Technical chemical composition and dual action
- Tebuconazole (50%): Demethylation Inhibitor (DMI) triazole (FRAC Group 3) that halts ergosterol synthesis in fungal cell walls; translocates acropetally to protect newly expanding leaves.
- Trifloxystrobin (25%): Quinone outside Inhibitor (QoI) strobilurin (FRAC Group 11) that blocks cellular respiration at Complex III; binds mesostemically to leaf surface wax and redistributes over time.
- Synergistic disease control: Delivers strong preventive protection on plant surfaces while eliminating established mycelial infections internally.
- Water Dispersible Granule (WG): Dissolves completely in water without forming lumps or generating toxic dust during measuring.
CIBRC approved crops and target fungal diseases
Approved in Indian agriculture for controlling Sheath blight, Neck blast, and Dirty panicle disease in rice; Powdery mildew, Anthracnose, and Die-back in chillies; Powdery mildew in mango and grapes; and Early blight in tomato. In rice farming, applying at booting and panicle emergence ensures clean, bold, healthy grains.
Application dosage, timing and safety
- Standard label dosage is typically 80 to 120 grams per acre diluted in 200 liters of water for field crops.
- Apply preventively or at initial disease appearance using a hollow cone nozzle for thorough foliar and panicle coverage.
- Observe the mandatory Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) specified on the container before harvesting edible produce.
- Wear personal protective gear and avoid spraying during high wind conditions.
