INTRODUCTION:
Folpan™ 800 WG is a water dispersible granular multi-site fungicide that is intended to deliver industry standard protection against powdery mildew, downy mildew and botrytis in grapes.

KEY FEATURES:
✔ Comprised of the highly compatible Folpet 800 g/kg.
✔ Our submission is for protection against powdery mildew, downy mildew, and botrytis.
✔ Multi-site activity: no resistance has been detected globally.
✔ Respectful to the natural environment: can be integrated into sustainable pest management programs.

INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT: 
Folpet is known for its high selectiveness against beneficial arthropods (inc bees, parasitic mites) and other microorganisms. Folpet fits perfectly into sustainable pest management programs.

MODE OF ACTION
Folpet is a multi-site fungicide from the phthalimide family and part of the FRAC group M4. It is a preventative chemistry that acts via contact, forming a protective barrier on the surface of the plant.
There is no known resistance to Folpet which works at three levels of the mycelium.

1. Cell division: Folpet acts on the disease cell nuclei by disrupting cell division and inhibiting germ growth.
2. Respiration: Folpet interferes with energy production in mitochondria. It binds to the enzyme responsible for energy production and disease growth and blocks that activity.
3. Cell permeability: Folpet works to break down disease cell walls, stopping cell development.

TREATMENT AND RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT: 
Folpet acts at three different levels of the cell which ensures robustness and no known resistance to date. The integration of Folpet in resistance management strategies are key to extending the effectiveness of other molecules and fungicide programs.

WINEMAKING:
FOLPAN™ 800 WG has undergone fermentation and sensory studies finding no adverse impact on fermentation. Wines and spirits produced from vines treated with FOLPAN™ 800 WG can be exported without restrictions to most countries.
