Description
Propiconazole 25% EC is a systemic fungicide used in agriculture to control a wide range of fungal diseases, particularly rusts, blights, and leaf spots, in crops like wheat, rice, groundnuts, and tea. It is an ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor that acts both protectively and curatively, is rapidly absorbed by leaves and stems, and offers long-lasting control. The “EC” stands for Emulsifiable Concentrate, a formulation that is mixed with water for application.
How it works:
-
Systemic Action:The fungicide is absorbed by the plant’s leaves and stems and moves throughout the plant, protecting it from within.
-
Ergosterol Biosynthesis Inhibition:It targets and inhibits the production of ergosterol, a crucial component of fungal cell membranes, thus disrupting their growth and function.
-
Protective and Curative:It can prevent new infections from occurring and also stop existing fungal growth and spread.
Common uses and target diseases:
- Crops: Commonly used on wheat, rice (paddy), groundnut, tea, and soybean.
- Diseases: Effectively controls diseases such as:
- Rusts (Brown Rust, Yellow Rust, Leaf Rust)
- Blights (Sheath Blight)
- Leaf Spots (Tikka disease)
- Karnal Bunt in wheat
