BRAVO® Weather Stik® is a broad-spectrum fungicide for the control of fungal diseases in a range of crops. Examples include ring spot and downy mildew in brassicas, late and early blight in potatoes.

This Group M5 Fungicide contains 720 g/L chlorothalonil in a suspension concentrate formulation.

Paul Hassan, Technical Services Lead at Syngenta, says BRAVO® Weather Stik® is often considered superior to generic chlorothalonil formulations for several reasons.

  1. Advanced Formulation Technology
    BRAVO® Weather Stik® uses the Syngenta proprietary Weather Stik® technology, which enhances the product's ability to adhere to plant surfaces. This improved sticking ability results in better rainfastness compared to some generic formulations.
  2. Consistent Particle Size 
    The manufacturing process for BRAVO® Weather Stik® ensures a more uniform particle size distribution. This ensures the product be applied evenly on plant surfaces and potentially support better disease control.
  3. Quality Control 
    As a branded product from a major agrochemical company, BRAVO® Weather Stik® undergoes rigorous quality control measures. This can result in more consistent formulation quality across batches compared to some generic alternatives.
  4. Proven Track Record 
    BRAVO® Weather Stik® has been extensively tested and used in the field for many years, building a reputation for reliability. Growers trust its performance based on long-term experience.
  5. Research and Development
    Syngenta globally invests heavily in R&D, which may lead to ongoing improvements in the formulation over time.
