Main advantages
- Mepiquat chloride and prohexadione — the stem elongates less
- Pyraclostrobin 100 g/L — fungicidal action against phoma
- Sunflower at BBCH 18–33 — the stage for reducing height
- Rate 1.0–2.0 l/ha — together with Turbo in a 2:1 ratio
Overview
About this product
Architect is a growth regulator with fungicidal action in a suspo-emulsion: mepiquat chloride 150 g/L and prohexadione-calcium 25 g/L restrain stem elongation, while pyraclostrobin 100 g/L acts against diseases. The product is systemic and translaminar.
Sunflower is sprayed from 6 true leaves to the end of head formation against phoma, phomopsis, septoria, sclerotinia, alternaria and rust, and oilseed rape during the growing season against phoma and light leaf spot. The rate is 1.0–2.0 l/ha together with Turbo 0.5–1.0 kg/ha, up to two treatments; on soybean 1.0 l/ha with Turbo 0.5 kg/ha.
