Winkea WG

Reliable armor for vineyards: why Vinkea VG is the go-to choice

Viticulture is a constant struggle for yield, with downy mildew (mildew) being the primary adversary. The Vinkea VG fungicide, manufactured by F. Makhteshim Chemical Works, is a precision tool for those who prioritize a preventive protection strategy. The active ingredient, folpet (a phthalimide class compound), acts as a formidable contact barrier.

Strengths and mode of action

The core advantage of Vinkea VG lies in its multi-site contact effect. Unlike narrow-spectrum systemic fungicides to which fungi can develop resistance over time, Vinkea blocks pathogen life processes at several levels simultaneously. This makes it an indispensable component of any anti-resistance management program.

• Contact protection power: It creates a protective film on the leaf surface, physically preventing mildew spores from germinating.
• Application convenience: The formulation comes in water-dispersible granules, which dissolve easily, produce no dust, and do not clog sprayer nozzles.
• Israeli manufacturing standards: F. Makhteshim Chemical Works is renowned for strict quality control, ensuring the stability and high efficacy of the active ingredient.

Application details

To maximize results, please adhere to these technical parameters:

• Application rate: 1.5–2 kg per hectare.
• Maximum number of treatments per season: 3.
• Pre-harvest interval: 20 days, allowing for flexible vineyard management.
• Hazard class: 3.

Who is this product for? Vinkea VG is the optimal choice for large-scale commercial vineyards and private estates that prioritize the prevention of primary infections and maintaining the marketability of grape bunches. It should be deployed during periods of active growth when the risk of mildew is at its peak. Remember: because folpet is a contact fungicide, the efficacy depends entirely on the quality of coverage, so ensure thorough application across the vine foliage.
