How It Works: Mode of Action
Krizole ++ works by targeting the "building blocks" of the fungus cell wall.
- Penetration: The chemical rapidly enters the plant tissue through leaves and stems.
- Translocation: It moves systematically within the plant (Acropetal action), protecting new growth that wasn't directly sprayed. It also moves from the top of the leaf to the bottom (Translaminar) to hide hidden spores.
- Collapse: It blocks the production of Ergosterol, a vital component for the fungus cell membrane. Without this, the fungus collapses and dies.
This mechanism makes it highly effective against stubborn diseases like Sheath Blight and Powdery Mildew.

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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 400 ml | 200 - 500 L | 1 - 2 ml | 40 |
| Mango | Tree specific | As required | 2 ml | 27 |
| Grapes | 200 - 400 ml | 200 - 400 L | 1 ml | 14 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventatively or at the very first sign of disease lesions. For Rice, the best time is maximum tillering to booting stage.
- Mixing: Perform a "Jar Test" before mixing with other chemicals. It is compatible with most insecticides but DO NOT mix with Bordeaux mixture or alkaline products.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray reaches the base of the plant (sheath area) for Rice. For trees, coat the panicles and leaves thoroughly.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
