TRUSTED BY MANY OF ITALY’S TOP VINEYARDS FOR BUNCH ROT AND POWDERY MILDEW*. NOW AVAILABLE IN CALIFORNIA
Active ingredients: Thymol, Geraniol, Eugenol
FRAC code: BM01
There’s a good reason why so many Italian growers choose Mevalone® Fungicide to control bunch rot (Botrytis cinerea) and powdery mildew*. It’s the unique way Mevalone works. Patented terpene-microencapsulation technology allows Mevalone to perform like harsher chemistries on bunch rot even though it is a naturally derived compound, giving you complete application flexibility up to three days before harvest. Years of documented success across Europe and recently several states in the US, prove that Mevalone works, and now it’s approved for use in California.

MICROENCAPSULATED TERPENE TECHNOLOGY (Video)
- Mevalone® uses proprietary Sustaine® technology developed by Eden Research. This technology microencapsulates the terpenes and enables controlled release upon hydration.
- The capsule is not eroded during the release process. Terpenes exit via pores which open upon hydration.
- The pores close when the capsule experiences osmotic stress/dehydration. As a result, the terpenes remain at the crop canopy, prolonging their antifungal activity across multiple rehydration/rain events, the most high-risk periods for fungal infection.
- Sustaine technology is a major development in phased-release products, as it avoids any intentional plastic or polymer pollution in agriculture.
