Switch®: The Global Standard for Fruit Rot Protection

Blogs

Managing fruit rot, particularly Botrytis, is essential for the success of horticultural crops such as grapes and strawberries. Switch® relies on an advanced formulation combining two active ingredients (Fludioxonil and Cyprodinil) to provide comprehensive protection.

Switch® Technology: Technical Performance and Superior Formulation 

This technology is characterized by several technical features that ensure high efficiency:

  • The first active ingredient acts as a contact fungicide, creating an external shield that prevents fungal penetration.
  • The second provides systemic protection, penetrating plant tissues to eliminate latent infections and prevent their development.
  • The formulation includes over 30 inert ingredients that support performance, with active ingredient purity exceeding 97%.
  • The water-dispersible granule formulation ensures 100% solubility, preventing nozzle blockages and ensuring precise distribution.
  • Adjuvants and penetrants ensure the fungicide adheres to the fruit, providing wash-off resistance while facilitating rapid tissue penetration.

Export Quality and Mycotoxin Management

The presence of mycotoxins is a major barrier to export, often leading to shipment rejections. Switch® functions to:

  • Inhibit mycotoxin production, ensuring yield compliance with international health standards.
  • Improve external appearance and extend post-harvest shelf life.
  • Maintain the product's position as an approved essential solution in major global markets.

The Bottom Line: Switch® represents the optimal solution for fruit rot control, combining therapeutic and preventive power through two active ingredients, with superior manufacturing quality that ensures complete solubility and effective adhesion, providing protection against mycotoxins and enhancing the export potential of the crop.
