Fungicides

Product Description  BASF Xelora Fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide that provides effective control of a wide range of diseases in a variety of crops. It is a dual-action fungicide, with both contact and systemic activity. This means that it can kill fungal spores that come into contact with the plant, as well as those that have already entered the plant.  Active Ingredients  Thiophanate Methyl is a benzimidazole fungicide that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a component of the fungal cell membrane.  Pyraclostrobin is a strobilurin fungicide that works by inhibiting the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which is essential for energy production in the fungal cell.  Mode of Action  The mode of action of BASF Xelora fungicide is a combination of contact and systemic activity. The two active ingredients, Thiophanate Methyl and Pyraclostrobin, work in different ways to kill fungal spores and cells.  Thiophanate Methyl is a benzimidazole fungicide that works by inhibiting the synthesis of ergosterol, a component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts the structure of the cell membrane, making it leaky and allowing essential nutrients to leak out. The fungus eventually dies from starvation.  Pyraclostrobin is a strobilurin fungicide that works by inhibiting the mitochondrial electron transport chain, which is essential for energy production in the fungal cell. This disrupts the energy production of the fungus, leading to its death.  Benefits  Broad-spectrum control of a wide range of diseases: BASF Xelora Fungicide is effective against a wide range of diseases, including early seedling diseases, foliar diseases, and fruit diseases.  Dual-action fungicide with contact and systemic activity: Xelora has both contact and systemic activity, which means that it can kill fungal spores that come into contact with the plant, as well as those that have already entered the plant.  Provides AgCelence® benefits to the plant: Xelora also provides AgCelence® benefits to the plant, which include enhanced vigor, better root development, and improved yield potential.  Safe and effective: BASF Xelora Fungicide is a safe and effective fungicide that can be used to protect a variety of crops.  Registered for use in a variety of crops: Xelora is registered for use in a wide range of crops, including apples, grapes, tomatoes, chilies, onions, soybeans, peanuts, okra, and groundnuts.    Crop  Disease  Dosage (mL/ha)  Apples  Scab  1.0-1.5  Grapes  Black rot  1.0-1.5  Tomatoes  Early blight  1.0-1.5  Chilies  Anthracnose  1.0-1.5  Onions  Downy mildew  1.0-1.5  Soybeans  Seedling rot  2.0-2.5  Peanuts  Stem rot  2.0-2.5  Okra  Seedling disease  3  Groundnuts  Black scurf  20    It is important to note that these are just general guidelines, and the specific dosage and application rate may vary depending on the crop, the severity of the disease, and the environmental conditions. It is always best to consult the product label for specific instructions.

Product Description  BASF Merivon Fungicide is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide that is effective against a variety of diseases in a wide range of crops. It is a combination of Xemium and pyraclostrobin, two active ingredients that work together to provide long-lasting protection against diseases.  Active Ingredients  Xemium is a strobilurin fungicide that works by inhibiting the mitochondrial electron transport chain in fungi. This inhibition leads to the death of the fungus.  Pyraclostrobin is a QoI fungicide that works by inhibiting the 14-alpha-demethylase enzyme in fungi. This inhibition prevents the production of ergosterol, which is a vital component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption of the fungal cell membrane leads to the death of the fungus.  Mode of Action  BASF Merivon Fungicide is a combination of Xemium and pyraclostrobin in Merivon provides a synergistic effect, meaning that the two active ingredients work together to provide better control of diseases than either one would on its own.  Xemium is a strobilurin fungicide that works by inhibiting the mitochondrial electron transport chain in fungi. This inhibition leads to the death of the fungus.  Pyraclostrobin is a QoI fungicide that works by inhibiting the 14-alpha-demethylase enzyme in fungi. This inhibition prevents the production of ergosterol, which is a vital component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption of the fungal cell membrane leads to the death of the fungus.  Benefits  BASF Merivon Fungicide is a Broad-spectrum control: It is a broad-spectrum fungicide, which means that it can control a variety of diseases. This makes it a versatile tool for protecting crops from a wide range of pests.  Effective against a variety of diseases: Merivon is effective against a variety of diseases, including:  Powdery mildew  Leaf spot diseases  Rusts  Anthracnose  Scab  Alternaria leaf blight  Target spot  Long-lasting protection: Merivon provides long-lasting protection against diseases. This means that you can apply it once and be confident that your crops will be protected for a period of time.  Safe and easy to use: BASF Merivon Fungicide is safe and easy to use. It is a water-soluble concentrate that can be applied by ground or aerial application.  Cost-effective: Merivon is a cost-effective way to protect crops from diseases.
