Technical Specifications

How Cultivo Works

1. Tebuconazole — FRAC Group 3: A triazole DMI fungicide that inhibits C14-demethylase in fungal sterol biosynthesis. It is absorbed by treated plant tissue and moves mainly upward.
2. Sulphur — FRAC Group M02: An inorganic, multi-site contact fungicide that protects treated surfaces through several effects on fungal cells.
3. Programme stewardship: Use at the registered rate and follow the current label or local agricultural expert advice for spray timing and resistance management.
