Spirale 475 EC

Why Spirale 475 EC has become a standard for beet protection

When dealing with sugar or fodder beets, there is no room for error due to the short growing season. In my experience, using Syngenta’s «Spirale 475 EC» is not just about yield, but about preserving the foliage until harvest. The composition combines two powerful mechanisms: systemic difenoconazole and fenpropidin. This provides the exact «stop-effect» needed when Cercospora or powdery mildew begin to aggressively overtake the field.

Efficiency in field conditions

The main advantage of this fungicide is its readiness to perform even under fluctuating weather conditions. Due to the combination of contact and systemic actions, the product penetrates plant tissues quickly and is not washed away by the first rain.

• Dosage: With a rate of 0.5–1.0 L/ha, the product covers a significant area, which is vital for profitability.
• Disease control: Cercospora, Phoma, and Ramularia are stopped in their tracks. If you stick to the schedule (maximum of two treatments per season), the field stays clean until the very end.
• Formulation: As an emulsifiable concentrate, it mixes in the tank without issues and does not clog sprayer nozzles, which is critical during long shifts.

Application features

It is comfortable to work with, but one must not forget the hazard class (2nd). Proper protective equipment is mandatory. In terms of efficiency, «Spirale 475 EC» outperforms mono-component formulations due to the synergy of its ingredients: the triazole group provides prevention and cure, while fenpropidin enhances the fungicidal effect, breaking through even resistant strains of pathogens. It is important to maintain intervals between treatments to avoid resistance, but with a professional approach, it remains one of the most reliable tools for protecting fodder crops on the market today.
