🌿 Product Overview:

Triforine is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide used to control a variety of fungal diseases in fruit trees, vegetables, roses, ornamentals, and field crops. Its dual-action—preventive and curative—makes it particularly valuable in integrated disease management programs.

It is absorbed through leaves and translocated upward through the xylem, offering internal protection from pathogens. Triforine is especially effective against powdery mildew, rust, black spot, and scab, providing rapid knockdown and extended residual control with low phytotoxicity.

🔍 Key Features & Benefits:

• ✅ Systemic and contact activity for long-lasting protection

• ✅ Effective as both a preventive and early curative fungicide

• ✅ Controls a wide range of leaf and flower diseases

• ✅ Low toxicity to plants and beneficial insects

• ✅ Excellent for ornamental plants, particularly roses

• ✅ Rainfast within a few hours of application

• ✅ Compatible with many IPM programs and tank-mix partners

🌾 Crops Protected:

• Fruits: Apples, grapes, peaches, citrus, cherries

• Vegetables: Beans, peas, cucurbits

• Ornamentals: Roses, azaleas, hydrangeas, and other flowering plants

• Field Crops: Soybeans, peanuts

🦠 Diseases Controlled:

• Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe spp.)

• Rusts (Puccinia spp.)

• Scab (Venturia inaequalis)

• Leaf spot, blight, and other fungal foliar diseases

⚙️ Mode of Action:

Triforine disrupts fungal sterol biosynthesis, which is essential for fungal cell membrane integrity and reproduction. It interferes with the formation of ergosterol, inhibiting spore germination and mycelial growth. It is classified under FRAC Group 3 (DMIs – Demethylation Inhibitors).

📋 Application Guidelines:

• Method: Foliar spray using knapsack, tractor-mounted, or aerial sprayers

• Typical Dosage:

  • Fruit trees & ornamentals: 200–400 ml/ha (EC formulation)

  • Turf & roses: 2–4 ml/l of water for spot treatment

• Spray Interval: Every 7–14 days depending on disease pressure

• Water Volume: 500–1000 L/ha depending on canopy size

• Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI): 14–21 days (depending on crop and jurisdiction)

• Re-Entry Interval (REI): Usually 24 hours

⚠️ Precautions & Handling:

• Avoid spraying during peak sun hours to reduce the risk of leaf burn

• Do not apply to stressed or drought-affected plants

• Use protective clothing and equipment during mixing and spraying

• Keep away from aquatic environments—toxic to fish and aquatic invertebrates

• Avoid contamination of water bodies and follow local environmental regulations

📦 Packaging & Storage:

• Packaging Sizes:

  • 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml, 1 L, 5 L (EC formulations)

  • 100g, 250g sachets (WP formulation)

  • Avoid exposure to heat, flame, and direct sunlight

• Shelf Life: 2 years from date of manufacture when stored properly

♻️ Compatibility & Resistance Management:

• Compatible with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides (conduct a jar test before mixing)

• To prevent resistance, rotate with fungicides from different FRAC groups

• Limit number of applications per season per crop

• Incorporate with Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies

✅ Conclusion:

Triforine offers reliable, systemic control of powdery mildew, black spot, rusts, and other foliar diseases across a range of crops and ornamental plants. With both protective and curative properties, it is a go-to solution for growers looking to maintain plant health and improve crop and flower quality.
