Curzat R 44

Reliable crop protection for potatoes and cucumbers

When late blight or downy mildew threatens your fields, time is of the essence. Kurzat R 44 from the Swiss manufacturer "DuPont International Operations Sarl" provides a robust defense system. The product is valued for its unique combination of cymoxanil for systemic action and copper oxychloride for contact protection. This dual approach ensures that the fungicide not only shields the foliage but also penetrates plant tissues to halt infection at its early stages.

Field performance and application

In practice, the product is known for its reliability and predictable results. As a wettable powder, it requires careful mixing to create a uniform tank solution, ensuring no residue settles in the sprayer tank. With an application rate of 2.5–3 kg/ha, it is highly efficient for both potato and cucumber plantations. Operators must adhere to the limit of three applications per season. Given its toxicity classification (Class 3), the use of proper personal protective equipment is mandatory during handling and spraying.

Why growers rely on this fungicide

• Dual-action defense: The systemic component treats the plant from within, while contact copper creates a protective barrier against fungal spores.
• Broad-spectrum efficacy: Specifically formulated to combat alternaria, downy mildew, and late blight.
• Harvest management: With a 20-day pre-harvest interval, it provides flexibility for planning agricultural operations while ensuring minimal residues in the final crop.

Using Kurzat R 44 gives you the confidence of proven Swiss formulation. It remains a staple for farmers looking for consistent, long-lasting disease control throughout the growing season.
