SERCADIS

A powerful weapon in protecting vines from powdery mildew and black rot and protecting apples from powdery mildew and scab

Active ingredient: fluxapyroxad 300 g/l

Formulation: concentrated suspension SC

Mode of action:

Sercadis® is a Group 7 SDHI (Succinate Dehydrogenase inhibitors) novel carboxamide fungicide. It is locally systemic and translaminar to provide protection for new growth. Sercadis blocks the fungal respiratory chain with outstanding activity.

Application:

Grape – against powdery mildew (Uncinula necator), in a dose of 0,1 – 0,24 l/ha, from the phenological phase when the first leaf is opened, to the beginning of the ripening of the berries (phases 11-83 of the BBCH scale), in an interval of at least 10 days. The maximum number of applications are 3.

Potato – against rhizoctonia canker (Rhizoctonia spp.), white mold (Sclerotinia sclerotiorum), silver scurf (Helminthosporium solani), for seed treatment in a dose of 0,2 – 0,25 l/t.

Registered in EU:

Apple, pear – against scab (Venturia spp), and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha), in a dose of 0,25-0,3 l/ha, From the moment when the first leaves are visible and further during the growing season (BBCH 10-78). The maximum number of applications are 3.

Application advantages:

After Sercadis® has dried on the leaf surface, a part of it applied firmly binds into the wax layer, thanks to its lipophilic properties and numerous molecules begin to congregate. This results in the formation of crystal splinters with bizarre shapes, which adhere firmly to the rough wax layer.

Dew or rain mobilizes a small portion of the active ingredient from the crystalline depots. This constant supply of highly mobile Xemium® molecules ensures complete, continuous protection of the plants for an exceptionally long time.For effective disease control, a dense fungicide surface cover is the most efficient way to prevent infections. Re-distribution is activated by the presence of water and dew, which is often also the driver for fungal disease development. Water and dew do not only support spreading on the

surface but also further uptake into wax and leaf tissue. The Xemium® active ingredient is highly mobile once inside the plants and is quickly distributed to other parts. Repeated applications depending on new growth and disease pressure are recommended.

Waiting period (preharvest period in days): grape, apple, pear 35 days,
