How It Works: Mode of Action
Tozo uses "Dual Synergism" to attack fungi from two angles, making it difficult for pests to develop resistance.
[Image of fungicide mode of action diagram inhibiting fungal cell]- Stops Energy (Azoxystrobin): It blocks the fungus's respiration (breathing) and cuts off its energy supply (ATP), effectively stopping spores from germinating.
- Destroys Cell Walls (Tebuconazole): It inhibits Ergosterol biosynthesis, which destroys the structure of the fungal cell wall, causing the fungus to collapse and die.
- Systemic Flow: The medicine is absorbed by the plant and moves upwards (Acropetal) and through the leaf (Translaminar), protecting new growth that wasn't sprayed directly.
This combination acts as a preventive shield and a curative medicine ("kick-back" action).
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Chilli | Fruit Rot (Anthracnose), Die-back, Powdery Mildew |
| Rice (Paddy) | Sheath Blight, Blast, Dirty Panicle |
| Tomato, Onion, Potato | Early Blight, Purple Blotch, Late Blight (Suppression) |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli | 240 ml | 200 L | 1.2 ml | 5 Days |
| Rice / Paddy | 300 ml | 320 L | 1 ml | - |
| Tomato / Onion | 300 ml | 200 L | 1.5 ml | 7 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray preventively at the flowering stage or immediately when the first sign of disease spots appears.
- Mixing: Compatible with most insecticides and fertilizers. Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture. Perform a small jar test first.
- Coverage: Use a hollow cone nozzle to ensure the fine mist reaches the undersides of leaves and leaf sheaths (especially in Rice).
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the primary use of Tozo fungicide?
Tozo is used to control fungal diseases like Fruit Rot, Sheath Blight, Powdery Mildew, and Early Blight in crops like Chilli, Rice, and Vegetables.
2. Does Tozo improve crop yield?
Yes, Tozo has a "Greening Effect" that reduces leaf aging and improves nitrogen absorption, leading to higher yields and better quality produce (shinier chilli, cleaner grain).
3. Is Tozo rainfast?
Yes, Tozo is a Suspension Concentrate (SC) formulation. Once the spray dries on the leaf (approx. 1-2 hours), it does not wash off easily.
4. Can I mix Tozo with other pesticides?
It is generally compatible with common insecticides like Imidacloprid. However, avoid mixing with Sulphur or highly alkaline chemicals.
5. What is the dose for a 15-litre spray tank?
For most crops, use approximately 20 ml to 30 ml of Tozo per 15-litre tank. Always check the label for specific crop instructions.
