How It Works: Mode of Action
Glo-It works by inhibiting Ergosterol Biosynthesis, which is essential for building fungal cell walls. Without this, the fungus collapses and dies.
- Systemic Action (Propiconazole): Absorbed by leaves and stems, it moves upward (Acropetally) inside the plant to protect new growth.
- Translaminar Action (Difenoconazole): Penetrates the leaf surface and moves to the underside, killing hidden pests that sprays often miss.
- Preventive Shield: Prevents fungal spores from germinating, effectively breaking the disease cycle before it starts.
This dual mechanism makes it highly effective against the "dirty panicle" complex and sheath blight in rice.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Sheath Blight, Dirty Panicle (Grain Discoloration) |
| Wheat | Yellow Rust, Leaf Blight, Powdery Mildew |
| Fruits (Apple, Pomegranate) | Scab, Fruit Rot, Dieback |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Using less water reduces efficacy.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 150 - 200 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1 ml | 46 Days |
| Wheat | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 30-40 Days |
| Vegetables/Fruits | 150 - 200 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1 ml | 7 - 14 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note the 46-day waiting period for Rice to meet export standards.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Paddy, apply first at vegetative stage (25-30 days after transplanting) and again at Booting stage to prevent Dirty Panicle.
- Mixing: Fill tank half with water, add Glo-It, agitate vigorously until milky white, then fill the rest. Do not let the mix sit overnight.
- Coverage: Ensure full coverage of the lower canopy for Sheath Blight control. Use 150-200 Litres of water per acre.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying near fish ponds as it is toxic to aquatic life.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Glo-It really make plants greener?
Yes. The triazoles in Glo-It have a "phytotonic" effect that delays leaf aging and keeps the flag leaf green, helping the plant produce better quality grains.
2. Can I use this for export-quality rice?
Yes, but strict adherence to the 46-day PHI is required. Do not spray during late grain-filling stages to avoid residue issues.
3. Is it rainfast?
Yes, Glo-It is rainfast within 1 to 2 hours after application, making it reliable during the monsoon season.
4. Can I mix Glo-It with insecticides?
Generally, yes. It is compatible with common insecticides like Thiamethoxam and Coragen (Chlorantraniliprole) for stem borer control. Always do a small jar test first.
5. What is the difference between Propiconazole and Difenoconazole?
Propiconazole moves fast to cure existing disease inside the plant. Difenoconazole moves slower but stays longer on the leaf surface to prevent new infections. Glo-It gives you both.
