Bolivar Forte, SC

Two-component systemic and translaminar fungicide for the control of dangerous diseases of cereal crops

Active substance: tebuconazole, 240 g/l + kresoxim-methyl, 125 g/l

Chemical class: triazoles and strobilurins

Preparative form: concentrated suspension (CS)

Packaging: 5 l

Mechanism of action

Tebuconazole of the triazole chemical class blocks the biosynthesis of ergosterol, which is part of the cell membrane of the fungus, leading to disturbances in the cell division process and subsequently to the death of the pathogen. Kresoxim-methyl of the strobilurin class.

Recommendations for use

Advantages

• A broad spectrum of action due to the combination of systemic triazole with the translaminar activity of strobilurin.
• The preparation is effective at various stages of pathogen development.
• It has prophylactic, therapeutic and anti-sporulatory effects.
• It responds to the anti-resistance strategy of plant protection.

PROPERTIES

Kresoxim-methyl forms stable reserves on the wax coating of plant parts, which are highly resistant to washing off by precipitation. Continuous release and redistribution of the active substance during diffusion occurs over several days. As a result, kresoxim-methyl is evenly distributed both on the plant surface and translaminar within the leaf, which prolongs the protection of the plant against pathogens. Tebuconazole penetrates the plant through the assimilatory parts and spreads uniformly in the xylem within 1-2 hours after application, ensuring rapid localization of infection and long-term crop protection. Following the use of Bolivar Forte, a pronounced effect of a healthy cell (health effect) is manifested, expressed in the suspension of cell ageing through suppression of ethylene biosynthesis and an increase in endogenous cytokinins, prolongation of photosynthesis and a subsequent increase in qualitative and quantitative yield indicators.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

The fungicide protects against diseases both prophylactically and at their first signs. However, it is very important to spray before diseases cause irreversible crop losses. A prerequisite is to ensure continuous surface coverage and to spray the plants liberally when applying the preparation. It is not necessary to add an active substance to the tank mixture unless this improves the wettability of the plants and accelerates the penetration of the active substances into the plants.
