Karathane Gold

• ⏱️ Curative & Eradicant Action: It doesn't just protect; it stops active disease. It effectively burns off existing fungal growth (mycelium) on contact.
• ?️ Resistance Fighter: An ideal rotation partner. It kills fungal spores that have become resistant to systemic fungicides (like Azoles), resetting your crop's protection.
• ⏳ Woody Part Sanitation: Unique ability to sanitize woody stems and canes, destroying overwintering fungus to ensure a disease-free start for the next season.
• ?️ Cold Weather Expert: Unlike Sulfur, which requires heat to work, Karathane Gold remains highly effective during cool winters and early mornings.
• ? Dual Action (Mite Control): While primarily a fungicide, it possesses significant acaricidal properties, suppressing Mite populations alongside Powdery Mildew.

Karathane Gold works by disrupting the energy balance of the fungal cell (Uncoupling of Oxidative Phosphorylation).

1. Contact & Absorption: The spray lands on the leaf and sticks to the fungal body and waxy cuticle.
2. Energy Blockade: Meptyldinocap enters the fungal mitochondria (the power plant of the cell) and causes a "short circuit" in energy production.
3. Rapid Death: Unable to produce ATP (energy), the fungus cannot grow, breathe, or feed, leading to rapid cell collapse and death.

Since this is a physical disruption of energy, it is very difficult for fungi to develop resistance against it.

The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.

• Timing: Apply as a preventive spray or at the first sign of white powdery patches. Ideal for cool weather conditions when sulfur is ineffective.
• Mixing: Fill the spray tank with half the required water, add the measured Karathane Gold, and mix well. Do not mix with oil-based formulations to avoid leaf burn.
• Coverage: This is a contact fungicide. Ensure thorough coverage of leaves (top and bottom), fruit bunches, and woody stems for best results.
• Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near water bodies.
