raspberries, where high humidity during the ripening phase often triggers rapid fungal outbreaks.
• Formulation Quality: Designed as water-dispersible granules, the product offers excellent solubility, ensuring a uniform spray mixture that prevents nozzle clogging and guarantees consistent application across the canopy.
• Safety Profile: Classified as Toxicity Class 3, the product is optimized for the pre-harvest interval (1 to 21 days depending on the crop), allowing for late-season protection without compromising the safety or quality of the final harvest.

Field Performance and Strategy

Botrytis cinerea is the primary threat to the shelf life and quality of berries and stone fruits. By utilizing "Tildo 50 WG" in a targeted 1–3 application strategy, growers can achieve significant control over gray mold. Because the active ingredient remains on the surface and has minimal systemic uptake, it ensures that fruit meets market requirements for residue limits. This makes it an ideal tool for integrated pest management programs aimed at maximizing yield stability and post-harvest durability.
