ZAMPRO Fungicide
technology sheet
Ametoctradin (Group 45), a unique mode of action that
disrupts energy production within the mitochondria of
fungal cells. Ametoctradin rapidly and tightly binds to
the plants’ waxy cuticle, giving rapidly rainfast protection.
Dimethomorph (Group 40) controls disease by rupturing
fungal cell walls.
Why choosing ZAMPRO makes sense
ZAMPRO’s two modes of action combine to form a
powerful fungicide with systemic, translaminar,
preventative and anti-sporulant control of Downy mildew
and Late blight in key horticultural crops.
ZAMPRO:
New, Dual Mode of Action.
Recharges with moisture.
Liquid formulation for easy handling.

How ZAMPRO works
ZAMPRO is comprised of two distinct active ingredients,
each attacking disease with a different mode of action.
Ametoctradin (Group 45)
inhibits the respiration in
the mitochondria
Dimethomorph (Group 40 )
interrupts the lipid and
membrane synthesis and
cell wall deposition.
Ametoctradin, one of ZAMPRO’s active ingredients, is rapidly and
tightly absorbed and bound to the waxy cuticle of plants.
(Magnification: 3.0 µm).
When to apply ZAMPRO
ZAMPRO should be applied preventatively for best
results. Its anti-sporulant activity allows ZAMPRO to
stop the spread of disease hot spots in the field or
vineyard.
Apply ZAMPRO on a 5-10 day interval depending on
the crop (See label for crop-specific directions).
- Under high downy mildew or late blight pressure,
use a shorter spray interval.
Apply a maximum of two sequential applications of
ZAMPRO then rotate to Non-Group 40 or 45 products
with alternate modes of action.

ZAMPRO recharges with moisture
ZAMPRO redistributes under the influence of moisture,
e.g. dew. Proof of this was shown in greenhouse trials
with grape plants that were treated with ZAMPRO and the
plants were divided into control and plants incubated in a
climate chamber to condensing conditions (100% r.h.) at
the end of the night for 4 h (the plant leaves were wet
during this period). This exposure was repeated for three
cycles (=days) and the results compared with the control
plant without moisture exposure. After 3 cycles, the
ZAMPRO-covered area increased by 50%.
Working with ZAMPRO
ZAMPRO’s liquid formulation is great to work with. It
rinses easily from the jug, quickly goes into solution and
stays in suspension.
