Unlike coppers, which act by contact, BION\u00ae 50 WG works internally, reducing the bacterial load inside the plant, especially in the vascular vessels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ra\u00fal M\u00e9ndez, Syngenta's agroAmigo zone manager, highlights the importance of applying this Syngenta tool: \u201cFor copper, it doesn't matter whether we have leaves or not, but with BION the foliage needs to be active, so our technical recommendation is to apply it from March 15 to April 15, considering that cherry producers, starting from this last fortnight, need the leaves to be down in order to start accumulating cold.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding dosage, M\u00e9ndez adds: \u201cIt should be used at 10 grams per 100 liters of water since it is a product that does not require a high level of wetting, since it is quite systemic. That is why 1000 liters of water per hectare are sufficient to achieve the eliciting effect we are looking for. In any case, it should be accompanied by other precautionary measures such as copper or antibiotics, which are some of the few tools that exist today for the control of bacterial cancer in cherry trees. It is a measure that is not sufficient on its own, but no tool on its own is sufficient. The success of a management program lies in the combination of different tools with different modes of action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In summary, BION\u00ae50 WG is an effective tool to strengthen plant defenses against diseases, complementing traditional control methods and contributing to healthier and more sustainable agricultural production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
