Kyoto is a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide with protective and curative action.1 It's manufactured by Crystal Crop Protection Limited and contains Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC as its active ingredients.2 This dual-mode-of-action fungicide offers comprehensive control against a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops.3
Mode of Action:
Azoxystrobin: A strobilurin fungicide that inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungi, preventing them from producing energy and ultimately leading to their death.4 It has translaminar activity, penetrating leaf tissues to provide better protection.5
Tebuconazole: A triazole fungicide that inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi.6 Ergosterol is a crucial component of fungal cell membranes, and its disruption leads to the death of the fungus.7 Tebuconazole is systemic and moves upwards within the plant, providing internal protection.8
This combination of two different modes of action provides enhanced efficacy and reduces the risk of resistance development in fungi.9
Key Features and Benefits:
Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide range of diseases, including Sheath blight, Blast, Brown spot in paddy; Powdery mildew, Anthracnose, Fruit rot in chili; Purple blotch in onion; Yellow rust in wheat; Early blight in tomato; Early and late blight in potato; and many others.10
Dual mode of action: Offers two different mechanisms for controlling fungal diseases, providing enhanced efficacy and reducing the risk of resistance development.11
Protective and curative: Prevents new infections and helps control existing ones.12
Systemic activity: Moves within the plant, providing protection from within.13
Improved plant health: Promotes healthy growth and enhances the plant's natural defense mechanisms.14
Enhanced yield and quality: Results in higher yields and improved quality of produce.15
Application:
Kyoto is applied as a foliar spray.
