Magnite is a broad-spectrum fungicide manufactured by Coromandel International.1 It combines two powerful active ingredients:2

• Azoxystrobin 11% w/w: A strobilurin fungicide with systemic properties, known for its preventative and curative action.3

• Difenoconazole 18.4% w/w: A triazole fungicide with broad-spectrum disease control and systemic activity.4

This combination makes Magnite a versatile and effective tool for managing fungal diseases in a variety of crops.5

Key Features and Benefits:

• Dual mode of action: The two active ingredients offer two distinct modes of action, providing broader disease control and reducing the risk of resistance development.

• Broad-spectrum control: Effective against a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops.6

• Preventative and curative action: Can be used both to prevent infections and to cure existing diseases at early stages.7

• Systemic activity: Absorbed by the plant and translocated upwards, providing protection from within.

• Improved yield and quality: By protecting crops from fungal diseases, Magnite helps improve yield and enhance the quality of produce.8

Mode of Action:

• Azoxystrobin: Inhibits mitochondrial respiration in fungi by blocking electron transfer at the Qo site (Quinone outside Inhibitors).9 This disrupts energy production and fungal growth.10

• Difenoconazole: Inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis in fungi. Ergosterol is a vital component of fungal cell membranes.11 By disrupting its production, Difenoconazole affects the growth and development of the fungus, ultimately controlling the disease.12

Targeted Diseases:

Magnite is effective against a range of fungal diseases, including:

• Blast in paddy13

• Sheath blight in paddy

• Brown spot in paddy

• Early blight in tomato14

• Late blight in tomato15

• Powdery mildew in various crops16

• Rusts in various crops17

• Leaf spot diseases in various crops

Application:

Magnite is typically applied as a foliar spray, ensuring thorough coverage of the plant.18 It's crucial to follow the recommended application rates and guidelines provided on the product label for optimal efficacy and to avoid phytotoxicity.

Recommended Crops:

Magnite can be used on a variety of crops, including:

• Paddy19

• Tomato20
