MIRAVIS ADEPIDYN technology Fungicide is a broad-spectrum Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation containing 200 g/L of the active constituent pydiflumetofen. It is engineered to provide strong preventative activity against key fungal pathogens by binding rapidly to the epicuticular wax layer of the target plant tissue, forming a persistent protection zone on leaves and fruit.
Across Australian cropping regions and viticultural districts—from the Yarra Valley and Barossa to Sunraysia and the Hunter Valley—maintaining clean foliage and sound disease control is critical to safeguarding yield and quality. Integrating this product into early-to-mid season spray diaries allows growers to protect susceptible blocks before fungal infection establishes.
Agronomists and growers should always consult the registered product label for specific crop registrations, timing windows, and regional directions for use tailored to their specific paddock conditions.

Withholding period
Harvest Canola, Grapes: NOT REQUIRED WHEN USED AS DIRECTED Potatoes: DO NOT HARVEST FOR 7 DAYS AFTER APPLICATION Grazing Canola: DO NOT GRAZE TREATED CROPS OR CUT FOR STOCKFOOD FOR 6 WEEKS AFTER APPLICATION Crops treated with MIRAVIS? may contain finite (measurable) residues of pydiflumetofen and may pose a risk to trade in situations where no residue tolerance (import tolerance) is established in the importing country or where residues in Australian commodities are likely to exceed a residue tolerance (import tolerance) established in the importing country. Before you use this product, you are advised to contact Syngenta and/or your industry body about any potential trade issues and their management.
When used according to label directions, no harvest withholding period is required for canola or grapes. Potatoes carry a 7-day harvest withholding period. For canola, do not graze treated crops or cut for stockfood for 6 weeks after application. Note that treated commodities may contain measurable residues of pydiflumetofen; growers targeting export markets should consult Syngenta or their industry body regarding destination country import tolerances prior to application.
Mode of action
Pydiflumetofen belongs to the Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor (SDHI) group of fungicides (FRAC Group 7). It acts by inhibiting Complex II (succinate dehydrogenase) within the fungal mitochondrial respiratory chain. This starves the pathogen of cellular energy, halting spore germination, germ tube elongation, and mycelial growth before the fungus can successfully establish within host tissues.
Resistance management
Fungal pathogens can develop resistance to Group 7 fungicides if exposed to continuous selection pressure. To manage resistance risk, strictly adhere to CropLife Australia resistance management strategies. Alternate or tank-mix this product with registered fungicides from different mode-of-action groups (non-Group 7). Avoid consecutive applications of SDHI chemistries unless permitted by label instructions and crop-specific resistance guidelines, and ensure thorough coverage across the crop canopy.
Tank-mix compatibility
Physical compatibility and crop safety can vary depending on water quality, tank-mix partners, and ambient weather at application. Exercise caution when considering combinations with petroleum oils or during periods of heat and plant stress, as foliage or fruit injury may occur. Always conduct a physical jar test prior to large-scale tank mixing, and consult the approved product label for mixing sequences and partner restrictions.
Handling and environment
Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as specified on the registered pack label, including chemical-resistant gloves and protective eyewear during mixing and loading. Avoid contamination of waterways and non-target vegetation. Refer directly to the approved label for comprehensive safety directions, environmental warnings, and re-entry considerations before accessing treated blocks.
Common questions
- How should I plan my spray program to manage Group 7 resistance?
- Rotate this product with registered fungicides belonging to different chemical groups (such as DMIs, QoIs, or multi-site protectants). Avoid consecutive applications of SDHI (Group 7) fungicides unless explicitly supported by CropLife guidelines and the approved label.
- What should export-focused growers check regarding residues?
- Because pydiflumetofen leaves finite residues, export destinations may enforce distinct Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) or import tolerances. Check with your exporter, industry body, or Syngenta prior to spraying to ensure compliance with relevant international trade standards.
- How does ADEPIDYN technology handle rainfall after application?
- The active constituent pydiflumetofen adheres strongly to the plant wax layer shortly after spray application. Once the spray deposit has completely dried on the foliage, it offers excellent rainfastness and persistent preventative cover.
- Can I mix this product with crop oils or adjuvants?
- Mixing with oils or certain surfactants can increase the risk of phytotoxicity, particularly on tender foliage or during high-temperature conditions. Always consult the label and perform a jar test before combining products in the spray tank.
- Where do I find specific application rates and water volumes?
- All application rates, water volumes, equipment settings, and specific crop timing instructions are detailed on the official APVMA-approved label booklet supplied on the product container.
