Every season, rice and horticultural farmers face a formidable challenge in protecting their plants from diseases like powdery mildew, anthracnose, blasts, and leaf spots. Bayer’s Acerbo is a leading fungicide that offers farmers complete crop protection and peace of mind.
Acerbo is a broad-spectrum fungicide that contains two active compounds: fluopyram and trifloxystrobin. The combination provides exceptional control over a wide range of diseases in chillies, onions, and rice across diverse climatic conditions.
Acerbo is a systemic and broad-spectrum fungicide recommended for use as a foliar spray.
It is a mixture of two powerful fungicides, that helps protect crops from various diseases affecting them, like leaf and neck blast in rice; powdery mildew and anthracnose in chilli; and purple blotch in onions.
Acerbo contains two active compounds, namely fluopyram and trifloxystrobin. Both compounds have broad-spectrum fungicidal activity. Fluopyram acts by blocking electron transport in the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It inhibits key processes like spore germination and mycelium growth.
Trifloxystrobin acts mesostemically with unique chemo-dynamic properties that inhibit the quinone outside (Qol) cytochrome binding site. It is well-absorbed by a plant’s waxy layers, providing excellent preventive activity on surfaces. Trifloxystrobin also penetrates plant tissues, demonstrating translaminar activity.
Some of the benefits include
Best-in-class protection against a wide spectrum of diseases, including powdery mildews, anthracnose, purple blotch, leaf and neck blasts, and leaf spot.
The powerful combination of two modes of action gives excellent effectiveness, long-lasting effects, and healthier plants.
By protecting flowers and fruits, Acerbo leads to improved quality and quantity, resulting in a better return on investment.
