How It Works: Mode of Action
- Systemic Action (Azoxystrobin): Absorbed rapidly by roots and leaves. It moves through the xylem to protect new growth and stops the fungus from breathing and reproducing.
- Contact Shield (Mancozeb): Remains on the leaf surface to form a protective barrier, preventing new fungal spores from entering the plant.
- Nutrient Delivery: The formulation breaks down to release Zinc and Manganese, which improves photosynthesis and overall plant immunity.
This multi-site action makes it very difficult for fungi to develop resistance against Natraj.

How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply immediately when early symptoms of disease (like spots or rotting) appear. For best results, spray preventively before disease outbreak.
- Mixing: Premix the required quantity of Natraj with a small amount of water to make a paste, then add to the main tank with agitation.
- Coverage: Ensure uniform coverage of the foliage. Use Knapsack or Power Sprayers for fine misting.
