BHOOMIPUTRA is a broad-spectrum fungicide manufactured by HPM India.1 It contains two active ingredients for a dual mode of action against a wide range of fungal diseases:

• Azoxystrobin 18.2% w/w: A strobilurin fungicide that inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungi.2

• Difenoconazole 11.4% w/w: A triazole fungicide that inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi.

This combination makes BHOOMIPUTRA a powerful and versatile solution for protecting various crops from fungal diseases.

Key features and benefits:

• Broad-spectrum activity: BHOOMIPUTRA effectively controls a wide range of fungal diseases, including:

  • Rice: Blast, Sheath blight

  • Wheat: Rust, Powdery mildew

  • Cotton: Grey mildew, Leaf spot

  • Tomato: Early blight, Late blight

  • Onion: Purple blotch, Stemphylium blight, Downy mildew

  • Maize: Blight, Downy mildew

  • Chilli: Anthracnose, Powdery mildew

  • Turmeric: Leaf blotch, Leaf spot, Rhizome rot

• Dual mode of action: The combination of Azoxystrobin and Difenoconazole offers two different ways to disrupt fungal growth, reducing the risk of resistance development.

• Systemic and translaminar action: Both active ingredients are absorbed by the plant and move within its tissues, providing protection on both sides of the leaves and throughout the plant.3

• Preventive and curative action: BHOOMIPUTRA not only prevents fungal infections but also helps in curing existing infections.

• Antisporulant activity: It inhibits the production of spores, reducing the spread of diseases.

• Improved crop yield and quality: By effectively controlling fungal diseases, BHOOMIPUTRA contributes to healthier plants, better fruit quality, and higher yields.

• Cost-effective: It offers efficient disease control at an economical price.

• Safe for crops: Phytotoxicity has not been reported when used as recommended.

Mode of action:

• Azoxystrobin: Inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungi by blocking electron transfer, disrupting energy production and leading to fungal death.4

• Difenoconazole: Inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi, disrupting cell membrane formation and function, leading to fungal death.

Recommended crops:

BHOOMIPUTRA can be used on a variety of crops, including those listed above and others where the listed diseases are a concern.
