How It Works: Mode of Action
Sukhiya VIP works differently than standard chemical fungicides. It acts as a Fungistatic Antibiotic.
- Contact Action: Upon spraying, the active ingredient comes into contact with the fungus.
- Growth Inhibition: It targets the "hyphae" (the root-like structure of the fungus) and causes abnormal branching at the tips.
- Disease Stop: This disruption physically stops the fungus from developing further, effectively halting the spread of the disease across the crop.
Because it attacks the physical structure of the fungus, it is an excellent tool for resistance management in your crop rotation.

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 (Rice) | 800 ml | 300 Litres | 2.6 ml | 14 Days |
| Potato | 800 - 1000 ml | 300 Litres | 2.5 - 3 ml | 14 Days |
| Vegetables | 800 ml | 300 Litres | 2.6 ml | 7 - 14 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
