Strobí®

Why Strobi® is a Benchmark in Modern Horticulture

When facing persistent fungal challenges like apple scab or grapevine oidium, professional growers often rely on Strobi® from Basf S.A. As a leading representative of the strobilurin class, this fungicide revolutionized plant protection by combining systemic movement with powerful anti-sporulant activity. It doesn't just stop the disease; it prevents the disease from progressing by cutting off the life cycle of the fungi.

Key Advantages: Standing Out from the Crowd

• Translaminar Activity: The active ingredient, Kresoxim-methyl, penetrates the leaf tissue and redistributes within it. This is essential for protecting new growth that emerges after the spray application.
• Weather Resilience: Formulated as water-dispersible granules, Strobi® adheres quickly to the foliage. Once dried, it shows remarkable resistance to being washed off by moderate rainfall.
• Early Season Efficiency: Unlike many alternatives that require warmth to activate, Strobi® performs reliably even in cool conditions (down to +1—4°C), making it a go-to tool for early spring protection.

Strategic Usage and Resistance Management

Strobi® is highly effective, but it is not a "use-forever" product. Like all strobilurins, it is prone to resistance development if used exclusively. The recommendation is clear: limit usage to a maximum of 3 applications per season and alternate it with fungicides of different chemical classes. By following this practice, you preserve the product's efficacy for years to come.

Who Should Use It

Strobi® is tailored for serious growers managing intensive orchards (apples, pears) and vineyards. It is the optimal choice for those who demand clean, high-quality fruit and foliage free from powdery mildew, scab, or downy mildew. With a dosage rate of 0.5—1.0 kg/ha and a 30-day pre-harvest interval, it fits perfectly into the professional spray programs where performance and fruit quality are the ultimate goals.
