Nativo® by Bayer is a high-performance combination fungicide that integrates two powerful active ingredients: Tebuconazole (DMI – FRAC Group 3) and Trifloxystrobin (Strobilurin – FRAC Group 11). This dual-mode formulation provides broad-spectrum disease control across cereals, fruits, vegetables, and commercial crops.

It exhibits mesostemic behavior, allowing rapid penetration into plant tissues and redistribution within leaves, ensuring uniform internal and surface protection. Nativo® controls fungal diseases at multiple stages—spore germination, mycelial growth, and reproduction—making it a reliable resistance management tool.
