About Root Rot Control Products
Root rot is a soil-borne fungal disease that attacks the roots and collar region of plants. It affects crops such as groundnut, soybean, chickpea, pigeon pea, cotton and many vegetables. It is caused by soil fungi such as Rhizoctonia, Fusarium, Pythium and Macrophomina, which survive in soil and crop residue for long periods. Infected roots turn brown or black, rot and lose their ability to take up water and nutrients, which leads to yellowing, wilting, patchy stands and plant death. Root rot control products protect seeds and young roots from these fungi, mainly through seed treatment and soil drenching.

Usage Tips for Root Rot Control Products
- Treat seeds before sowing at the label dose, which is generally 2.5–3 g per kg of seed.
- Mix the fungicide with a little water to make a slurry, coat the seeds evenly and dry them in shade before sowing.
- For standing crops, drench the root zone of affected plants at the label dose.
- Avoid waterlogging and improve field drainage, since excess moisture favours root rot.
- Follow crop rotation with non-host crops to reduce soil-borne fungi.
- Remove and destroy infected plants and crop residue.
- Wear gloves while treating seeds and don't use treated seeds as food or feed.
Types of Root Rot Control Products and What They Do?
-
Contact fungicides: Form a protective layer on the seed or root surface that kills fungal spores before they infect, giving early protection in the soil.
-
Systemic fungicides: Are absorbed by the germinating seed and young roots and move inside the plant, protecting it from infection during the seedling stage.
