Antarcol 70 WG

A robust shield for your crops

When it comes to protecting orchards and vegetable crops from fungal infections, the choice often falls on proven solutions. Antracol 70 WG by Bayer is a classic contact-action fungicide that remains a gold standard for stability. Unlike systemic pesticides, this product creates a protective barrier on the plant's surface, effectively preventing pathogen spores from germinating.

Why agronomists choose Antracol 70 WG

• Multifunctional defense. It provides excellent control against a wide spectrum of diseases, ranging from grapevine mildew to potato and tomato blight.
• The Propineb advantage. The active ingredient, belonging to the carbamate class, not only eliminates fungus but also provides a source of zinc — an essential micronutrient for vigorous plant growth.
• Wash-off resistance. The water-dispersible granules ensure superior adhesion. Once applied, the solution spreads evenly over the leaf surface, creating a dense film that is highly resistant to rainfall.
• Low risk of resistance. Because of its multi-site mode of action on fungal metabolism, pathogens are extremely unlikely to develop resistance to the treatment, making it a staple in any anti-resistance crop protection program.

Application insights

Because Antracol 70 WG works through contact, the key to success is application quality. It is vital to achieve uniform coverage of the target surface. The product is approved for up to 3 applications per season at a rate of 1.0–2.0 kg/ha, depending on the crop and disease pressure. Please note the pre-harvest interval: the last application should occur at least 50 days before harvest. This makes it an ideal tool for early growth stages when the foundation of a healthy yield is being built.

Remember that this is a preventive tool rather than a curative one; it does not "cure" already infected plant parts but prevents new infections from spreading. Therefore, the best strategy is to apply Antracol 70 WG before the first symptoms appear to ensure your plants remain healthy throughout the critical stages of development.
