Custodia is a broad-spectrum fungicide that combines two active ingredients, Azoxystrobin and Tebuconazole, to provide effective control of a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops. It offers both preventative and curative action, helping to protect crops and enhance yields.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum control: Effective against many fungal pathogens, including Powdery mildew, Downy mildew, Leaf spot, Blast, Rust, and Anthracnose.

• Dual mode of action: Azoxystrobin inhibits fungal respiration, while Tebuconazole disrupts fungal cell membrane formation. This combination provides more comprehensive disease control and reduces the risk of resistance development.

• Systemic and translaminar movement: The fungicide is absorbed by the plant and moves both upwards and across the leaf surface, ensuring thorough protection.

• Improved plant health: Custodia can enhance the physiological activity of the crop, leading to better growth and development.

• Increased yield and quality: By effectively controlling diseases, Custodia helps to improve crop yield and the quality of the produce.

• Flexible application: It can be used both preventatively and curatively, offering a wider window of application.

Crops:

Custodia is registered for use on a variety of crops, including:

• Cereals (e.g., wheat, rice)

• Pulses (e.g., lentils, chickpeas)

• Oilseeds (e.g., canola, sunflower)

• Vegetables (e.g., tomatoes, onions, potatoes)

• Fruits (e.g., grapes, apples)

Mode of Action:

Custodia works by combining two different modes of action:

• Azoxystrobin: Belongs to the strobilurin group of fungicides. It inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungi by blocking the electron transport chain, which is essential for energy production.

• Tebuconazole: Belongs to the triazole group of fungicides. It inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a key component of the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts membrane function and leads to the death of the fungus.

Usage:

Always refer to the product label for specific instructions and application rates for your target crop and disease.

Safety Precautions:

• Wear appropriate protective clothing, including gloves, goggles, and a respirator, when handling and applying Custodia.

• Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.

• Do not inhale the spray mist.

• Keep out of reach of children and animals.

• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat.

Important Note:

Always read and follow the instructions on the product label carefully before using Custodia fungicide. The label provides detailed information on application rates, safety precautions, and other important instructions.
