Bayer Aliette Fosetyl-Al 80% WP Systemic Fungicide

• True systemic movement: Fosetyl-Al moves acropetally and basipetally, helping protect treated plant tissues when used correctly.
• Oomycete disease management: the Indian label provides crop-specific directions for downy mildew and Phytophthora/Pythium-associated cardamom diseases.
• Preventive positioning: grape application begins at the 3–5 leaf stage after pruning; cardamom treatment begins when disease is first noticed.
• Host-defence activity: FRAC classifies phosphonates in Group P07, associated with host-plant defence induction.
• Clear pack-specific guidance: dosage, water volume and PHI are defined for each approved crop.

See the current physical pack label

Fosetyl-Al is rapidly taken up by roots and leaves and translocated in both directions within the plant. FRAC places it in Group P07, a phosphonate class associated with host-plant defence induction. This classification should not be described as a multi-site fungicide, and it does not justify an absolute claim that resistance cannot occur. Follow the labelled programme and rotate responsibly where local agronomic guidance requires it.

PHI means the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. Do not convert these hectare rates to a fixed per-litre dose without following the current label and the calibrated spray-water volume.

• Grapes: position the treatment preventively at the 3–5 leaf stage after pruning, using the label rate and water volume.
• Cardamom: apply as a foliar spray when the disease is first noticed, following the current label.
• Measure the WP carefully, prepare a uniform suspension and maintain adequate agitation during spraying.
• Use calibrated equipment and achieve uniform coverage without runoff.
• Do not infer tank-mix compatibility from the Related or Upsell products shown on this page; those products are alternatives or rotation options only.

Wear the personal protective equipment stated on the product label, including protection against WP dust during mixing. Avoid breathing dust and avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothing. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling or spraying. Wash thoroughly after use, store locked in the original container away from children, food and animal feed, and prevent product or wash water from entering drains, ponds or waterways. In case of exposure, follow the current label’s first-aid directions and seek medical advice with the label or container.

Important: Always read and follow the current official product label. Label directions take precedence over this guide.
