Reviona®

Innovation in the Triazole Class: The Chemistry of Efficiency

At the heart of the fungicide "Revysol®" (marketed as Reviona®) by BASF S.A lies mefentrifluconazole — an active ingredient belonging to the new chemical class of isopropanol-azoles. Unlike traditional triazoles, the molecule’s structure features a unique "flexible" configuration. This allows the compound to bind tightly to the pathogen’s target enzyme (C14-demethylase), effectively countering fungi that have already developed resistance to previous generations of fungicides.

Systemic Activity and Crop Protection

The product functions as a systemic fungicide with potent curative and preventive properties. Once applied to the leaf surface, the suspension concentrate is rapidly absorbed into the plant tissues, providing a prolonged protective window. This is critical for fast-growing crops like apples, pears, or tomatoes, where halting the development of pathogens throughout the vegetation period is essential.

Technical Specifications and Application

• Control Spectrum: Highly effective against alternaria, powdery mildew, scab, moniliosis, peach leaf curl, and downy mildew.
• Crop Versatility: Suitable for use on potatoes, bulb onions, tomatoes, as well as stone and pome fruits.
• Dosage and Frequency: The application rate ranges from 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, depending on the phytosanitary conditions and the crop. Up to 3 treatments per season are permitted, enabling the implementation of effective anti-resistance management programs.
• Safety: Classified as Toxicity Class 3, requiring standard safety protocols for handling agrochemicals.

Reviona® demonstrates exceptional stability under diverse weather conditions, maintaining efficacy across a wide temperature range. Its systemic mode of action ensures protection not only for treated areas but also for new plant growth, minimizing yield loss risks caused by fungal infections.
