- Vivando 50 SC is a locally systemic fungicide containing metrafenone 500 g/L. It is highly effective against powdery mildew on grapes and sensitive vegetables such as cucumber, zucchini and strawberry.
- It moves through the leaf tissue (translaminar action) to protect both the upper and lower leaf surfaces, forming a protective shield that stops spore formation and the spread of fungal infection. Thanks to its strong retention on the leaves, Vivando gives long-lasting protection and helps maintain crop quality and yield.
Key Features
- Effective against powdery mildew at all stages.
- Preventive and early curative action that stops infection and fungal spread.
- Moves inside the leaf to protect both upper and lower surfaces.
- Rainfast shortly after spraying.
- Safe on plants when used at the recommended rates.
- Suitable for integrated pest management (IPM) programmes.
