BASF Acrobat Fungicide – Powerful Protection Against Downy Mildew & Late Blight
Crop diseases don’t give second chances — especially Downy Mildew and Late Blight. That’s why experienced farmers trust BASF Acrobat, a next-gen fungicide powered by Dimethomorph 50% WP. Whether it’s grapes or potatoes, Acrobat delivers full-spectrum control from the inside out — targeting the fungus at every stage of development.
Real Performance, Backed by Science
Developed by BASF’s advanced research, Acrobat doesn’t just stop visible symptoms — it goes deeper. Its unique cell wall lysis action ruptures fungal cells and prevents new spores from forming. The result? Cleaner leaves, stronger crops, and a visible drop in disease pressure — even in high-risk weather conditions.
What Makes Acrobat Unique?
- Active Ingredient: Dimethomorph – a systemic morpholine fungicide with proven efficacy
- Mode of Action: Breaks fungal cell walls + stops ergosterol synthesis + translaminar reach
- Anti-Sporulant: Stops fungal spread by suppressing new spore development
- Long-Lasting Protection: Works at preventive stage and keeps crops safe even post-infection
- Rainfast & Reliable: Systemic action ensures performance even in unpredictable conditions

FAQs – Get the Most Out of Acrobat
- Q1. Is Acrobat suitable for curative or only preventive use?
- It works best as a preventive spray but also shows efficacy in early-stage infections due to its systemic action.

- Yes, it is compatible with most products. However, always do a jar test before mixing.
- Q3. What makes it different from contact fungicides?
- Contact fungicides protect only the sprayed surface. Acrobat enters the plant, giving protection even after light rains or missed areas.
- Q4. How many sprays are needed in one season?
- 2–3 sprays per season depending on crop and climate are usually enough when applied at correct intervals.
- Q5. Is Acrobat safe for export-oriented crops like grapes?
- Yes, Acrobat is widely used in export grape fields. Just follow the PHI (Pre-Harvest Interval) guidelines strictly.
