Positioning

IntroductionRanman Top is a strong combination of the active ingredient cyazofamid and an adjuvant. It has a TOP effi cacy against

the potato disease Phytophthora infestans. Ranman Top is formulated as a suspension concentrate (SC) of 160 g/l cyazofamid. Which makes part of the chemical group of cyano-imidazoles. Ranman Top is the best preventive fungicide in the period of fast canopy growth and has an unequalled effi cacy against tuber infection. Ranman Top has a good effi cacy under all circumstances and ensures an excellent rainfastness.

Mode of actionCyazofamid acts on the respiratory system of Phytophthora infestans by blocking the mitochondrial electron transport (energy supply of the pothogen) in the mitochondrial inner membrane. Cyazofamid is the only product on the market to bind at the Qi site (Quinone inside Inhibitor), blocking the reduction of ubiquinone to ubiquinol - Mitochondria Complex III ubiquinone reductase. Ranman Top both acts on the direct and indirect germination of the sporangia. Spores, aff ected by Ranman Top, are not able anymore to cause infection.

Protection of the new growthIn the period of fast canopy growth, it is important that the newly formed leaves and stems are protected optimally. Ranman Top fi ts perfect in this segment. At a high rate of growth and an interval of 7 days, there are only few products capable of protecting the new growth preventively. In European trials, conducted by offi cial institutes, Ranman Top shows the best preventive protection of the new growth. Perfect distribution on the leaf

Ranman Top provides a perfect distribution and takes care that the active compound is

present everywhere.

Top rainfastnessThe short time that Ranman Top needs, is clearly much shorter than comparable fungicides need. Once in the leaf, it is rainfast until 100 mm and even more. So, Ranman Top is EXTREMELY rainfast. This is also important in case of irrigation.

Tuber protectionRanman Top has the reputation of the best protector of the tubers. Recent trials confi rm this experience from practice. Both the sporekilling effi cacy and the effect on the mobility of zoospores explain the tuber protection.

Long residual effect and Rainfastness

Ranman Top can be used during the whole growth seasonand in all weather conditions

Application of a typical contact fungicide

Can be used with small volumes of waterTrial results demonstrate that Ranman Top has the same effi cacy regardless the watervolume (important for large fi elds).
