Aliette Fungicide
Aliette Fungicide is a highly effective systemic fungicide powered by Fosetyl-Al (Aluminium Phosphonate), specially designed to control destructive Oomycete diseases such as Downy Mildew and Phytophthora. Unlike conventional fungicides, Aliette works both directly on the fungus and indirectly by activating the plant’s natural defense mechanism.
With its unique upward and downward systemic movement (acropetal and basipetal translocation), Aliette provides complete internal plant protection, making it a trusted choice for grape, citrus, vegetable, and horticulture growers worldwide.

Aliette Fungicide Features and Benefits
True Systemic Movement
Aliette moves both upward and downward within the plant vascular system, ensuring protection of roots, stems, leaves, and new growth.
Dual Mechanism Action
• Directly inhibits fungal mycelial growth
• Stimulates plant phytoalexin production (natural defense compounds)
Long Residual Protection
Provides extended protection compared to contact fungicides due to internal translocation.
Excellent Rainfastness
Absorbed quickly by plant tissues, reducing wash-off risk after 2–3 hours of spray.
Anti-Sporulant Effect
Prevents spore formation and limits secondary spread in the field.
Low Resistance Risk
Unique mode of action makes it suitable for resistance management programs.
Mode of Action (Scientific Insight)
Fosetyl-Al belongs to the phosphonate group and works by disrupting fungal metabolism while simultaneously triggering Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR) in plants.
It is especially effective against Oomycetes such as:
-
Phytophthora spp.
-
Pythium spp.
-
Plasmopara spp.
-
Peronospora spp.
Unlike many fungicides that only protect sprayed surfaces, Aliette protects untreated plant parts through systemic movement.
