Zamir

Synergistic Formulation: The Science Behind Zamir

The Zamir fungicide, developed by ADAMA, relies on a precision-engineered blend of prochloraz (267 g/L) and tebuconazole (133 g/L). Prochloraz, an imidazole derivative, provides robust contact activity. Its ability to penetrate plant tissue ensures localized control, effectively halting the development of fungal spores and providing an immediate 'stop-effect' against pathogens like Cercospora or Phoma.

Systemic Mobility and Long-term Control

Complementing the contact action, tebuconazole belongs to the triazole class. It is characterized by rapid systemic uptake and acropetal translocation within the plant vascular system. This mobility is critical for protecting new growth that emerges post-application and ensures the active ingredient reaches difficult targets, such as the wheat head, providing essential protection against Fusarium head blight.

Operational Efficiency in the Field

• Versatile Spectrum: Designed for use on a variety of crops, including winter wheat, winter barley, oilseed rape, sunflower, and fodder beet.
• Disease Management: Proven efficacy against a broad range of diseases, including Septoria, net blotch, phomopsis, and alternaria.
• Formulation Quality: The emulsifiable concentrate ensures excellent stability in the tank and optimal adhesion to plant surfaces, minimizing runoff.

The recommended application rate ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 L/ha, allowing growers to calibrate the dosage according to infection pressure. Zamir is classified as a Hazard Class 3 substance. For optimal resistance management, a maximum of two applications per season is recommended. A pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 30 days must be strictly observed to ensure compliance with quality standards for harvested crops.
