SERENADE MAX – – – THE BIO-FUNDGICIDE FOR PLANT

Overview:

Serenade^® MAX is a bio-fungicide to aid in the suppression of early blight in potatoes and powdery mildew, botrytis and bacterial diseases in many fruit and vegetable crops including bulb vegetables (Crop Group 3), leafy vegetables (Crop Group 4), cole crops (Crop Group 5), cucurbit vegetables (Crop Group 9), fruiting vegetables (Crop Group 8) and bushberries and caneberries (Crop Group 13).

Active Ingredients:

QST 713 strain of Bacillus subtilis.

Resistance Management:

Serenade MAX has a unique mode of action and fungicide group (Group 44), which makes it very difficult for diseases to develop resistance.

Serenade MAX can help with resistance issues by preventing diseases from developing ways to combat single site synthetic products.

Serenade MAX works best when used in a program approach with other chemistries throughout the growing season to decrease the chance of resistance for all products on that particular crop.

Pests Supressed

Apple scab
Bacteria blight
Botrytis grey mould
Botrytis leaf blight
Botrytis pod rot
Brown rot
Downy mildew
Early blight
Fire blight
Frog eye leaf spot
Leaf spot
Mummy berry
Pin rot
Pink rot
Powdery mildew
Sclerotinia stem rot
Sclerotinia white mould
Sour rot
White rust

Serenade Max is a broad spectrum fungicide and bactericide based on Bacillus Subtilis strain QST 713.

Fungicidal and antibacterial action is mainly due to lipopeptides that are only synthesized by this strain. They act directly on the pathogen cell wall.

As Serenade Max acts in contact, primarily by destroying the cell membrane of the pathogens without affecting their metabolism, minimizes the risk of developing resistance – whether on their own or in integrated disease control programs.

Serenade Max has two main levels of action:

• fungicidal activity against pathogens such as Botrytis, brown rot, scabies and sclerotia (stem rot)

• bactericidal effect against bacteria such as Erwinia

At the same time, it has been shown that Bacillus Subtilis activates the plant’s natural defense mechanisms and improves growth that has a positive effect on the crop.

The natural origin of Serenade®Max provides a number of features that are beneficial for the consumer, crops and the environment, such as:

• fitness for use in organic farming

• lack of technological waste

• a short quarantine period

• No toxicity and risk phrases (R) on the product label

• Excellent compatibility with useful insects.

In addition, Serenade Max is very flexible to use and can be combined with most fungicides (including sulfur and copper), insecticides, fertilizers and binders.
