Vivando® Fungicide

Vivando® is a modern fungicide developed by BASF with a unique mode of action designed primarily for effective control of powdery mildew on grapes and other susceptible crops. It helps protect yield and quality through its innovative chemistry and multiple coverage modes.

Active Ingredient & Formulation

• Active Ingredient: Metrafenone (500 g/L).
• Formulation: Suspension concentrate (SC).
• Metrafenone belongs to the benzophenone chemical class with a distinct mode of action.

Key Benefits

• Maximum control of powdery mildew, especially when applied preventively. 
• Improved coverage of foliage and fruit through rapid uptake and vapour phase activity. 
• Flexible use rates and application timing, fitting into integrated programs. 
• Provides excellent rainfastness shortly after application. 
• Useful in resistance management programs with other fungicide modes of action. 

Diseases Controlled

• Powdery Mildew — including on grapes and other susceptible crops. 

How It Works

• Metrafenone disrupts powdery mildew cell function, preventing spore germination and penetration. 
• The fungicide spreads in both liquid and vapour phases, improving coverage inside tight grape clusters and on all green tissues. 
• Works best as a preventative, though it can interfere with lesion growth and sporulation. 

Usage & Recommendations

• Apply preventively or at first signs of powdery mildew pressure.
• Include Vivando® in a broader fungicide program to manage resistance. 
• Can be tank‑mixed with compatible products or used with non‑phytotoxic adjuvants.
• Follow specific crop‑label directions for application rates and intervals. 

⚠️ Always read and follow the product label instructions and safety guidelines for your region.
