Albaugh Brazil launches Reconil RFT as an alternative to mancozeb and chlorothalonil

Albaugh Brazil has exclusively revealed to AgroPages the launch of the multi-site fungicide Reconil^® RFT. The product is formulated based on the active ingredient copper oxychloride in a wettable powder (WP) formulation.

This is a new version of the product, which has been improved with the addition of adjuvants that generally increase the quality of the formulation and provide rain fastness. This is due to the exclusive RFT (Rain Fastness Technology) technology.

Albaugh said these characteristics enhance the performance of the multi-site fungicide, making it an ideal alternative to mancozeb and chlorothalonil. According to the manufacturer, the new formulation, based on the company's patented technology, delivers better dispersibility of the micro granules in the spray solution.

"It will be ready for quick application without nozzle clogging. The uniformity of these micro granules also contributes to the uniform distribution of the active ingredient on the leaf cuticle (coverage), enhancing the contact effect against diseases," Albaugh added.

According to the multinational company of North American origin, Reconil^® RFT has a low dosage and low toxicological classification. "It is a flexible solution that can be applied at any stage of soybean production," Albaugh continued.

"An ideal partner for site-specific fungicides, Reconil^® RFT enhances resistance management practices, does not clog spray nozzles, offers broad-spectrum control, and is less washable in rain situations, providing more convenience and peace of mind to the grower," Albaugh said in conclusion.

Reconil RFT is recommended for resistance management in soybeans and various other crops. It also offered a broad spectrum of disease control. Versatile, it can be applied at any crop stage. Reconil RFT is indicated to complement site-specific fungicides and is a smart solution in multi-site product rotation programs.

According to the label, the product has application recommendations for avocado, cotton, peanut, potato, cocoa, sugarcane, onion, bean, fig, guava, papaya, mango, quince, loquat, soybean, tomato, wheat, and grape.
