MIRAVIS^® fungicide in grapes

Q: Why is MIRAVIS® restricted to until pre-flowering (EL19; BBCH49) in wine grapes?

Using MIRAVIS® at the registered rate of 20mL/100L during flowering would expose Botrytis cinerea to a non-efficacious rate of Pydiflumetofen. The restrictions are designed to prevent Botrytis cinerea resistance from developing.Pre-flowering is also the most critical time for the most effective control of powdery mildew, both in this season and reducing carryover for next season.

Q: What is the rain fast time of MIRAVIS®?

MIRAVIS® is rainfast in 1 hour.

Q: Length of control?

MIRAVIS® offers long lasting (up to 21 days) rainfast control of Powdery Mildew under all weather conditions on treated plant material.

Q: What products does Syngenta recommend in between the two sprays before flowering?

TOPAS®, THIOVIT JET®, SEEKER® Duo and any non GROUP 7 fungicide.

Q: Advantages over other chemistry?

MIRAVIS® has equal to or better efficacy against Powdery Mildew providing longer lasting control – up to 21 days - and is an alternative fungicide mode of action (MoA) group compared to Prosper, Digger*, Bayfidan* and Telando*.

Q: What is the ideal mixing partner?

THIOVIT® Jet is the ideal mixing partner to mitigate the risk of fungicide resistance to powdery mildew.When weather conditions are conducive for downy mildew, mix MIRAVIS® with REVUS® to provide long lasting (up to 21 days) rainfast control of Powdery Mildew and Downy Mildew.

Q: MIRAVIS® & Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

MIRAVIS® is generally suitable for use in IPM programs. Two representative arthropod species (predatory mite (Typhlodromus pyri) and parasitoid wasp (Aphidius rhopalosiphi)) were tested and there were no treatment-related effects on survival and reproduction of either species at any rate.

Q: Crop safety in grapes?

MIRAVIS® was tested in five different grape varieties (cv Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, White Frontignac, Menindee Seedless, Riesling).In four crop safety trials which evaluated MIRAVIS® at 100mL to 300mL/100L (3x concentrate application) no phytotoxicity was observed that was associated with fungicide application on grapevine leaves, flowers or fruit.There was no impact on yield from fungicide application or on shoot growth.

Delivers best-in-class efficacy in all conditions.
