Flint Star 520 SC

Synergy in Plant Protection: The Bayer Advantage

Flint Star 520 SC by Bayer CropScience represents the pinnacle of German expertise in protecting orchards and vineyards. In a landscape where fungal diseases are increasingly adapting to standard solutions, this fungicide offers a robust, multi-faceted approach to disease control, combining systemic and contact properties to stop pathogens in their tracks.

The effectiveness of Flint Star lies in its dual-active composition: Pyrimethanil and Trifloxystrobin. This strategic combination works by interrupting both the enzymatic activity of the fungus and its respiratory processes. It is this unique mechanism that has solidified its reputation as a premier solution against apple scab, as well as vine threats like powdery mildew, downy mildew (mildew), and grey rot.

Why Professionals Choose Flint Star 520 SC

• Superior Coverage: The systemic action ensures that the plant is protected from within, covering new growth that may have developed after the initial spray.
• Surface Resilience: The contact component creates a powerful shield on fruit and foliage surfaces, remaining effective even under challenging weather conditions.
• Integrated Disease Management: By addressing multiple major diseases in one go, growers can significantly optimize their seasonal spraying schedule.

The recommended application rate is 0.5–0.7 liters per hectare, with a maximum of three applications permitted per season. To ensure food safety and regulatory compliance, a 30-day pre-harvest interval must be strictly observed. As a product falling under the 2nd hazard class, it is imperative to use appropriate personal protective equipment during the handling and application process.

For growers aiming for premium crop quality and yield stability, Flint Star remains a staple in modern protection programs. It embodies the Bayer legacy of innovation, providing a reliable barrier against fungal pressures that could otherwise compromise the health and profitability of high-value apple and grape crops.
