Description

Acibenzolar-S-Methyl is a systemic acquired resistance (SAR) activator, functioning as a plant defense potentiator rather than a direct fungicide. This compound is valued for its ability to enhance a plant's natural immune response against a broad spectrum of pathogens, offering a unique mode of action for integrated crop management. It is primarily needed by the agricultural industry for the protection of high-value crops such as vegetables, fruits, and cereals against fungal and bacterial diseases.

Application

• Induction of systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in a wide range of crops.
• Protection against fungal diseases, including downy mildew, powdery mildew, and leaf spot.
• Management of bacterial diseases such as bacterial speck and wildfire in crops like tobacco and tomato.
• Use in integrated pest management (IPM) programs to reduce reliance on conventional fungicides.
• Application on vegetables (e.g., cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers) and fruits (e.g., grapes, apples).li>- Formulation into wettable powders (WP) and suspension concentrates (SC) for foliar application.
  • Enhancement of crop quality and yield by mitigating disease pressure.
