The hula girl always comes out in the spring

Growers have some unusual traditions — things they do every year to ensure a successful growing season. From the hula girl one grower pulls out at planting, to the barn dance another grower throws after every harvest, you go with what works. Just like the products that come through for you year after year, why mess with a good thing?

ELEVATE® provides proven protection and management of Botrytis and brown rot when applied early in the disease life cycle.

Key Crops & Diseases

Grape (gray mold), Strawberry, Raspberry, Blueberry, Ginseng (gray mold), Peaches, Cherries, Nectarines (brown rot)

Features & Benefits

  • Unique active ingredient Fenhexamid penetrates the cuticle of plant tissue, creating a protective barrier that helps prevent Botrytis infection by inhibiting spore germination, germ tube elongation and mycelia growth
  • Unique mode of action differs from other fungicides and shows no known cross-resistance to other
    commonly used fungicides
  • Excellent crop safety, with no adverse effect on fruit quality, size or flavour
  • Rainfast shortly after application
  • Short, 4-hour re-entry interval (REI)
  • User-friendly 50WDG formulation
  • Provides “reduced risk” use patterns
  • Minimal impact on environment and no impact on most beneficial insects

Graphs

Greenhouse trials have shown ELEVATE is rainfast shortly after application. Independent field trials prove that the unique mode of action of ELEVATE makes it very effective against Botrytis infection in grapes, strawberries and other fruits.
