Key Uses:
- Early and Late Blight Control: Primarily used to manage early and late blight diseases, which are common fungal infections in tomato crops.
- Broad-Spectrum Protection: The combination of azoxystrobin (a strobilurin fungicide) and mancozeb (a dithiocarbamate fungicide) provides a wide range of fungal disease control.
- Systemic and Contact Action: Azoxystrobin is systemic, meaning it's absorbed by the plant and moves through its tissues, while mancozeb provides a protective layer on the plant's surface.
- Micronutrient Supplementation: It provides manganese and zinc, which are essential micronutrients for plant health and growth.
Mode of Action:
- Inhibits Spore Germination: The fungicide interferes with the germination of fungal spores, preventing them from establishing on the plant.
- Inhibits Mycelial Growth: It also disrupts the growth of the fungal threads (hyphae), further limiting the spread of the disease.
- Prevents Spore Production: It can also stop the production of new fungal spores, reducing the potential for further infection.
Application:
- Foliar Spray: It's typically applied as a foliar spray, meaning it's sprayed onto the leaves of the plants.
- Preventive and Curative: It can be used both preventatively (before disease appears) and curatively (to treat existing infections).
- Early Application: For best results, it should be applied at the first sign of disease or as a preventative measure.
Important Considerations:
- Crop Specific: It's important to use this fungicide only on crops where it's recommended to avoid potential harm or negative effects.
- Resistance Management: While it has broad-spectrum activity, it's important to be aware of potential resistance development and follow recommended application guidelines.
- Safety Precautions: Always follow the manufacturer's instructions for safe handling and application.
