CHAPERONE is a highly concentrated fungicide activator with Performance Enhancer Technology and proven efficacy in activation of and residual control of contact, systemic, and translaminar fungicides.
CHAPERONE is designed to enhance the performance and efficacy of fungicides and help increase the percentage of diseases controlled, driven by the below properties:
1) Non-ionic Surfactant: Carbohydrate-based with excellent humectant-adherent-sticking properties that reduce the surface tension of the spray droplets. These properties promote greater surface contact on the leaves to get improved coverage of fungicide spray droplets as well as increased absorption and translocation of fungicide once they reach the cell membrane of the fungi.
2) Penetrant: Modifies the waxy cell wall of fungi, ensuring faster and more efficient penetration of fungicides through the intercellular walls of fungi. This allows a selective response to diseases without causing damage to the crop’s leaf.
3) Permeabilizer: Reacts with the sodium and calcium ions of the cell membrane of fungi, destabilizing and puncturing it, leaving points of entry for the fungicide.
