Benefits of Using Aliette Fungicide Bayer 80% WP

Broad-Spectrum Activity

Aliette is especially effective against Phytophthora-induced diseases, such as:

• Late Blight in potatoes and tomatoes
• Downy mildew in grapes
• Root rot in avocados and citrus
• Phytophthora blight in ornamentals

These diseases are common in humid environments. Therefore, using Aliette offers protection in even the most challenging climates.

Systemic Protection

Being systemic, the fungicide is absorbed by the plant and distributed through its vascular system. Consequently, internal and external plant tissues receive uniform protection. In addition, hard-to-reach areas such as roots and lower leaves are also shielded.

Rainfastness

After the product dries on the plant, it continues to offer full protection. As a result, growers can apply it with confidence, knowing that unexpected rain won’t wash it away.

Long-Term Disease Control

Aliette provides disease suppression for up to 10 days. This means growers can reduce application frequency, saving time and resources while lowering the overall pesticide load.

Low Phytotoxicity

Aliette has a low risk of harming plants, even when applied to sensitive crop types. Thus, it is a safe and effective option across various farming environments.

Versatile Application Methods

Whether sprayed onto leaves or used through drip or sprinkler systems, the product adapts to all common farming practices. In turn, this versatility increases convenience for farmers.

How Aliette Fungicide Bayer 80% WP Works

Aliette works by inhibiting the cellular functions of fungi, especially Phytophthora. Its active ingredient, Fosetyl Aluminum, disrupts fungal development and spread. Once applied, it is absorbed by the plant and transported throughout its vascular system, creating a barrier that protects against new infections.

Moreover, the product works quickly. It targets spores upon contact and reinforces plant immunity over time. Eventually, this leads to healthier crops and improved yields.

Targeted Diseases and Crops

Disease Type	Affected Crop(s)	Symptoms
Late Blight	Potatoes, Tomatoes	Yellowing leaves, black spots, rapid wilting, plant death
Downy Mildew	Grapes	Pale leaves, downy growth beneath foliage, stunted development
