Azotrix is a systemic, broad-spectrum fungicide by Crystal Crop Protection Limited designed primarily to manage fungal diseases like blast and sheath blight in paddy (rice) crops.
Core Technical Details
- Active Ingredients: Azoxystrobin 16.7% + Tricyclazole 33.3% SC (Suspension Concentrate).
- Chemical Group: Azoxystrobin is a strobilurin (QoI inhibitor), while Tricyclazole belongs to the triazole group.
How It Works (Mode of Action)
- Azoxystrobin: Disrupts fungal respiration by blocking the electron transport chain, starving the fungus and preventing spore germination.
- Tricyclazole: Blocks melanin synthesis in the fungus, preventing the pathogen from forming infection structures.
- Together, they offer both strong preventive and curative properties.
Target Crops & Diseases
- Primary Crop: Paddy / Rice.
- Target Pests: Brown leaf spot, neck blast, and sheath blight.
Dosage & Application
- Recommended Dose: 200 ml per acre (or roughly 1 ml per liter of water for a 15-litre knapsack sprayer).
- Application Timing: Recommended at the early appearance of disease symptoms for spore prevention.
- Method: Foliar spray only. It features a rainfast formula that ensures control even during wet weather.
Benefits
- Leads to healthier crop growth and improved grain/seed quality by preventing black spots.
- Increases overall yield and minimizes continuous, multiple applications due to long-lasting systemic action.
