Prochloraz 250 g/L EW

ICAMA Reg. No. PD20170473

Product Category:   Fungicides 

A broad-spectrum fungicide offering protective and curative action against various fungal pathogens, ensuring enhanced crop health and yield.

Why Choose Prochloraz 250 g/L EW?

• Inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis, disrupting fungal cell membrane formation.

• Effective against a wide range of fungal diseases across multiple crops.

• Provides both protective and curative actions, ensuring comprehensive disease management.

Key Features:

1.      Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Controls various fungal pathogens, including Colletotrichum musae (causing banana anthracnose) and Fusarium spp. (causing Fusarium wilt).

2.      Dual Action: Offers preventive protection by inhibiting spore germination and curative action by halting pathogen development post-infection.

3.      Systemic Activity: Translocates within plant tissues, ensuring comprehensive protection beyond the application site.

Effective Against:

·         Banana:

• Anthracnose (Colletotrichum musae): Causes black lesions on fruit, leading to post-harvest losses.

·         Cereal Crops (Wheat, Barley):

• Fusarium Head Blight (Fusarium spp.): Leads to kernel discoloration and mycotoxin contamination.

·         Vegetables (Tomato, Cucumber):

• Gray Mold (Botrytis cinerea): Results in soft rot of fruits and foliage.

• Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe spp.): Manifests as white powdery spots on leaves, affecting photosynthesis.

Registered Scope and Method of Use

Note: Harvest bananas at approximately 80% maturity. On the day of harvest, dip fruits in the prepared solution for 1–2 minutes, then allow them to air dry. Ensure a minimum interval of 7 days between treatment and market release. Limit to one application per crop cycle.

Technical Application Requirements:

1.      Timing & Frequency: Apply at the first sign of disease or as a preventive measure in environments conducive to fungal development. Adhere to recommended application intervals and avoid exceeding the maximum number of applications per season to prevent potential resistance development.

2.      Application Technique: Utilize appropriate spraying equipment to ensure even coverage of plant surfaces. For post-harvest treatments, ensure thorough contact of the solution with the fruit surface.

3.      Environmental Considerations: Avoid application during periods of heavy rainfall or when rain is anticipated shortly after treatment to prevent runoff and ensure efficacy. Implement measures to prevent contamination of water bodies, considering the potential aquatic toxicity of prochloraz.

4.      Resistance Management: Integrate Prochloraz 250 g/L EW into a broader disease management strategy that includes crop rotation, use of resistant varieties, and alternation with fungicides possessing different modes of action to mitigate the risk of resistance development.
