Acrobat Complete Fungicide Features and Benefits
Dual-Site Protection
Combines systemic Dimethomorph with contact multi-site Metiram for broader and stronger disease control.
Curative and Preventive Action
Stops fungal development inside the plant and forms a protective barrier to prevent new infections.
Anti-Sporulant Effect
Prevents spore formation, reducing secondary spread in the field.
Systemic & Translaminar Activity
Dimethomorph penetrates plant tissues and protects both sides of leaves.
Multi-Site Resistance Management
Metiram acts on multiple fungal sites, lowering the risk of resistance development.
Strong Rainfastness
Becomes rainfast within approximately 2–3 hours after spraying.
Protection of New Growth
Systemic movement helps safeguard newly emerging plant parts.
Mode of Action Explained
Dimethomorph (9%)
A systemic fungicide that inhibits cell wall formation in Oomycete fungi. It disrupts fungal growth and stops disease progression internally.
Metiram (44%)
A contact fungicide with multi-site activity. It forms a protective shield on plant surfaces, preventing fungal spores from germinating.
The combination ensures both inside-out and outside-in disease control.
