Uses and Mode of Action
- Target Disease: It is most effective against rice blast, a destructive fungal disease affecting rice plants.
- Mode of Action: Tricyclazole works by inhibiting melanin biosynthesis in the fungi. Melanin is crucial for the fungus's ability to penetrate and establish itself in the plant tissue. By blocking this process, Tricyclazole prevents the fungus from causing infection and spreading.
Benefits
- Systemic Action: It is absorbed by the plant and moves through the xylem to reach all parts of the plant, providing protection to the entire crop.
- Long-lasting Protection: The fungicide provides residual protection, preventing blast disease for over two weeks.
- Rain-Fastness: Tricyclazole is rain-fast, meaning it is not easily washed off by rain and can be applied even when rain is expected.
- Improved Yield and Quality: By controlling the disease, it leads to better crop health, resulting in improved grain yield and higher quality, heavier, and shinier grains.
