At 7 Worlds Ag, we’re always looking for innovative solutions that help growers achieve healthy, high-yielding crops while supporting sustainable farming practices. That’s why we’re excited to introduce ProBlad Verde, a revolutionary fungicide that offers effective disease control with a unique mode of action. Whether you’re growing stone fruit, grape vines, berries, or cucurbits, ProBlad Verde provides targeted protection against a range of fungal diseases.
What is ProBlad Verde?
ProBlad Verde is a Group BM01 Fungicide that offers a new and unique mode of action, providing multi-site control for various fungal diseases. Unlike many traditional fungicides, ProBlad Verde targets all active life stages of the disease, including fungal spore germination and cell growth, resulting in more effective and long lasting control.
This versatile fungicide is particularly effective in preventing and controlling diseases like Blossom Blight, Botrytis Grey Mould, and Powdery Mildew across a range of crops, making it an essential tool for both conventional and organic farming systems. It’s exempt from Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs), meaning it’s safe to use up to and during harvest, ensuring you can apply it right up until the day of picking without concern.
New & Extended Label Coverage
ProBlad Verde has expanded its label to cover a broader range of crops and diseases, ensuring that it’s a valuable tool for many growers. The new label includes:
- Stone Fruit | Control of Blossom Blight and suppression of Brown Rot (Monilinia spp.)
- Wine and Table Grapes | Control of Botrytis Grey Mould (Botrytis cinerea)
- Berries | Control of Botrytis Grey Mould (Botrytis cinerea)
- Cucurbits | Control of Powdery Mildew (Podosphaera xanthii; Sphaerotheca fuliginea)
These additions are part of an ongoing effort to expand the use of ProBlad Verde, with an extensive trial program in place to test new crops and further extend its label in the future.
Key Features and Benefits
There are several standout features that make ProBlad Verde a game-changer for growers. These include:
Unique Mode of Action (Group BM01 Fungicide)
ProBlad Verde works differently from other fungicides, targeting multiple sites in the fungal cell, which reduces the risk of resistance development.
Multisite Control
ProBlad Verde is effective on a broad spectrum of fungal diseases, making it a valuable option for resistance management.
Certified for Organic Production
ProBlad Verde is certified for use in organic farming by NASAA, making it suitable for a wide range of farming practices.
No Withholding Period
ProBlad Verde can be applied up to and during the day of harvest, offering greater flexibility and efficiency for growers.
Non-Toxic to Insects, Mammals, and Plants
Unlike some fungicides, ProBlad Verde is non-toxic to pollinators and beneficial insects, so it won’t harm your farm’s ecosystem.
Rainfast in 2-4 Hours
This fast-acting fungicide ensures you’re protected even in unpredictable weather.
No Re-Entry Interval (REI)
Once the product has dried, there’s no required re-entry interval, making it easier for workers to resume their tasks after application.
How Does ProBlad Verde Work?
ProBlad Verde operates by crossing the fungal cell wall and deforms the chitin structures within the cell. This disruption of the fungal cell wall impacts the fungus’s ability to absorb nutrients, halting its reproduction cycle and eventually killing the fungal cells. By targeting various stages of the disease’s lifecycle, ProBlad Verde provides thorough, long-lasting protection against fungal infections.
A Fungicide That Supports Sustainable Agriculture
ProBlad Verde’s unique characteristics make it an excellent choice for resistance management. Its multi-site action ensures that fungal pathogens are targeted from multiple angles, making it harder for resistance to develop. Additionally, ProBlad Verde is suitable for organic farming systems, certified by NASAA (National Association for Sustainable Agriculture, Australia), supporting sustainable practices that are good for both the environment and your farm’s productivity.
Available in 4L Packs
ProBlad Verde is available in 4L packs, providing a convenient and efficient solution for growers. Whether you’re applying it to small, high-value crops or large-scale orchards and vineyards, ProBlad Verde’s flexible application rates make it a versatile option for a variety of farming operations.
