Fandango 200 EC

Double action: The synergy of systemic and contact protection

«Fandango 200 EC» is a high-performance fungicide leveraging the synergy of two active ingredients: prothioconazole and fluoxastrobin. This combination provides both curative and preventative activity, which is essential for maintaining the health of vegetable crops, specifically onions.

Prothioconazole, a triazolinthione, works by inhibiting ergosterol biosynthesis, effectively stopping the development of mycelium. Fluoxastrobin, a strobilurin, acts as a potent mitochondrial respiration inhibitor. Together, they form an impenetrable shield for the plant against major pathogens like Alternaria, Botrytis (gray mold), Peronospora (downy mildew), and Fusarium rot.

Technical efficiency in the field

• Systemic action: Prothioconazole is absorbed by plant tissues and translocated, ensuring protection of the entire plant, including new growth—a vital feature for preventing systemic rot diseases.
• Contact and translaminar effect: Fluoxastrobin remains on the leaf surface, creating a protective layer that prevents spore germination, even in high-humidity conditions where downy mildew thrives.

The emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation is optimized for adherence to the waxy surfaces typical of onions, reducing wash-off and increasing product retention. At an application rate of 0.7–1.0 L/ha, the product delivers stable results over the allowed two applications per season. The manufacturing alliance—Bayer AG, Ekowold Technologies Ltd, Imperial Chemical Logistics GmbH, Bayer SAS, and Schirm GmbH—ensures rigorous quality control throughout the production cycle. Growers should adhere to a 20-day pre-harvest interval to ensure safety and compliance with agricultural standards.
