Description
Kapłan 80 WG – effective protection against apple scab and grey mould in orchards and berry plantations
Kapłan 80 WG is a professional fungicide in granule form for preparing a water suspension (WG), intended for preventive use in the protection of orchards as well as berry plantations and ornamental plants. It contains kaptan (800 g/kg) – an active substance from the phthalimide group, which acts on the surface (contact), effectively protecting against a wide range of fungal diseases.

-
Effective preventive protection against the most dangerous diseases of orchards and berry plantations

Possible use on ornamental plants – spraying and bulb dipping
-
Proven and well-known action of kaptan – fungal resistance to this substance is very rare

Mode of action
Kaptan, as a contact substance, forms a protective layer on the surface of plants, preventing the germination of fungal spores. It acts preventively, not allowing infection, especially during periods of increased disease risk. It does not show systemic action, so thorough coverage of the plant surface with the working liquid is very important.
