Malvin® 80

Protecting orchards with Malvin® 80: The French standard

In the field of crop protection, Malvin® 80 by the French company «Arista LifeScience S.A.S.» is a robust contact fungicide widely recognized for its consistent preventive action. Utilizing captan, a phthalimide derivative, this product acts as a protective barrier, inhibiting the enzymatic processes of pathogens and preventing fungal spores from colonizing plant tissues.

Why choose Malvin® 80?

• Broad-spectrum efficiency: It is highly effective against a variety of threats, including scab on apple trees, moniliosis and peach leaf curl on stone fruits, as well as mildew on grapevines.
• Superior formulation: Presented as water-dispersible granules, it provides excellent solubility and uniform coverage. This prevents the clogging issues common with less advanced formulations.
• Resistance management: As a multi-site contact fungicide, Malvin® 80 is an essential component in any professional integrated pest management (IPM) program, helping to prevent the development of resistance to systemic fungicides.

Best practices for implementation

Malvin® 80 is optimized for professional growers who require reliable control over disease pressure throughout the growing season. With a maximum of 3–4 treatments allowed per season and a pre-harvest interval of 20–30 days, it is a predictable and controllable tool. The primary characteristic to note is its contact-only mode of action: it only protects the surface area it covers. Consequently, it requires thorough, high-quality application technology to reach all parts of the foliage. For orchards and vineyards where canopy density is high, ensuring complete spray coverage is key to maximizing the protective potential of Malvin® 80.
