Professional crop protection: field insights

In the field, when leaf spots or stem infections threaten to cut your margins, you need a solution that works fast. The «Kapo» fungicide by «Lissanta» is our go-to choice for systemic control in sunflower and winter wheat. It provides the heavy-duty protection needed to stop diseases like phomopsis or septoria before they spread to the upper canopy.

Technical performance in the field

The combination of azoxystrobin and cyproconazole is a classic synergy. Strobilurins provide that desired «green effect,» keeping the plant active longer, while triazoles penetrate deep into the plant tissues to eradicate existing mycelium. For us, this means seeing a real difference in plant health shortly after application.

Operational tips

• Application rate: We typically use between 0.5 and 1.0 L/ha. If you catch the onset of the disease early, 0.5 L/ha is sufficient. If the pressure is already high, we bump it to 1.0 L/ha to get a clean sweep.
• Ease of use: As a suspension concentrate, it mixes flawlessly with water. We’ve never had issues with nozzle clogging or sediment buildup, which keeps our sprayers running smoothly during the busy season.
• Versatility: We apply this on both wheat and sunflowers, covering everything from powdery mildew issues to phomopsis. Two applications per season are the limit, which covers the critical growth stages perfectly.

Practical advice

Since this is a Category 2 hazard product, safety protocols must be strictly followed. The systemic nature of the fungicide means it absorbs quickly, providing a resilient barrier against both washing off and further fungal development. For any farm manager dealing with varied crop rotations, having a reliable tool like «Kapo» in the shed makes managing these common pathogens a routine task rather than a crisis.
