Powdery mildew is one of the most challenging fungal diseases for vineyards. Caused by the fungus Erysiphe necator<\/em>, this pathogen develops in warm and dry conditions, mainly affecting vine leaves, bunches and shoots. If not properly controlled, powdery mildew can seriously compromise the quality and quantity of the harvest, as it disrupts the photosynthesis process and affects the growth of the bunches.<\/p>

Symptoms of powdery mildew on grapevines<\/strong><\/h2>


Detecting powdery mildew early is crucial to avoid severe damage. Symptoms include:<\/p>

  • If action is not taken quickly, the plants may lose their ability to photosynthesise and become noticeably weaker.<\/li>
  • Presence of white or grey powder on leaves and shoots, especially on the underside.<\/li>
  • Infected leaves start to dry out, become deformed and turn yellow.<\/li>
  • The bunches of grapes become covered with a white powder, which interrupts their development and ripening.<\/li><\/ul>

    How to Control Powdery Mildew Effectively?<\/strong><\/h2>

    BELVINE, an innovative biofungicide, is the sustainable answer to combat powdery mildew effectively. Its advanced formulation is able to stop the spread of the fungus without harming the environment or affecting plant health.<\/p>

    Why is BELVINE a unique solution for powdery mildew control? Here we explain:<\/p>

    • BELVINE uses ABE-IT 56, a biotechnological active ingredient derived from the yeast S. cerevisiae, which reinforces the plant’s natural defences against powdery mildew.<\/li>
    • Its action is based on three mechanisms: physical barrier that strengthens cell walls, systemic action that stimulates internal defences, and biochemical defence that directly combats the fungus.<\/li>
    • Compatible with integrated pest management (IPM), it reduces the use of traditional fungicides.<\/li>
    • Advanced liquid formulation ensures uniform application.<\/li>
    • Certified by ECOCERT for organic agriculture, ideal for organic vineyards.<\/li>
    • It has phytosanitary registration in Spain (ES-01430) and Portugal (1933).<\/li><\/ul>
      \u00a0<\/div>

      Powdery mildew represents an ongoing risk for grape growers, but with BELVINE, it is possible to combat this disease in an effective and environmentally friendly way. This revolutionary biofungicide represents the future of disease control in vineyards, reducing reliance on chemicals and promoting more sustainable farming practices. It marks a paradigm shift in crop protection, marking a new era in responsible viticulture.<\/p>
