Merplus

Active Ingredients:
• Captan 360 g/l
• Potassium phosphonates 660 g/l

Mode of Action:

• Multi-site and partially systemic: Captan rapidly penetrates susceptible fungal spores, inhibiting their germination and the development of the germ tube.
• Anti-sporulant effect: The product forms a protective film on the plant surface that is difficult to wash off with rain, providing long-lasting protection.
• Enhancement of plant defense: Potassium phosphonates not only exhibit antifungal activity but also stimulate the plant’s defensive system, offering additional protection.

Usage Instructions (example):

1. Application:
   • Use as a preventive foliar spray or at the first signs of disease during the growing season.
   • Apply at recommended doses (e.g., 2 L/ha for apple and pear) with water volumes ranging from 300 to 1500 L/ha.
   • Treatments can be repeated every 15 days, with up to 8 applications per season, depending on disease pressure.
2. Precautions:
   • Follow label instructions for dosage and pre-harvest intervals (e.g., 28 days before harvest).
   • Always perform compatibility tests when tank-mixing with other products.

Advantages:

• Provides up to 15 days of protection against plant pathogens.
• Highly effective in controlling scab in apple and pear orchards.
• Stable formulation that resists wash-off by rain.
