Description

Active Ingredients (indicative):
• Total active content: approximately 300 g/l – a synergistic blend of active ingredients (please refer to the label for exact details).

Mode of Action:

  • Systemic and Contact Action: Once applied, Retengo is rapidly absorbed and translocated throughout the plant, protecting both the treated areas and new growth.
  • Inhibition of Fungal Processes: The product interferes with critical metabolic processes in fungal pathogens, inhibiting mycelial growth and sporulation, thus preventing disease establishment.
  • Preventive and Curative Control: It can be used preventively to avert infection or curatively at the first signs of disease, ensuring continuous protection of the crop.

Usage Instructions (example):

  1. Preparation:
    • Dilute Retengo in water as per label instructions (e.g., 200–400 L/ha) to achieve a uniform spray solution.
  2. Application:
    • Apply as a foliar spray to ensure complete coverage of the crop.
    • It is recommended to apply the product at early disease stages, with reapplications every 14–21 days depending on environmental conditions and disease pressure.
  3. Precautions:
    • Follow label recommendations for dosage, safety intervals, and pre-harvest restrictions.
    • Conduct compatibility tests when tank-mixing with other products.

Advantages:

  • Provides effective and long-lasting control of fungal diseases due to its systemic and contact action.
  • The synergistic blend of active ingredients minimizes the risk of resistance development.
  • Helps maintain crop health and optimize yields.
