Tiovit Jet 80 WG

Technological Precision of Sulfur Formulation

The performance of Thiovit Jet 80 WG by Syngenta is rooted in its advanced physical chemistry. Unlike traditional sulfur powders, this product is formulated as water-dispersible granules. Syngenta’s engineering ensures an optimal particle size, which is critical for contact efficacy: smaller particles allow for greater coverage of the leaf surface and enhanced vapor-phase activity against pathogens.

Defense Mechanism and Vapor Barrier

Sulfur acts as both a fungicide and an acaricide. Once applied, the product creates a persistent "gas barrier" around the leaf. Sulfur vapors penetrate the cells of pathogens (powdery mildew, oidium) and pests (spider mites), effectively disrupting their respiratory enzymes and protein synthesis. This multi-target capability makes it an essential tool for integrated pest management in orchards and vegetable crops.

Operational Advantages

• Formulation: Water-dispersible granules ensure a dust-free mixing process and rapid solubility in the tank.
• Contact Action: The product remains on the plant surface, preventing systemic accumulation in fruits when adhering to the 14-day pre-harvest interval.
• Solution Stability: Thanks to precision micronization, the sulfur particles remain suspended, preventing settling at the bottom of the sprayer tank and ensuring consistent concentration throughout the application.

Thiovit Jet 80 WG is suitable for a wide range of crops, including apples, pears, cherries, peaches, oilseed rape, cabbage, and cucumbers. With usage rates starting from 4.0 kg/ha, it creates a robust protective screen against alternate blight, powdery mildew, and various mites. Following the maximum of 4 applications, growers can ensure effective crop protection while maintaining high product quality.
