How It Works: Mode of Action
Bhoomiputra uses a "One-Two Punch" strategy to eliminate fungi at the cellular level. [Image of Azoxystrobin mode of action diagram]
- Energy Blockade (Azoxystrobin): It cuts off the fungus's energy supply (ATP) by blocking mitochondrial respiration. Without energy, the fungus cannot grow or reproduce.
- Membrane Destruction (Difenoconazole): It stops the production of Ergosterol, a vital component of the fungal "skin." This causes the cell membrane to collapse and the fungus to die.
- Systemic Flow: While Azoxystrobin protects the surface, Difenoconazole enters the plant system to hunt down hidden infections inside the tissue.
This combination prevents resistance build-up, making it more reliable than single-molecule fungicides.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Blast (Leaf & Neck), Sheath Blight |
| Tomato & Chilli | Early Blight, Late Blight, Anthracnose (Fruit Rot), Powdery Mildew |
| Wheat & Corn | Rusts (Yellow/Brown), Leaf Blotch, Blights |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy / Wheat | 80 - 100 ml | 200 Litres | 0.4 - 0.5 ml | Refer to Label |
| Tomato / Chilli | 80 - 100 ml | 200 Litres | 0.4 - 0.5 ml | Refer to Label |
| Cotton / Sugarcane | 100 ml | 200 Litres | 0.5 ml | Refer to Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Always check the physical product leaflet for the most current legal requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Best applied preventively (before disease starts) or at the very first sign of yellowing/spots. Avoid spraying if rain is expected within 2 hours.
- Mixing: The SC liquid mixes easily. Pour the required dose into a small amount of water first, mix well, and then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone Nozzle [Image of hollow cone nozzle] for the best mist. Ensure the underside of leaves is covered, especially for diseases like Downy Mildew or Grey Mildew.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. WARNING: Do not use near Apple orchards (Azoxystrobin is toxic to certain Apple varieties).
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Bhoomiputra different from HPM Gold?
Yes! Bhoomiputra is a chemical fungicide to kill diseases. HPM Gold is a Bio-fertilizer (mycorrhiza) for root growth. Do not confuse the two.
2. Can I mix it with insecticides?
Yes, it is physically compatible with many insecticides like Chlorantraniliprole and Imidacloprid. However, avoid mixing with highly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture.
3. Does it cure Paddy Blast?
Absolutely. It is highly effective against both Leaf Blast and Neck Blast in paddy, while also keeping the flag leaf green for better grain filling.
4. Can I use this on Apple trees?
No. Azoxystrobin is phytotoxic to certain apple varieties (like McIntosh). Avoid drift of this spray onto apple trees.
5. What is the benefit of the SC formulation?
Suspension Concentrates (SC) are safer to handle than powders (no dust), mix instantly in water, and stick better to waxy leaves like Onion and Paddy.
