Your early season alternative for powdery mildew
February 7, 2023
What is Aprovia®?
Aprovia® fungicide is your pre-bloom solution for powdery mildew in grapes.
Aprovia® is formulated with potent Solatenol® technology that:
- Spreads by translaminar movement to provide long-lasting control (see what translaminar movement means)
- Is highly intrinsic, meaning it provides more protection at lower rates compared to other Group 7 technology
- Provides excellent preventative protection, from the inside out
- Has no activity on Botrytis, so you should always use Aprovia® early with a non-Group 7 fungicide like Switch® as your first Botrytis spray
Apply Aprovia® at 0.5 to 0.75 mL/ha, using the higher rate when conditions are more conducive to disease.
Alternatively, Solatenol® technology is also available in a mix with difenoconazole, a proven powdery mildew partner, as Aprovia® Top fungicide. Difenoconazole is a popular Group 3 product globally, even amidst European evaluations.
Apply Aprovia® Top at 0.643 L/ha on your grapes.

Where does it fit?
Both Aprovia
® and Aprovia
® Top are best applied early in the season during shoot development and elongation to protect leaves closest to the bunches. Aprovia
® and Aprovia
® Top are excellent alternatives to sulfur or a solo Group 3 chemistry on powdery mildew.

For more information on how to use Aprovia® or Aprovia® Top as part of your grape powdery mildew program, reach out to your local retail partner or Syngenta horticulture specialist.
