Aliette Oomycete Fungicide - Fosetyl-Al 80% WP - Bayer

Bayer Aliette Fungicide: Product Overview

Fosetyl-Al 80% WP true systemic fungicide for the crop-and-disease uses stated on the current Indian label.

Bayer Aliette is a systemic fungicide containing Fosetyl Aluminium (Fosetyl-Al) 80% WP. Bayer states that it is absorbed through both leaves and roots and moves in acropetal and basipetal directions—upward and downward within treated plants. This movement helps protect treated plant tissues when the product is used preventively and according to its label.

Indian sources list uses in grapes for downy mildew, cardamom for Azhukal disease and damping-off/rhizome-rot disease complexes, and tomato seedlings for damping off. Crop, disease, dose, water volume, application method, pre-harvest interval and re-entry directions must come from the current Indian pack label; do not extend a recommendation from one crop to another.

Why Choose Bayer Aliette?

• True systemic movement: absorbed through foliage and roots, with movement both upward and downward within treated plants.
• Purpose-specific disease protection: Indian recommendations include grape downy mildew, cardamom Azhukal/damping-off disease complexes and tomato seedling damping off.
• Preventive application fit: Bayer recommends treatment before grape downy mildew appears and early treatment when cardamom disease is first noticed.
• Nursery application: Bayer describes a label-directed drench schedule for tomato seedlings rather than a general foliar-use claim.
• Four practical pack sizes: the current Mana Agri Mart product has 100 gms, 250 gms, 500 gms and 1 kg variants.

Technical Specifications

How Aliette Works

After application, Fosetyl-Al is taken up through treated foliage or roots and is redistributed in both directions within the plant. Bayer describes Aliette as acting directly on the disease organism while also supporting the plant's own defence response. This systemic behaviour distinguishes it from fungicides that remain only on the sprayed surface.

Systemic movement does not make Aliette suitable for every crop or disease. Apply it only where the current Indian label lists the crop, disease, application method and rate. For disease-program planning, treat FRAC P07 as its own mode-of-action group and choose any rotation product only where that product's separate label covers the crop and disease.

Registered Crops, Diseases, Dose, Water, PHI and Timing

PHI = pre-harvest interval. The grape and cardamom values above are hectare-based Indian registered-use values. Do not convert them into a fixed per-litre or per-acre dose unless the current label and actual spray-water volume support that conversion.

Re-entry interval: an exact Indian re-entry interval was not stated in the official sources checked. Keep people and animals out of the treated area until spray has dried and follow any longer interval printed on the current pack label.

Application and Safety

• Confirm the crop, disease, dose, water volume, timing and PHI on the current Indian label before measuring the product.
• Because Aliette is a wettable powder, avoid breathing dust while measuring. Prepare and agitate the spray mixture only as directed on the pack label.
• For grapes, preventive timing and complete coverage are important. For tomato seedlings, follow the label's drench method rather than treating the use as a general foliar spray.
• Do not assume compatibility with another pesticide, fertilizer or adjuvant. This page makes no tank-mix recommendation.
• Wear the personal protective equipment stated on the current label, including suitable protective clothing, gloves and face/eye protection during measuring, mixing and application.
• Keep the product in its original labelled container, securely closed and away from children, livestock, food, feed and drinking-water sources.
• Avoid spray drift, runoff and contamination of ponds, streams and other water bodies. Dispose of empty packaging only as directed by the label and local rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bayer Aliette systemic or contact?
Aliette is a true systemic fungicide. Bayer states that it is absorbed through leaves and roots and moves both upward and downward within treated plants.

What is the active ingredient in Aliette?
Aliette contains Fosetyl Aluminium, commonly written as Fosetyl-Al, at 80% in a wettable-powder formulation.

What is Aliette's FRAC group?
Fosetyl-Al is classified in FRAC Group P07, the phosphonates group. Older documents may show the former Group 33 code.

Can Aliette be used for grape downy mildew?
Yes. The Indian registered-use table lists grape downy mildew at 1,400-2,000 g/ha in 750-1,000 L water/ha with a 30-day PHI. Confirm the current pack label before use.

Can Aliette be used on tomato?
The Indian Registration Committee approved expansion to tomato seedlings for damping off, and Bayer describes two label-directed drenches. The exact dose, water volume and PHI must be read from the current Indian pack label because those values were not stated in the official sources checked for this packet.
