Spirox 500 EC

Spirox 500 EC is a fungicide formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) designed to control fungal diseases—especially powdery mildew and related infections—in crops such as vineyards and other sensitive plants. It contains spiroxamine as the active ingredient, offering rapid, systemic, and translaminar protection. Details

Description

Active Ingredient (indicative):
• Spiroxamine – 500 g/l

Mode of Action:

  • Systemic and Translaminar Action: Once applied, Spirox 500 EC is quickly absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout its tissues, protecting both the treated areas and new growth.
  • Inhibition of Ergosterol Biosynthesis: Spiroxamine disrupts key enzymatic processes required for ergosterol synthesis in fungal cells, compromising cell membrane integrity and preventing fungal growth and sporulation.
  • Rapid and Long-lasting Effect: Its innovative formulation ensures effective disease control even under adverse environmental conditions.

Usage Instructions (example):

  1. Preparation:
    • Dilute Spirox 500 EC in water according to the label instructions (e.g., 200–400 L/ha) to obtain a uniform spray solution.
  2. Application:
    • Apply as a foliar spray to ensure thorough coverage of the crop.
    • It is recommended for preventive use at the first signs of disease, with reapplications every 7–14 days depending on environmental conditions and disease pressure.
  3. Precautions:
    • Follow the label’s dosage and safety guidelines, including pre-harvest intervals.
    • Perform compatibility tests when mixing with other crop protection products.

Advantages:

  • Provides high efficacy against a wide range of fungal diseases.
  • Rapid action with systemic and translaminar properties ensures complete crop protection.
  • Maintains performance under challenging weather conditions.
