Vivando

Professional Oidium Control for Vineyards

Vivando by Basf S.A. is a specialized systemic fungicide engineered to provide industry-leading protection against powdery mildew (Oidium) in grapes. In large-scale viticulture, where disease pressure can compromise an entire harvest in a matter of days, this product serves as a reliable, high-performance tool for modern pest management.

Why Ag-Managers Choose Vivando

• Unique Mode of Action: Containing Metrafenone, a benzophenone-class active ingredient, Vivando effectively inhibits the formation of infection structures. It stops the development of mycelium on both leaf surfaces and clusters, acting as both a curative and a powerful preventative measure.
• Systemic Distribution: Once applied, the active ingredient moves systemically throughout the plant, providing coverage to newly developing shoots that were not directly exposed during spraying.
• Operational Efficiency: With a low application rate of up to 0.5 L/ha, Vivando is cost-effective and provides long-lasting residual control. It is perfectly suited for rotation programs to manage fungicide resistance effectively.

Field Application Guidelines

For optimal results, Vivando should be utilized during the rapid growth phases of the vine, specifically from the flowering stage through berry cluster formation. With a limit of 3 applications per season, it is the ideal choice for primary disease prevention during the most vulnerable development stages.

As a suspension concentrate, Vivando is easy to mix and highly stable in various water conditions. Its resistance to wash-off by rain makes it reliable for diverse weather scenarios. Given its 30-day pre-harvest interval (PHI), it fits seamlessly into the spray schedules for mid- to late-season grape varieties. As a product with a Hazard Class 3 rating, standard agricultural safety protocols should be maintained to ensure both operator safety and crop health.
