ACAPELA SYSTEM 280 SC – Corteva Agriscience | Dual-Action Systemic Fungicide for Rice & Wheat Disease Control

Advanced Dual-Action Fungicide for Superior Protection of Rice & Wheat

Fungal diseases are among the leading causes of yield loss in rice and wheat. Diseases such as rice blast, sheath blight, brown leaf spot, dirty panicle, and wheat rusts can severely reduce crop productivity, grain quality, and farm profitability if not controlled promptly. ACAPELA SYSTEM 280 SC from Corteva Agriscience is an advanced systemic fungicide powered by Onmira Active Technology. It combines Picoxystrobin 17.94% and Cyproconazole 7.17% to provide broad-spectrum preventive, curative, and systemic protection against major fungal diseases in rice and wheat. Its dual mode of action delivers rapid disease suppression, long-lasting protection, healthier foliage, and improved grain yield while supporting fungicide resistance management.

Active Ingredients

What is ACAPELA SYSTEM 280 SC?

ACAPELA SYSTEM 280 SC is a premium systemic fungicide designed to protect rice and wheat from economically important fungal diseases. By combining a strobilurin fungicide with a triazole fungicide, it offers both preventive and curative disease control while protecting new plant growth throughout the crop cycle.

Key Features

Dual-Action Fungicide

Combines two powerful fungicides with complementary modes of action for comprehensive disease management.

Preventive & Curative Protection

Controls diseases before infection and stops disease development after infection has begun.

Rapid Systemic Movement

Quickly penetrates plant tissues and moves systemically to protect both treated and newly emerging leaves.

Long-Lasting Disease Control

Provides extended residual protection, reducing disease pressure throughout critical crop growth stages.

Healthier Crop Growth

Protects leaves, stems, and reproductive structures, allowing crops to maintain higher photosynthetic activity.

Resistance Management

The combination of two fungicide groups helps delay the development of resistant pathogen populations when used according to resistance management guidelines.

Benefits

Using ACAPELA SYSTEM 280 SC helps:

• Control major fungal diseases
• Protect crops during critical growth stages
• Reduce disease spread
• Maintain healthy green foliage
• Improve photosynthesis
• Protect grain formation
• Improve grain quality
• Increase yield potential
• Provide long-lasting disease protection
• Support fungicide resistance management

Mode of Action

ACAPELA SYSTEM combines two complementary active ingredients:

Picoxystrobin (Strobilurin Group)

• Prevents fungal spore germination
• Inhibits fungal respiration
• Provides strong preventive protection
• Protects healthy plant tissues

Cyproconazole (Triazole Group)

• Inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in fungal cell membranes
• Stops fungal growth after infection
• Delivers curative and systemic activity
• Protects developing plant tissues

Together, these active ingredients provide rapid disease suppression, extended residual control, and improved crop health.
