How it Works
- Powered by the active ingredient Xemium®, Sercadis creates rainfast reservoirs on leaf surfaces that continuously distribute its unique chemistry throughout the leaf.
- Extremely systemic, Sercadis protects the plant from key diseases as it grows.
- Sercadis controls disease by disrupting fungal cells’ ability to produce energy.
