  • MIDI-Zen® is a plant-derived biological fungicide that provides effective mid-season control of Botrytis cinerea and Powdery Mildew in grapes. Its unique formulation targets both active and latent infections by killing Botrytis spores within the canopy and inhibiting the progression of early-stage disease.

    Formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate, MIDI-Zen® is applied at 15 L/ ha and is based on a refined soya lipid fraction, offering a natural and sustainable alternative to synthetic fungicides. Its antifungal mode of action disrupts spore viability and prevents latent infection establishment, making it an ideal tool in integrated pest management (IPM) strategies.

    MIDI-Zen® is registered for use in grapes, and ongoing trials have shown promising results in roses and tomatoes. It can be used alone or in combination with other products as part of a dual-control approach for powdery mildew.

    MIDI-Zen® is a reliable, residue-free option for growers seeking to reduce chemical inputs without compromising disease control.

  • MIDI-Zen® is presented as a concentrated liquid and is applied at 15L/ha with a water rate of 500 litres per hectare. A season’s programme would include 2–3 applications of MIDI-Zen®.

    Refer to the Best Practice information for application, timing and rates.
