Arysta LifeScience - Evito

The longer-lasting fungicide

EVITO® Fungicide is an advanced, highly systemic strobilurin that gets into the plant fast and delivers long-lasting and reliable disease protection.
EVITO is unique in that it protects the plant from disease infection through rapid update from the leaves, stems and roots. Superior leaf penetration and xylem mobility means EVITO is effectively distributed throughout the plant for effective disease control. And with residual soil activity, rain or irrigation will give EVITO a second boost for even longer-lasting disease protection. >> Learn more...
