Azodharma Fungicide Technical Name
Azoxystrobin 18.2% + Difenoconazole 11.4% SC
Product Specifications
Mode of Entry: Dual systemic, translaminar action
Mode of Action: Azodharma combines two active ingredients with complementary modes of action. Azoxystrobin inhibits spore germination during the early stage of fungal development, helping protect the crop from fungal invasion. Difenoconazole acts on fungal pathogens during penetration and haustoria formation. It interferes with sterol biosynthesis in the fungal cell membrane and stops further fungal development. The product shows translaminar and acropetal movement, which helps distribute it within the treated plant.
Time of Application: Apply Azodharma preventively or during the early stages of fungal disease development. It also provides curative action against established infection when used according to the crop recommendation.
Key Features and Benefits
• Broad spectrum disease control: Azodharma controls several labelled fungal diseases, including anthracnose, powdery mildew, blast, sheath blight, early blight, late blight, rust, leaf spots, downy mildew and rot.
• Dual systemic action: The combination of Azoxystrobin and Difenoconazole provides internal disease control through two complementary fungicidal actions.
• Protective and curative activity: It helps protect crops from fungal invasion and acts on fungal infection during disease development.
• Longer duration of disease control: Its dual mode of action gives longer duration control against fungal diseases.
• Rapid and even movement: Translaminar, xylem systemic and acropetal movement support quicker and more even distribution within the plant.
• Supports crop performance: Azodharma improves crop health, quality and yield and supports healthy crop growth and photosynthesis.
• Useful for resistance management: Its combination of two advanced fungicidal chemistries makes it suitable for resistance management programmes.
