Galixid 280 SC

Synergy of Components: How It Works

The efficiency of 'Galixid 280 SC' is driven by a dual-component formula targeting different stages of pathogen metabolism. Azoxystrobin, a strobilurin derivative, halts the electron transport in the fungal mitochondria, effectively cutting off the pathogen’s energy supply. Cyproconazole, from the triazole group, inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital cell membrane component. This combination provides a broad-spectrum response, successfully managing diseases like septoria, fusarium, phoma, and alternaria, while preventing the development of pathogen resistance.

Systemic and Contact Mechanics

The formulation offers a layered defense mechanism:

• Contact action: Creates a durable protective layer on the plant surface, preventing spore germination.
• Systemic action: Absorbed by the plant tissues and translocated acropetally (upward), ensuring that even untreated foliage and new growth are protected.

Field Performance and Application

Designed for versatile use, Galixid 280 SC is suitable for a wide range of crops, including winter cereals (wheat, barley), technical crops (sunflower, rapeseed), and pulses like peas. The suspension concentrate ensures excellent stability in the spray tank, preventing nozzle clogging and ensuring uniform coverage.

With application rates ranging from 0.5 to 1.0 l/ha, the product is highly adaptable to varying disease pressures. Classified as a Hazard Class 2 substance, it requires adherence to safety guidelines. By limiting the application to 2 treatments per season, growers can ensure superior disease control without risking phytotoxicity, effectively safeguarding the crop's yield potential from seedling stage to maturity.
