Aero®
Better protection. Better produce.
Mode of action: Group 11 M3 fungicide
Active ingredient(s): 550 g/kg Metiram
Formulation: Water dispersible granules
Aero® combines exceptional, long-lasting protection against key diseases with physiological benefits that help produce healthier, more saleable mangoes, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplants and capsicums. Aero is registered for both early and late blight in potatoes; for anthracnose, stem end rots and powdery mildew in mangoes; early blight in solanaceous vegetables; and downy mildew in poppies.
Early Aero application creates a protective layer that grows with the crop and adding its two modes of action to your spray program can reduce resistance pressure across the whole fungicidal rotation.
Key benefits
- Long lasting protection
- Dual mode of action treatment
- Group 11 and Group M3 fungicide
- Enhanced produce quality at harvest
How it works
Aero® has two active ingredients – metiram and pyraclostrobin – that make it a member of both the strobilurin and multisite activity groups of fungicides. For resistance management, Aero is both a Group 11 and Group M3 fungicide.
Metiram is a non-systemic, preventative fungicide that forms a protective barrier on the plant’s surface. Pyraclostrobin blocks energy production in fungal cells and inhibits key fungal development processes like spore germination.
Aero should be used as part of a protectant program in rotation with fungicides that have other modes of action. Its combined multisite activity offers an enhanced resistance management tool.
