What Is Fluopicolide + Benzisothiazolinone SC?

This product combines an Oomycete-focused fungicide with an antimicrobial active ingredient in one SC formulation.

It is designed for crop programs where disease pressure may include:

• Downy mildew
• Phytophthora blight
• Potato late blight
• Damping-off
• Selected bacterial leaf diseases
• Selected fruit, stem and root diseases
• Mixed fungal and bacterial infections

The product should not be presented as a universal treatment for every fungal or bacterial disease.

Its commercial value depends on the disease spectrum supported by local registration, efficacy trials and crop-safety data.

Buyers developing a broader disease-management portfolio can review other fungicide products.

How Do the Two Active Ingredients Work?

Fluopicolide Group 43 Activity

Fluopicolide belongs to FRAC Group 43.

It disrupts the normal location and function of spectrin-like proteins in susceptible Oomycete pathogens. This affects important cellular structures and disease-development processes.

Fluopicolide may interfere with:

• Zoospore movement
• Spore germination
• Germ-tube development
• Mycelial growth
• Infection establishment
• Sporulation

Its strongest commercial positioning is against diseases caused by Oomycetes, including downy mildew, Phytophthora and selected Pythium diseases.

Fluopicolide Movement in Plants

Fluopicolide provides translaminar and locally systemic activity.

It may move from the treated leaf surface into the leaf tissue and upward through the xylem under suitable crop and application conditions.

This movement supports protection within treated tissues, but it does not mean that a partial spray deposit can protect the entire plant.

Complete canopy coverage remains important.

Benzisothiazolinone Antimicrobial Activity

Benzisothiazolinone is an antimicrobial active ingredient with activity against selected bacterial and fungal pathogens.

Its activity is associated with disruption of microbial cellular processes and interference with essential metabolic functions.

Within this formulation, Benzisothiazolinone is positioned to:

• Extend the disease spectrum beyond Oomycetes
• Support management of selected bacterial diseases
• Add activity against selected fungal pathogens
• Complement the Fluopicolide disease profile

Exact bacterial and fungal claims must be supported by the final product registration.

Combined Disease-Control Profile

The two active ingredients provide complementary functions:

Fluopicolide targets Oomycete disease development, while Benzisothiazolinone extends the product profile toward selected bacterial and fungal pathogens.

This makes the product relevant where crops face overlapping disease risks rather than one clearly isolated pathogen.

The formulation should not be described as containing copper or Thiadiazole Copper.

Main Product Advantages

Broader Mixed-Disease Positioning

Many high-value crops can be affected by more than one type of pathogen during the same production period.

This product may support programs involving:

• Oomycete disease pressure
• Bacterial infection risk
• Secondary fungal diseases
• Wet and humid production conditions
• Repeated disease history

Preventive and Early-Stage Use

The formulation is best positioned before disease becomes severe.

Early treatment can help reduce infection establishment and limit the development of new lesions where the pathogens remain susceptible.

It should not be promoted as restoring plant tissue already destroyed by disease.

Two Active Ingredients in One SC

The fixed-ratio formulation reduces the need to measure and combine two separate products in the spray tank.

This can support:

• Consistent active ingredient ratios
• Simpler distributor positioning
• Easier packaging and inventory planning
• More convenient field preparation
• One registration identity

High-Value Crop Direction

The product has useful market positioning in crops where disease damage can quickly affect yield, appearance or marketability.

Potential crop channels include:

• Grapes
• Potatoes
• Melons
• Vegetables
• Citrus
• Tropical fruits
• Tobacco
• Ginger
• Garlic and onion crops

Final claims remain registration-specific.

Typical Crop and Disease Directions

The following table preserves the main market directions of this formulation. It is not a universal crop and disease label.

Crop Direction	Typical Disease Direction	Product Positioning
Grapes	Downy mildew and approved bacterial or fungal diseases	Preventive canopy disease program
Melons and Beans	Downy mildew, Phytophthora blight and selected bacterial diseases	Mixed disease pressure
Solanaceous Crops	Phytophthora blight, damping-off and approved leaf diseases	Early protection
Potatoes	Late blight and selected bacterial or fungal diseases	Preventive and early-stage management
Taro	Phytophthora blight and approved soft-rot or leaf diseases	Crop-specific use
Leafy Vegetables	Downy mildew, damping-off and selected bacterial diseases	Short-cycle crop program
Citrus and Pitaya	Phytophthora, canker and anthracnose directions where registered	Fruit disease management
Litchi and Mango	Downy mildew, Phytophthora and selected fruit or leaf diseases	High-value fruit positioning
Tobacco	Black shank, downy mildew and selected bacterial diseases	Field disease program
Kiwifruit and Passion Fruit	Phytophthora and approved bacterial or fungal diseases	Crop-specific protection
Ginger and Allium Crops	Downy mildew, Phytophthora and selected bacterial soft rots	Root, bulb and foliage programs

Disease names should only appear on the final label when supported by registration and local efficacy data.

Grape Disease Programs

Grapes are an important market direction because warm, wet and humid conditions can favor rapid downy mildew development.

Applications may be considered:

• Before an infection period
• When disease forecasting indicates risk
• Before extended wet weather
• At the earliest visible disease stage
• As part of a structured rotation program

Bacterial canker, anthracnose, grey mould and other grape claims require separate confirmation for this exact formulation.

Potato and Solanaceous Crop Programs

Fluopicolide provides a strong technical basis for Phytophthora and late blight positioning.

In potatoes and solanaceous crops, application planning should consider:

• Crop growth stage
• Canopy development
• Infection forecast
• Irrigation
• Rainfall
• Disease history
• Resistance-management program

Bacterial wilt, scab, blackleg and other bacterial claims must be supported by the product registration.

Vegetable and Melon Programs

Vegetable and melon crops may experience downy mildew, Phytophthora and bacterial leaf diseases during the same growing period.

The product may be positioned where the label includes crops such as:

• Cucurbits
• Beans
• Tomatoes
• Peppers
• Eggplants
• Leafy vegetables

Short harvest intervals and crop-specific residue limits must be reviewed carefully.

Fruit and Specialty Crop Programs

Citrus, pitaya, mango, litchi, kiwifruit and passion fruit can be commercially valuable directions where local registration supports use.

Disease programs may involve:

• Phytophthora-related diseases
• Downy mildew
• Canker
• Anthracnose
• Leaf spots
• Stem and fruit infections

Do not assume that registration on one fruit crop automatically covers another.

When Should the Product Be Applied?

Preventive Timing

The preferred application timing is before infection becomes well established.

Treatment may be considered when:

• Weather favors Oomycete infection
• Rainfall and humidity are increasing
• The crop is entering a susceptible growth stage
• The field has a known disease history
• Disease has appeared in nearby production areas
• Forecasting models indicate high infection risk

Early Disease Development

Where the label permits, the product may also be used at the earliest visible disease stage.

Do not wait until:

• Lesions cover large parts of the crop
• Stem or root damage is advanced
• Severe wilting has developed
• Multiple infection cycles have occurred
• The crop canopy is too dense for adequate coverage

Mixed Disease Pressure

Correct disease identification remains important.

Symptoms caused by:

• Oomycetes
• True fungi
• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Nutrient disorders
• Environmental stress

may appear similar in the field.

The product should only be selected after the likely disease cause has been assessed.

Application Guidance

The following principles do not replace the approved label.

1. Confirm the Crop and Disease

Before treatment, verify:

• Registered crop
• Pathogen or disease
• Crop growth stage
• Disease-development stage
• Local resistance status
• PHI and REI

2. Apply Preventively or Early

Use the product before severe disease development.

This is especially important for downy mildew, Phytophthora and late blight programs, where infection can spread rapidly under favorable weather.

3. Shake the SC Container

SC formulations contain suspended particles.

Shake or circulate the product container according to the label before measuring.

4. Prepare the Spray Tank

Where permitted:

1. Fill the tank partly with clean water.
2. Start agitation.
3. Measure the required product volume.
4. Add the product slowly.
5. Add approved tank-mix partners in the correct order.
6. Complete filling with water.
7. Maintain agitation during application.

5. Achieve Complete Coverage

Coverage should reach:

• Upper and lower leaf surfaces
• Inner canopy foliage
• Young growth
• Stems
• Fruit surfaces where relevant
• Disease-prone plant zones

Translaminar movement does not replace proper application.

6. Follow the Registered Rate

Do not apply one universal rate or dilution ratio to all crops.

Application rate depends on:

• Crop
• Disease
• Crop stage
• Canopy size
• Application method
• Destination-market label

7. Respect Spray Intervals and PHI

Spray interval, PHI, REI and maximum seasonal use must come from the exact registered label.

Do not transfer values from another Fluopicolide or Benzisothiazolinone product.
