Switch 62.5 W.G. fungicide, preventive and curative, for combating fruit rots, gray mold, and botrytis, 250 grams

Switch 62.5 WG fungicide preventive and therapeutic 250 gramswitch 62.5 WG fungicide specialized to combat rots of fruits and gray mold and botrytis in vegetables and fruits, and relies on a dual formulation containing fluoxonil 25 g/kg and cyprodinil 37.5 g/kg. This formulation combines two different effects that help stop the development of infection and reduce the spread of the fungus inside plant tissues when using the product correctly and according to the label instructions. Switch is characterized by high effectiveness in sensitive stages such as flowering, beginning fruit formation, and pre-harvest, which are stages where infection with gray mold or fruit rots affects crop quality and marketability. It can be used within plant protection programs, especially in the fungicide section dedicated to combating fungal plant diseases. Fungal fungicide for gray mold and fruit rots Gray mold and fruit rots are fungal diseases that often appear in high humidity conditions, poor ventilation, and dense vegetative growth, and can infect flowers, fruits, and leaves depending on the crop and stage of infection. The danger of these diseases is that they not only affect plant growth but may also cause losses in marketable fruits, especially strawberries, grapes, tomatoes, cucumbers, gourds, and ornamental plants. Switch 62.5 WG helps reduce the development of infection when used preventively or at the onset of symptoms, because its dual formulation works with two different mechanisms of effect. This is important in fungal disease control programs; because repeated reliance on one active substance may increase the chances of resistance development in some fungi.

Uses of Switch in vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants Switch 62.5 WG is used within fungal disease control programs in vegetables and fruits, especially when the infection is related to gray mold or fruit rots. In grapes, it is used to combat gray mold and fruit rots during sensitive periods from fruit formation to pre-harvest stages. In strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, and gourds, it helps reduce the spread of gray mold when used at the beginning of infection or as a preventive before conditions favor the disease. It can also be used in ornamental plants to combat gray mold, especially in humid environments or poorly ventilated areas. For proper coverage, application tools from the agricultural sprayers and fertilizers section or suitable manual sprayers can be used. Switch 62.5 WG usage rates according to the label Grapes – gray mold and fruit rots: 80 to 100 grams per 100 liters of water, used at flowering or early fruit coloring, with a 55-day pre-harvest interval. Strawberries – gray mold: 80 to 100 grams per 100 liters of water, used before or after flowering, with a 5-day pre-harvest interval. Tomatoes – gray mold: 80 to 100 grams per 100 liters of water at the first symptoms, with a 7-day pre-harvest interval. Eggplants – gray mold: 80 to 100 grams per 100 liters of water at the beginning of infection, with a 10-day pre-harvest interval. Cucumbers and gourds – gray mold: 75 to 100 grams per 100 liters of water at symptom appearance, with a 7-day pre-harvest interval. Lettuce – gray mold and sclerotinia: 80 to 100 grams per 100 liters of water at early infection, with a 10-day pre-harvest interval. Ornamental plants – gray mold: 80 to 100 grams per 100 liters of water at symptom appearance, with no pre-harvest interval. Preparation and spraying method for Switch 62.5 WG Dissolve the required amount of Switch in a small amount of water with good stirring until the granules are distributed, then add the remaining water while continuing to stir. Then spray the plant until the leaves and fruits are fully covered, focusing on infection sites or sensitive parts such as flowers, clusters, and fruits. It is preferred to use the product preventively or at the start of infection, and not wait until the disease spreads significantly. Repeated spraying with the same fungicide without rotation with another from a different group should be avoided to reduce the risk of fungal resistance.
