Thiophanate Extra

Systemic Protection for Diverse Crops

When managing varied crop types, ranging from cereals and vegetables to vineyards and fruit orchards, having a versatile fungicide is essential. "Tiophen Extra" by "Sunrise Agrochemical Co., Ltd." serves as a reliable solution for controlling fungal threats in a single, efficient pass. As a systemic fungicide, it simplifies the daily routine for field operators who cannot afford complex, multi-product tank mixes during the peak of the growing season.

Field Performance and Handling

The product comes as a wettable powder, which dissolves consistently in water without creating the residue that often clogs sprayer nozzles. This ease of preparation is a significant advantage when operating in the field. The combination of thiophanate-methyl and penconazole allows for rapid uptake into plant tissues, offering curative and protective properties against diseases like gray mold, powdery mildew, and cercospora.

• Application Rates: With a rate of 1.0 to 2.0 L/ha, it provides a stable protective barrier that holds up well against environmental pressures.
• Season Management: The limit of 3 applications per season is well-aligned with the needs of intensive fruit and vegetable production, allowing for targeted timing during high-risk stages.
• Safety and Logistics: Classified as a Class 3 hazard, it requires standard protective measures, making it manageable for trained staff.

Practical Considerations for Operators

From an operator's perspective, the key to "Tiophen Extra" is its predictability. The 30-day pre-harvest interval needs to be factored into the management calendar, but it is manageable for most technical and orchard crops. Because it is a systemic agent, it moves through the plant, ensuring that even if coverage isn't 100% perfect, the active ingredients redistribute themselves to defend vulnerable tissue. It is a workhorse that consistently performs when pressure from powdery mildew or rot begins to escalate, providing the long-term systemic reliability required for professional agriculture.
