Active ingredients and mode of action
The dual systemic chemistries in Shaked act as sterol demethylation inhibitors (DMI fungicides, FRAC Group 3). By disrupting the C-14 demethylation step in fungal ergosterol biosynthesis, the formulation weakens fungal cell walls, arrests hyphal elongation, and prevents spore germination.
- Dual sterol biosynthesis inhibitor: Delivers robust protective, curative, and eradicative activity.
- Translaminar penetration: Penetrates foliage quickly to protect non-sprayed leaf surfaces.
- Broad target spectrum: Controls ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, and deuteromycetes pathogens.
Target diseases in agricultural crops
- Soybean and pulses: Anthracnose, pod blight, and rust diseases.
- Paddy (rice): Sheath blight, stem rot, and glume discoloration.
- Horticultural crops: Powdery mildew, purple blotch, and leaf spot complexes.
Application safety and label directions
Apply at the earliest sign of disease outbreak using recommended water volume for thorough leaf coverage. Wear full protective gear including nitrile gloves and face masks. Adhere strictly to CIBRC approved label dosages, and respect recommended pre-harvest intervals before picking produce.

Common questions
What chemical class does Shaked fungicide belong to?
It belongs to the sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI) class, disrupting fungal ergosterol biosynthesis.
Can Shaked fungicide be used curatively?
Yes, its systemic movement provides curative action against newly developing fungal infections within leaf tissues.
Why is proper water volume important when applying fungicides?
Adequate water volume ensures complete, uniform spray coverage across crop canopies, preventing untreated infection pockets.
