KABRIO TOP granules

Comprehensive protection for vineyards and tomatoes

In large-scale farming, efficiency is measured by how many threats you can neutralize with a single pass. Cabrio Top WG from BASF SE (Ludwigshafen, Germany) has proven to be an essential tool in my field, covering both vineyards and tomato crops against a broad range of fungal pathogens. The formula, which combines Metiram (contact) and Pyraclostrobin (systemic), creates a robust defense layer while simultaneously treating early-stage infections from within.

Operational experience

• Application convenience: The water-dispersible granule formulation is a huge benefit for daily operations. It dissolves quickly without leaving residues in the spray tank, which saves me from clogged nozzles and allows for a smooth, continuous workflow.
• Dosage and timing: I follow the recommended rate of 1.5–2 kg per hectare. With a maximum of three treatments allowed per season and a pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days, I have complete peace of mind regarding safety and yield quality.
• Performance in the field: Whether dealing with downy mildew on grapes or late blight and alternaria on tomatoes, the result is consistent. It acts as both a protective shield and a curative agent, which simplifies my spray schedule significantly.

What I value most about this German-engineered solution is the reliability. It doesn’t require complex tank mixes to cover different diseases, which simplifies the logistical side of crop protection. Maintaining a 3rd hazard class, it is standard to work with, yet delivers the consistent results that you expect from BASF. For a professional operator, it is a straightforward, dependable product that protects the plant's health throughout the most critical development stages.
