Zorvec Vinabel

• Active Ingredients:
  • Zoxamide – 300 g/l (a benzamide fungicide)
  • Oxathiapiprolin – 40 g/l (a fungicide from the piperidinyl thiazole class that acts as an oxysterol binding protein inhibitor)

• Mode of Action:
  • Systemic and Translaminar: After application, Zorvec Vinabel is rapidly absorbed through the foliage and evenly translocated throughout the plant, protecting both treated areas and new growth.
  • Dual Action:
    – Zoxamide disrupts fungal cell division by affecting microtubule formation, thereby inhibiting mycelial growth.
    – Oxathiapiprolin targets a novel biochemical site, preventing spore germination and fungal development for an eradicative effect.
  • Low Resistance Risk: The synergistic combination exhibits no cross-resistance with existing fungicides, making it suitable for rotation in resistance management programs.

• Usage Instructions (example for grapevines):

  1. Preparation: Dilute the product in water as per the label instructions (e.g., 300–1000 L/ha) to obtain a uniform spray solution.
  2. Application: Apply as a foliar spray to ensure complete coverage; use preventively at early disease stages (e.g., growth stage BBCH 15-79).
  3. Reapplication: Perform up to 2 applications per season, at 10–14-day intervals, with a pre-harvest interval of 28 days.

Advantages:

• Provides effective and long-lasting control of downy mildew on grapevines.
• Systemic and translaminar action protects emerging foliage.
• Low risk of resistance development due to its innovative dual-active formulation.
