Gart z.p.

Reliable copper-based protection for your crops

When dealing with late blight or scab, experimenting with unproven products is too risky, often leading to significant yield losses. In my inventory, 'Gart w.p.' serves as heavy artillery against fungal and bacterial infections. This classic fungicide, based on copper hydroxide, has proven its effectiveness on potatoes, tomatoes, and vineyards.

Practical field experience

The product comes as a wettable powder. Handling requires standard safety precautions—it is a Class 2 hazard, so a respirator and gloves are non-negotiable. When mixing, it is essential to stir thoroughly to prevent nozzle clogging in your sprayer. Based on my experience, a dosage of 1.5–3 kg/ha provides excellent coverage of the foliage, creating a solid contact protective barrier.

Why 'Gart' is effective

• Comprehensive strike: equally effective against grape downy mildew, anthracnose, and early blight.
• Bacteriosis control: copper is one of the few tools capable of effectively suppressing bacterial infections.
• Flexibility: 3–4 applications per season allow for reliable protection during the critical phases of disease development.

It is vital to keep the safety intervals in mind: the final application must be done at least 30 days before harvest. This waiting period is non-negotiable for the safety of your produce. As long as you follow the guidelines and ensure quality application, 'Gart' delivers consistent results that I have witnessed on apple trees, peaches, and potato fields alike.
