Uchiwa Fungicide (Tebuconazole 10% + Sulphur 65% WG) by IFFCO-MC
Advanced Japanese technology for broad-spectrum disease and mite control in Chilli and Soybean.
Uchiwa is a premium co-formulated fungicide that combines the systemic power of Tebuconazole with the contact and nutritional benefits of Sulphur. Manufactured using Japanese precision technology, it offers a "dual-action" shield against stubborn fungal diseases while providing a phytotonic "greening" effect that boosts crop health and yield.
Best For: Farmers seeking a cost-effective, resistance-breaking solution for Powdery Mildew, Fruit Rot, and Mites.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Uchiwa employs a synergistic approach to disease management, attacking the fungus from both the outside and the inside to prevent resistance.
[Image of fungal cell membrane disruption by tebuconazole]- Systemic Attack (Tebuconazole): Absorbed by the leaves, it travels inside the plant to inhibit ergosterol biosynthesis. This prevents the fungus from building cell walls, causing it to collapse and die.
- Contact Barrier (Sulphur): Remains on the leaf surface, disrupting the fungal respiration process (energy production). It acts as a multi-site toxicant, killing spores before they can germinate.
- Vapor Action: The sulphur component releases vapors that reach hidden parts of the canopy, such as the undersides of leaves, ensuring 360-degree coverage.
Bonus: The sulphur content is eventually absorbed by the plant as a nutrient, correcting deficiencies and improving chlorophyll production.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Chilli | Powdery Mildew, Fruit Rot (Anthracnose) |
| Soybean | Leaf Spot, Pod Blight |
| General Crops | Effective against Mites (Acaricide) |
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 (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli | 500 g | 200 L | 2.5 g | 5 Days |
| Soybean | 500 g | 200 L | 2.5 g | 26 Days |
| Small Gardens | -- | -- | 2.5 - 5 g | -- |
*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 when weather is cloudy/humid, or immediately upon seeing the first signs of disease (spots or powder).
- Mixing: Use the "Slurry Method." Dissolve the granules in a small bucket of water first to create a milky liquid before adding it to the main tank.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone Nozzle to ensure fine mist and turbulence. This helps flip leaves to coat the undersides where Powdery Mildew hides.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during active bee foraging hours (mid-day).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Uchiwa effective against mites?
Yes. The high Sulphur content (65%) acts as a potent acaricide, controlling mites effectively along with fungal diseases.
2. Does it leave dust or residue?
No. Uchiwa is a Water Dispersible Granule (WG). It dissolves completely in water and does not leave dusty residues like traditional wettable powders.
3. Can I mix Uchiwa with other insecticides?
Yes, it is generally compatible with most insecticides and liquid fertilizers. However, always perform a small "jar test" before mixing large quantities.
4. Why is my crop looking greener after spraying?
This is the "Phytotonic Effect." The sulphur in Uchiwa is absorbed by the plant, aiding in chlorophyll synthesis and making the leaves greener and healthier.
5. What is the benefit of the IFFCO-MC connection?
You get Japanese manufacturing quality (Mitsubishi) at a reasonable cooperative price (IFFCO), bypassing expensive distributor margins.
