Conclud 250 SC

A robust defense for vegetables and vineyards

When working with high-value crops like onions or grapes, the cost of a mistake can be severe. This season, we relied on “Conclud 250 SC” by Syngenta to address major fungal threats. For a practical agronomist, the key advantage is the dual-action mechanism: the combination of mandipropamid and azoxystrobin provides both contact protection for the leaf surface and systemic action that targets infections from within.

Field Experience and Application

Under field conditions, the product has been highly reliable, which is the ultimate test of quality. We have used it across a wide range of crops, including potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and vineyards. Dosage varies between 0.5 and 1.0 liters per hectare, depending on the intensity of late blight or downy mildew pressure. Typically, two to three applications per season are enough to completely halt the progression of diseases like mildew. The suspension concentrate mixes perfectly in the tank without sediment, ensuring no nozzle clogging—a huge advantage for smooth operations.

Why it delivers results

• Comprehensive Control: The blend of mandipropamid and strobilurins effectively manages both initial infection sites and secondary spore dispersal.
• Versatility: The range of crops is impressive—from hops to cabbage. This helps simplify inventory management for all our crop protection needs.
• Weather Resilience: The systemic component penetrates tissue rapidly, meaning that even a light rain or irrigation after the solution has dried won’t wash away the investment in treatment.

Being a class 3 hazard substance, we follow standard safety protocols during application. It is crucial to monitor growth stages, as the product is most effective when used preventively before symptoms spread. The result is clean foliage, a healthy harvest, and significantly less stress compared to trying to “cure” advanced infestations.
