Syngenta‘ s advanced fungicide portfolio offers comprehensive protection against post-harvest diseases, particularly Botrytis, through a range of specialized solutions.

Picatina® Flora leads the lineup with its innovative dual-action formulation, combining pydiflumetofen and fludioxonil for superior, long-lasting Botrytis control in roses and ornamentals, while maintaining strong IPM compatibility and crop safety.

Switch®, a cornerstone in post-harvest protection, features two complementary active ingredients that provide robust resistance management and broad-spectrum control.

Tecto® delivers broad-spectrum systemic protection by inhibiting fungal mitosis, effectively controlling various pathogens including Botrytis, through its protective surface deposit and deep tissue penetration.

With its systemic action Chorus®, complements the portfolio against Botrytis with outstanding performance no matter the weather. It also features strong  IPM compatibility and safety for beneficial insects.

Ortiva® rounds out the selection with its comprehensive disease control capabilities, addressing Botrytis and other fungal diseases while offering valuable physiological benefits.

Its ability to preserve green leaf area and enhance water and nitrogen efficiency, combined with quick rainfastness and IPM compatibility, makes it an essential tool for growers.

These solutions are backed by Syngenta’s Expert Centre, providing extensive research, trials, and technical support to ensure optimal implementation and results. This integrated approach demonstrates Syngenta‘s commitment to sustainable agriculture while delivering effective disease control solutions across the value chain, particularly beneficial for long-distance sea freighting, where maintaining product quality is paramount for market success.
