Astron 350 SE

Astron 350 SE is characterized by:

• Concentrated Formulation: It contains 350 g/l of an active ingredient belonging to the group of sterol biosynthesis inhibitors, which is critical for maintaining fungal cell membrane integrity.
• Mode of Action:
  • Systemic and Translaminar: Once applied, the product is rapidly absorbed through the foliage and evenly distributed throughout the plant, protecting both the treated areas and new growth.
  • Inhibition of Ergosterol Biosynthesis: The active ingredient interferes with the enzyme C14-demethylase, blocking ergosterol production and thus fungal growth and sporulation.
  • Preventive and Curative Action: Astron 350 SE can be applied preventively before disease onset or curatively at the first signs of infection.
• Usage:
  • Apply as a foliar spray to ensure complete crop coverage.
  • Dilution and dosage recommendations (e.g., 200–400 L/ha) are provided on the label.
  • Reapplications are typically made every 14–21 days, depending on environmental conditions and disease pressure.

Advantages:

• Rapid and extended protection through systemic and translaminar activity.
• Highly effective in controlling fungal diseases with a low risk of resistance development.
• Robust formulation maintains consistent performance under variable weather conditions.
