BELLS, WG

Professional protection for intensive apple and pear orchards

Maintaining fruit quality from the canopy to the storage facility is the primary challenge for commercial fruit growers. «Bellis, WG» by BASF SE is a high-performance fungicide designed for those who cannot afford to compromise on harvest quality. It provides a robust defense against a spectrum of diseases, including scab, powdery mildew, and latent rots.

Practical application and benefits

• Pre-harvest protection: One of the standout features of this product is its short pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 10 days. This allows growers to apply treatment late in the season to prevent storage rots, ensuring fruit remains sound in long-term cold storage.
• Dual action mechanism: By combining systemic and contact properties, the product provides both curative and preventative protection. It effectively tackles Alternaria and Monilinia (brown rot), which are notorious for destroying fruit quality.
• Easy handling: The water-dispersible granules are engineered for easy mixing and application, ensuring even coverage across the orchard and compatibility with standard spray equipment.

The synergy between boscalid and pyraclostrobin makes this fungicide an essential tool in an integrated pest management program. Beyond disease control, it supports plant vitality by enhancing physiological processes, which helps fruit develop better size, uniform color, and improved shelf life. With up to 3 applications allowed per season at a rate of 0.8 kg/ha, it is a flexible and reliable partner for modern orchard management.
