Systemic and contact fungicide for the control of apple scab and powdery mildew in apple orchards
Active Ingredients
- Dithianon – 160 g/L
- Pyraclostrobin – 53 g/L
Formulation
SC (Suspension Concentrate)
Manufacturer
Pilarquim (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., China
Mode of Action
PILARCEL® SC is a high-performance fungicide combining the multi-site protective activity of dithianon with the systemic action of pyraclostrobin, providing comprehensive protection against the major diseases of apple.
Dithianon forms a protective barrier on the plant surface, preventing spore germination and infection, while pyraclostrobin rapidly penetrates plant tissues and inhibits fungal development within the leaves.
This dual mode of action provides both preventive protection and early curative activity, helping maintain healthy foliage and high fruit quality throughout the growing season.
Product Benefits
Dual protective barrier
Dithianon provides rainfast contact protection, while pyraclostrobin delivers systemic internal control.
Excellent rainfastness
The advanced formulation ensures strong adhesion and high resistance to wash-off after drying.
Green Effect
Pyraclostrobin enhances photosynthesis, reduces oxidative stress and keeps foliage greener and physiologically active for longer.
Resistance management
The combination of a multi-site contact fungicide and a systemic fungicide significantly reduces the risk of pathogen resistance.
Excellent crop safety
Highly selective for apple trees throughout all growth stages when applied according to label recommendations.
