Crystal Kyoto Fungicide (Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% w/w SC)
The Ultimate Dual-Action Protection for Disease-Free, Greener Crops.
Crystal Kyoto is a premium systemic fungicide that combines two powerful chemistries to provide complete protection against hard-to-control fungal diseases. By mixing Azoxystrobin and Tebuconazole, Kyoto doesn't just kill fungus—it stops it from entering your plants and cleans up existing infections.
Beyond disease control, Kyoto offers a unique "Phytotonic Green Effect." This technology delays leaf yellowing (aging) and keeps leaves greener for longer, directly boosting photosynthesis and resulting in higher quality yields and shiny grains.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Immediate "Kick-Back" Action: Stops active infections instantly by penetrating the leaf tissue and killing established fungus.
-
🛡️
Dual-Mode Protection: Acts as both a shield (preventive) and a cure (eradicant), ensuring spores cannot germinate and mycelium cannot grow.
-
⏳
Long-Lasting Systemic Control: Moves upward in the plant (acropetal movement) to protect new leaves and shoots that grow after spraying.
-
🌧️
Excellent Rainfastness: Binds quickly to the leaf surface; the product is safe from wash-off just 4 to 6 hours after application.
-
🌿
The "Green Effect" (Yield Booster): Reduces plant stress and keeps leaves green longer, leading to better grain filling and higher market value.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Kyoto uses a synergistic "One-Two Punch" strategy to eliminate fungi at multiple stages of their life cycle.
- Stops Energy Production (Azoxystrobin): It blocks the mitochondrial respiration (energy powerhouse) of the fungus. Spores run out of energy and cannot germinate or penetrate the leaf.
- Destroys Cell Walls (Tebuconazole): It inhibits sterol biosynthesis (ergosterol), which acts like the "cement" in fungal cell walls. The cell membrane becomes leaky and collapses, killing the fungus.
- Systemic Redistribution: Once applied, the medicine spreads through the leaf (translaminar) and moves upward (acropetal) to protect areas that weren't directly sprayed.
This combination creates a resistance-breaking tool that is effective even where older fungicides fail.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Sheath Blight, Blast, Dirty Panicle |
| Chilli & Tomato | Fruit Rot (Anthracnose), Powdery Mildew, Early Blight |
| Wheat & Onion | Yellow Rust, Purple Blotch, Stemphylium Blight |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 300 ml | 200 L | 1.5 ml | 31 |
| Chilli / Tomato | 240 - 300 ml | 200 L | 1.25 - 1.5 ml | 5 |
| Wheat | 300 ml | 200 L | 1.5 ml | 35 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventively or at the very first sign of disease (e.g., Booting stage in paddy, flowering stage in chilli).
- Mixing: Compatible with most insecticides like Imidacloprid. Perform a physical jar test before mixing with new chemicals. Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture.
- Coverage: Ensure uniform coverage. The SC formulation spreads well, but good contact with the leaf surface is essential for absorption.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid usage near aquaculture ponds.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Kyoto help with yield increasing?
Yes. Apart from killing fungus, Kyoto keeps the flag leaf green for longer (Green Effect). This helps the plant produce more food for the grains, resulting in heavier, shiny grains and better yield.
2. Is Crystal Kyoto rainfast?
Yes, it is rainfast within 4 to 6 hours. If it rains 6 hours after you spray, you do not need to spray again.
3. Can I use Kyoto on any crop?
It is registered for Paddy, Chilli, Wheat, Onion, Tomato, Potato, and Grapes. Always check the label for specific crop suitability.
4. What is the correct dosage for a 15-liter pump?
For a standard dose of 1.5ml/Liter, add roughly 22-25 ml of Kyoto per 15-liter tank.
5. Can I repeat the spray?
Yes, but to prevent resistance, do not spray more than two consecutive times. Rotate with a different type of fungicide if a third spray is needed.
