Acydan ZP

Professional protection against late blight and mildew

When dealing with fungal outbreaks, reliance on systemic protection is essential. Acidan WP represents a powerful combination of mancozeb and metalaxyl, targeting a wide range of diseases including late blight, alternaria, and downy mildew. As a user, you get a dual-action effect: the contact component forms a protective layer on the leaf, while the systemic component moves inside the plant tissue to stop the spread of infection from within.

Operating notes and field performance

In practice, the application rate is 2.5 kg/ha. Since it is a wettable powder, proper tank mixing is the key to successful application. It is best to prepare a stock solution first to ensure no clogging occurs in the spray nozzles. Based on operational experience, the product shows excellent sticking properties, which is crucial for grapes and dense vegetable foliage, as it resists wash-off from light rains.

• Target Diseases: Highly effective against Alternaria, Downy mildew, and Late blight.
• Strategy: With a maximum of 3 treatments per season, it fits perfectly into an integrated pest management program.
• Harvest Intervals: Depending on the crop, the pre-harvest interval ranges from 14 to 30 days. Always plan your harvest schedule accordingly.

Operational tips

Acidan WP is classified as a Category 3 hazard product, so standard protective gear is non-negotiable. When filling the tank, work in calm weather to avoid dust inhalation. Because of its systemic nature, the fungicide is forgiving if there is slight unevenness in coverage, but thorough spraying of the lower leaf surfaces is still recommended for maximum results in vineyards and tall tomato plants. Always rinse the equipment thoroughly after use to maintain the integrity of your spraying systems.
