Revus is a unique fungicide developed by Syngenta, highly effective in controlling a range of fungal diseases, particularly downy mildew and late blight.1 Its active ingredient is Mandipropamid 23.4% SC (suspension concentrate).2
Key Features and Benefits:
Unique mode of action: Mandipropamid belongs to the mandelamide class of fungicides and has a unique mode of action that inhibits the growth of fungal pathogens by disrupting lipid biosynthesis and cell wall formation.3 This makes it an excellent tool for resistance management.
Broad-spectrum activity: Controls a wide range of diseases, including downy mildew, late blight, and Phytophthora blight in various crops.4
Contact and translaminar activity: Provides both surface and internal protection by forming a protective layer on the leaf and penetrating the leaf tissue.5
"Lok & Flo" feature: This unique characteristic allows the fungicide to quickly bind to the leaf surface ("Lok") and then penetrate into the leaf ("Flo"), providing rapid and long-lasting protection.6
Protective and curative action: Prevents infection and also helps in controlling existing infections.7
