- Systemic Action: It is absorbed by the plant and moves within its system, offering protection throughout the plant.
- Melanin Inhibition: The fungus normally forms a rigid appressorial wall to infect the plant, a process that requires melanin. Tricyclazole stops this process by inhibiting melanin synthesis, which makes the appressorial wall weak and unable to penetrate the plant.
- Protective Action: It acts as a protective agent, preventing the disease from entering the rice plant and stopping its further development.
Uses in Rice
- Blast Control: It is the most widely accepted fungicide for blast control, effectively managing both leaf blast and neck blast.
- Foliar Spray: It is commonly applied as a foliar spray to protect the crop from infection at different growth stages.
- Seed Treatment: Tricyclazole can also be used as a seed treatment to protect young seedlings from early infections.
Benefits
- Increases Yield: By effectively controlling blast, it helps reduce yield losses and increases crop quality.
- Promotes Healthy Growth: It contributes to the overall healthy growth of the rice crop.
- Rainfastness: It is not easily washed off by rain after absorption, and rainfall can even increase its uptake by the plant.
