Tebazo is a broad-spectrum fungicide manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical India Ltd.1 It offers a powerful combination of two active ingredients:2

• Azoxystrobin 12.5%:3 This belongs to the strobilurin group of fungicides.4 It works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungi, effectively disrupting their energy production and halting their growth.5

• Tebuconazole 12.5%:6 This is a triazole fungicide that inhibits the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes.7 This disruption leads to the collapse of fungal cells and prevents disease development.8

This dual mode of action makes Tebazo highly effective against a wide range of fungal diseases and helps to manage resistance development.9

Key Features and Benefits:

• Dual Mode of Action: Tebazo combines two different modes of action, providing enhanced efficacy and reducing the risk of resistance development.10

• Broad-Spectrum Control: It effectively controls various fungal diseases, including Powdery Mildew, Anthracnose, Leaf Spot, Rust, and Sheath Blight in different crops.11

• Systemic and Translaminar Activity: Tebazo is absorbed by the plant and moves both upwards and within the leaf tissue, providing comprehensive protection.12

• Preventive and Curative Action: It can be used both to prevent fungal infections and to cure existing ones.13

• Improved Yield and Quality: By controlling fungal diseases, Tebazo helps to improve crop yield and quality.14

• Flexible Application: It can be applied as a foliar spray, offering flexibility in application timing.15
