Ditan M-45

DITAN M-45 — broad-spectrum contact fungicide by the company "Dow AgroSciences" for protection against fungal diseases of potatoes, tomatoes, grapes, apple trees, and more than 70 crops worldwide. It is available as a wettable powder containing 800 g/kg mancozeb.

DITAN M-45 provides long-lasting protective action: up to 14 days. The product is non-phytotoxic. It can be applied at all stages — from seed treatment to the ripening phase of the crop.
DITAN M-45 is compatible with other pesticides — systemic and contact fungicides and insecticides.

Mode of action:
DITAN M-45 inhibits the activity of fungal enzymes, disrupts the growth of cell walls and energy metabolism of fungal cells causing plant diseases.

Spectrum of action:
DITAN M-45 protects against diseases such as: alternaria, rhizoctonia, phytophthora, and macrosporiosis of potatoes and tomatoes; downy mildew of grapes, downy mildew of cucumbers, melons, and onions; apple scab; cercosporosis of sugar beet, and others.
Decades of practical experience, starting from 1961, confirm the absence of risk of resistance development due to multi-faceted penetration into fungal cell metabolism.
DITAN M45 is the most widely used fungicide worldwide for protecting a broad spectrum of crops from diseases caused by fungal infection.

Excellent wetting ability.
The special formulation ensures high adhesion and protection from wash-off by rain and dew, providing long-lasting protection.
The presence of zinc and manganese ions in the active ingredient provides simultaneous foliar feeding of plants with microelements, improving photosynthesis and vegetative growth.

High product quality.
Constant and strict quality control during production ensures effective protection for the consumer. Excellent solubility of the formulation allows for uniform coverage of the leaf surface and prevents sediment formation, which could clog spray nozzles.
DITAN W-45 is non-toxic to birds, bees, soil invertebrates, and microorganisms. Half-life in natural conditions — 7 days.
Crops treated with DITAN N-45 are considered safe for consumption and can be exported without restrictions to European Community countries.
