Bunjoo Forte KS

Synergy of active components against oomycetes

The uniqueness of the Banjo Forte SC fungicide by ADAMA lies in the combination of two active ingredients: fluazinam and dimethomorph. This dual-action approach targets all critical phases of the life cycle of pathogens causing late blight, downy mildew, and early blight (alternaria). Fluazinam acts as a contact barrier, creating a protective film on the leaf surface that blocks spore germination. Meanwhile, dimethomorph provides systemic control, penetrating the plant tissues to suppress mycelial growth from within.

Technical advantages of the formula

• Multi-target mechanism: The preparation disrupts fungal respiration, phospholipid synthesis, and cell wall formation. This significantly minimizes the risk of pathogen resistance development.
• Alternaria management: Beyond typical oomycetes, the formula is highly effective in managing early blight, making it an indispensable tool for potato and tomato producers during peak growth periods.
• Anti-sporulant effect: Dimethomorph halts spore production, which is essential for containing the spread of epiphytotic infections at early stages.

Application guidelines

The suspension concentrate formulation ensures easy mixing and stable performance in tank mixes. The optimal application rate is 0.8–1 L/ha. The product exhibits high rainfastness, which is crucial for regions with unpredictable climates. Up to 3 treatments per season are allowed, providing a flexible protection strategy for a wide range of crops: from vegetables (onions, tomatoes, potatoes) to field crops (soybeans, sunflowers).

As a Class 2 hazard product, Banjo Forte SC requires adherence to standard safety protocols but delivers reliable results even under high disease pressure, ensuring the protection of your harvest throughout the growing season.
