You’ve conventional and biorational product options for soft and top fruit that enable you to make the most of FRAC guidelines. To support this, several Certis fungicides offer a unique MoA (mode of action). You’ll tackle key fruit diseases including powdery mildew, Botrytis, apple scab and other surface pathogens. Most important, you'll be able to 'take more home' - maximum marketable produce - and 'leave less behind' in waste and resistance. In addition, you've spider mite control across the lifecycle of key species. And you'll discover conventional and biorational crop solutions for vines. Naturally, you can rely on the technical expertise of the Certis horticulture team to help you develop effective programmes: we’re committed to take you through to a successful harvest with top-class crops. Take more home with Certis fruit fungicides TOP FRUIT FUNGICIDES SOFT FRUIT FUNGICIDES Frupica Takumi Karma Amylo-X Why Frupica Frupica will help prevent Botrytis in your outdoor and protected strawberries. But it does more than that. It’s the only fungicide in FRAC 9 to offer moderate powdery mildew control, giving you an additional resistance management option. You’ll find using Frupica very flexible. It’s highly IPM compatible with low impact on beneficials and no flower damage. Five-day residual activity makes application manageable close to harvest. Frupica will benefit your beneficials - IOBC Standard Classification (1-Harmless. 2-Slightly Harmful. 3-Moderately Harmful. 4-Harmful.) Mode of action Frupica's active, mepanipyrim, is an anilinopyrimidine that works in contact with the plant. Its MoA reduces mycelium growth and sporulation of conidia. This is achieved by preventing and disturbing the formation of haustoria and inhibiting: Amino acid (methionine) Production of hydrolytic enzymes (pectinase) Transport of nutrients from plant to fungus How Frupica prevents development of Botrytis and powdery mildew Proof Studies show the efficacy of Frupica in strawberry waiting beds (Rijsbergen 2009) – so you know you can rely on it.

The effects of untreated infestations can persist beyond the current season with productivity impaired by feeding damage. Spider mite feeding damage Overwintered spider mite eggs are notoriously tricky to spot. If you leave them untreated until there are visible mites and damage at a later growth stage, the canopy is often much denser making control more challenging: mites are often found on the underside of the leaf, so are more difficult to hit. It’s even harder to distinguish between mite species. Changing weather conditions mean that species are ‘migrating’ to crops where they haven’t previously been seen. This makes the picture more complicated, as having mixed species at various lifecycle stages and with different multiplication rates in a crop means they are more difficult to tackle and adversely affects the ability of beneficials to manage them alone. The answer – go early Use an effective acaricide that targets eggs and larvae – Nissorun® Follow up if needed at the first signs of mite activity to relieve pressure and give you flexibility for the best chance of control – Kanemite® Complementary acaricides for season-long control It’s time to cut spider mites down to size, with Nissorun and Kanemite. They fill gaps in control where other options have been withdrawn, are restricted in use or aren’t IPM-friendly. Different lifecycle stages complicate control Red fruit tree spider mite Both provide targeted control at key stages. In the long run, you’ll have fewer problems with the most important spider mite species, Two-spotted (Tetranychus urticae) and Fruit Tree Red (Panonychus ulmi), while protecting your macrobiologicals. Both support IPM, allowing beneficials and natural predators to stay alive and active. They give the variety and novelty you need across IRAC groups to manage resistance, with no cross-resistance to other acaricides including METIs. And you can alternate easily with biopesticides like Majestik for a balanced programme. Highly cost-effective Nissorun and Kanemite work on contact activity, so using maximum concentration and achieving optimal spray coverage is essential. But they deliver more with their ability to tailor dose rate and water volume to the crop growth stage and density. The earlier and smaller the crop, the lower the effective dose and water volume needed to tackle mites. It’s a winning combination. See how they work Watch this quick animation: See what advisors and growers say Alex Radu Richard Killian Jonathan Blackman “Very good selectivity with minimal effects on non-target species.” Following a cold start to the 2021 season, pest development has been slow. However, spider mite populations are set to grow rapidly in orchards favoured by the inevitable increase in temperatures. In orchards where levels of predatory mites are not sufficient to keep pest mites under control, well-timed acaricide applications are necessary. Protected crops are likely to see an exponential increase of spider mite numbers, so thorough and regular pest and beneficials monitoring is very important. With a general trend of summers getting longer and warmer (Met Office), spider mite crop risk is becoming increasingly important for stone fruit as well as top fruit orchards. Kanemite is an acaricide with very good selectivity and minimal effects on non-target species, which fits the Agrovista Fruit IPM strategy perfectly. An application gives good knockdown for a range of pest spider mites such as T. urticae, T. cinnabarinus, P. ulmi, etc. Kanemite is effective on all growth stages of the pests, has long residual activity while being safe to the key predators and is a good fit in an IPM approach. Efficacy is not affected by temperature. It has contact and ingestion activity, so adequate spray coverage is essential to achieve good control. Kanemite should not be tank-mixed with highly alkaline products, as this would affect its efficacy. Last season’s applications in both stone and top fruit orchards gave good pest control, when they were timed and applied correctly, following thorough crop monitoring, while having minimum impact on beneficials and non-target species. Alex Radu, Technical Manager, Agrovista Fruit "It's all about balance." A proactive approach with Nissorun and Kanemite maintains the balance between predatory mites and pest mites. This allows for natural suppression through the remainder of the season. Richard Killian, Fruit Agronomist and Technical Coordinator, Agrii “If you start low, it’s easier to stay low.” That’s the approach I recommend to tree fruit and hop growers to reduce spider mite populations throughout the season. Nissorun and Kanemite are valuable additions to the acaricides market. It really helps that they are both IPM-predator-friendly.

A rapid growth in plantings over the past few years has put grapevines on the map as a serious UK fruit crop. Couple this with numerous English Wines consistently performing in terms of quality at European and International levels, its paints an excellent picture for the future of British Wines. With the area of grapevines rapidly growing across the country, it is important to take a step back to assess what challenges these crops could face in producing for an ever-increasing demand. Consistent productivity is difficult to acheive with British weather systems being so variable year to year. English sparkling wine yields need to hit a long term average of 8t/ha, while only currently achieving 3t/ha. Certis has developed a wide range of conventional and biorational crop solutions to help you develop innovative IPM strategies, vital for sustainable vine production.
