DALU Fungicide-Pyraclostrobin 5% + Metiram 55% WDG

Product Introduction

DALU Pyraclostrobin 5% + Metiram 55% WDG is a highly effective, broad-spectrum, systemic pesticide fungicide with protective properties. It is formulated as a wettable water-dispersible granule (WDG) and has good dispersibility and adhesion, making it suitable for use in modern agricultural spraying equipment.

Mode of Action

The compound fungicide contains 5% Pyraclostrobin and 55% Metiram WDG. When systemic Pyraclostrobin combines with protective Metiram, together they create a dual defense system that offers both internal and external protection, thereby preventing and curing diseases at the same time. Pyraclostrobin inhibits fungal mitochondrial respiration by blocking the electron transfer from cytochrome b to cytochrome c₁, cutting off the fungus’s energy (ATP) supply. Metiram forms a protective film on the plant surface to stop pathogen spores from germinating and invading. Together, they extend the effectiveness period to 10–14 days and lower the risk of resistance.

Suitable crops

Disease prevention

Metiram 55% + Pyraclostrobin 5% WDG is a broad-spectrum fungicide that protects many crops from fungal diseases. It provides strong control of early and late blight in tomato and potato, prevents downy mildew in grape and cucumber, and effectively manages anthracnose in chilli and purple blotch in onion. The product also controls alternaria leaf spot in cotton and various leaf spot and blight diseases in apple, cumin, green gram, and black gram. In addition, it helps reduce fruit spot in pomegranate, tikka disease in groundnut, sigatoka leaf spot in banana, and downy mildew in bitter gourd.

Dosage and administration

Precautions

1. Correct Preparation: Accurately weigh the pesticide according to the recommended dosage, stir thoroughly before spraying.
2. Spraying Time: Best results are achieved at the early stages of disease occurrence or for preventative spraying. Avoid application during strong winds or high temperatures (above 30°C).
3. Interval: A spraying interval of 10–14 days is recommended. Adjust the frequency of application as needed based on disease development.
4. Alternating Use: To prevent pathogen resistance, alternate or mix with fungicides of different mechanisms of action.
5. Avoid Drift: Prevent pesticide drift to nearby non-target crops or water sources during spraying.
6. Safe Interval: Allow at least 7–14 days between harvests (depending on crop type).
