Cinerate is a broad-spectrum acaricide, fungicide and insecticide of botanical origin that has a powerful shock effect for controlling pests and diseases that attack vegetable crops, Cucurbitaceae, berries, citrus fruits or avocados, amongst others. Cinerate is a fast-acting product which gets good control at low concentrations. It is a product compatible with biological control agents.

Used as fungicide, Cinerate provides curative action: Cinnamic aldehyde inhibits mycelial growth and prevents germination of fruiting bodies. The result is the erradication of fungus, preventing its spread.

By its eradicant action, Cinerate affects the mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and induces profound changes in the enzymatic activity of the pathogen’s cell membrane, which causes dehydration and, therefore, the disappearance of leaf symptoms.

Used as insecticide and acaricide, Cinerate acts by contact penetrating and destroying the soft susceptible body parts. Insects and mites are exposed to the loss of body fluids causing a dehydration and consequently the death. It is an alternative to mineral oils and chemical acaricides.
