Key Features & Benefits

• Systemic Action: Moves through plant tissues, protecting both existing and new leaves from infection.
• Unique Mode of Action: Inhibits sterol (ergosterol) biosynthesis, disrupting fungal cell wall formation.
• Anti-Sporulation Effect: Prevents fungal reproduction, reducing the spread of disease to neighboring plants.
• Effective Against Oomycete Fungi: Targets water mold pathogens such as Phytophthora and Peronospora species.
• Wide Crop Compatibility: Suitable for grapes, potatoes, tomatoes, and other vegetables prone to fungal attacks.
• Prevents Re-Infection: Provides residual protection by preventing new fungal spores from establishing infection.

Mode of Action

Dimethomorph is a systemic fungicide that interferes with cell wall formation in fungi belonging to the Oomycete group. It disrupts sterol synthesis (ergosterol inhibition) and impairs cell wall structure, leading to the collapse of fungal cells. Additionally, its anti-sporulation activity prevents the release of new spores, stopping disease spread and ensuring long-term crop protection.

Dosage & Application Method

• Dosage: 1–1.5 grams per litre of water (based on disease intensity).
• Application Type: Foliar spray using a knapsack or power sprayer.
• Spray Interval: Repeat every 10–12 days depending on disease pressure.
• Timing: Apply at the early signs of infection or as a preventive spray during humid conditions.
• Compatibility: Can be used with most fungicides and insecticides, but perform a jar test before mixing.
