Infinito Fungicide Technical Name
Fluopicolide 5.56% w/w + Propamocarb Hydrochloride 55.6% w/w SC
Product Specifications
Mode of Entry: Systemic and translaminar action
Mode of Action: Infinito combines Fluopicolide and Propamocarb Hydrochloride to provide protective and curative disease control. Fluopicolide acts on pathogen cell structure and disrupts the formation of spectrin like proteins in the fungus. Propamocarb Hydrochloride provides systemic activity by limiting mycelial growth and reproductive structures such as spores, while influencing membrane synthesis. The combination provides built-in resistance management and helps control diseases caused by oomycete fungal pathogens.
Time of Application: Apply Infinito when disease symptoms first appear on the crop.

Method of Application
- Foliar Spray: Apply Infinito as a foliar spray using the crop specific dose and water volume given in the dosage table. Prepare the spray solution by adding the recommended quantity of Infinito to water and mix thoroughly before application. Ensure uniform coverage of the crop canopy. Use suitable spraying equipment such as a knapsack sprayer fitted with a hollow cone nozzle.
- Drone Application: For potato late blight management through drone application, apply the recommended formulation quantity with suitable water volume given in the dosage table. Ensure uniform spray coverage over the crop. The buffer zone for the Drone is 5 meters across the perimeter of the field.
Give 1st spray as soon as the signs of diseases are noticed on the leaves and subsequent one or two sprays at 10–15 days interval depending on the disease severity.
Best Time to Spray
For better disease management, apply before severe disease development. Spray preferably during morning or evening hours and avoid application during extreme weather conditions.
