Zorvec™ active

Potatoes

Protecting crops from disease helps ensure success for farms and access to the fresh produce we all rely on. Zorvec active is an essential active in the blight programme, allowing farmers to better manage their crops to improve yield and quality.

 

Preventative protection

 

Zorvec active works against a specific category of fungi known as oomycetes. Oomycetes spread by producing zoospores that can swim across a thin layer of water on a leaf, looking for the perfect spot to settle and attach themselves. 

Zorvec prevents oomycete diseases by stopping sporangia and zoospores from germinating. When used strategically during specific growth stages, this active ingredient helps keep plants healthier and more productive.

 

Zorvec active - first in its class

Zorvec active is the first active ingredient of its kind — a member of a novel class of fungicides that control diseases caused by oomycetes, acting at a unique site within the pathogen. Inside the plant it moves systemically to protect new growth as it emerges and develops.
