Description
SUREFIRE RAPIDE AQUA 500SC Fungicide is a highly effective solution formulated with 500 g/L Iprodione to provide robust protection against a wide array of fungal diseases. Whether you’re managing a home garden or an expansive commercial operation, RAPIDE AQUA 500SC ensures that your plants stay healthy and disease-free throughout the year. Its powerful formulation is designed to combat common fungal threats like Botrytis, Sclerotinia, and Alternaria, making it an essential product for gardeners and farmers alike.
The active ingredient, Iprodione, is a contact fungicide that stops fungal spores from germinating. It also moves through the plant to provide both immediate and ongoing protection. While it can prevent and slow early fungal issues, it cannot cure severe, established infections.
