Shirlan 500 SC

Professional crop protection with Syngenta

When it comes to high-yield potato, tomato, and onion production, protecting your crop from sudden outbreaks of downy mildew or late blight is non-negotiable. Shirlan 500 SC, produced by Syngenta, serves as a high-performance contact fungicide designed to stop fungal pathogens directly on the leaf surface, effectively preventing secondary infections.

Field Application and Strategy

• Potato Production: The primary advantage of Shirlan 500 SC is its ability to inhibit spore germination. By applying this product, farmers can effectively shield potato tubers from late blight (Phytophthora), which is critical for long-term storage quality.
• Vegetable Crop Management: For growers dealing with onion downy mildew or tomato alternaria, this product provides a robust barrier. Because it is a contact fungicide, it is highly recommended as a rotation partner in integrated pest management programs to prevent the development of resistant fungal strains.

Technical Specifications for Planning

• Application Rate: Up to 0.5 L/ha. This dosage provides optimal coverage while remaining cost-effective for large-scale operations.
• Treatment Frequency: Allows for up to 4 applications per season, providing flexibility to address specific disease pressure phases.
• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): With a short interval of just 7 days, this fungicide is an ideal tool for growers managing tight harvest schedules.

The suspension concentrate formulation ensures that the product mixes smoothly, providing uniform application and excellent leaf adhesion. Shirlan 500 SC represents the precision and reliability expected from Swiss agricultural technology, helping farmers minimize losses throughout the growing cycle.
