Flint 50WG

Mesosystemic protection for your orchard

When managing orchards or vineyards, proactive protection is the cornerstone of success. Flint 50WG has become my go-to choice for managing apple scab, pear scab, and powdery mildew. Its active ingredient, trifloxystrobin, offers a unique advantage: it works as a mesosystemic fungicide, creating a protective barrier on the leaf surface and partially penetrating into the tissue. This makes it particularly effective even when weather conditions are unpredictable.

Field operation and maintenance

From an operator's perspective, this product is highly practical. It comes as water-dispersible granules, which dissolve exceptionally well. I’ve never had issues with nozzle clogging, which is a major time-saver during peak season. With a dosage range of 0.15–0.3 kg/ha, I can adjust the treatment intensity based on the specific crop density and the disease pressure level.

• Durability: The fungicide shows excellent adhesion. Even after light rain, it holds up on the foliage, maintaining control over fungal sporulation.
• Regulatory compliance: With a maximum of 3 applications per season, it fits perfectly into an integrated pest management program.
• Safety: It falls into the 3rd hazard class, making it manageable for the crew with standard personal protective equipment.

Despite the complex production network involving facilities in Germany, France, the UK, the US, and beyond, the product's consistency remains top-tier. It is a reliable, professional tool. Just remember the 20–30 day pre-harvest interval to ensure safety, and you will see the results in both leaf health and yield quality.
