Fungicides for disease control

Safe, effective use

If your fruit or vegetable crop has a fungal or bacterial disease, the team at Fruitfed Supplies can help you identify the correct fungicide to use for safe and effective control. Our field and branch representatives receive ongoing training regarding responsible product use and market guidelines. However you should also check product use with your exporter, where applicable.

Fruitfed Supplies stocks a comprehensive range of fungicides for all kinds of crops – pipfruit, grapes, vegetables, etc. The following list details just the fungicides distributed exclusively by Fruitfed Supplies; many more fungicide options are available in-store. See our branch location page for contact details.
 

Fungicides can either be contact or systemic. A contact fungicide kills fungi when sprayed on its surface; a systemic fungicide has to be absorbed by the plant.  Interesting links include: Fungicide Resistance Action Committee – www.frac.info and New Zealand Plant Protection Society - www.nzpps.org
