Flick Super Fungicide (Dimethomorph 12% + Pyraclostrobin 6.7% WG)
Advanced Dual-Action Protection Against Downy Mildew & Late Blight
Flick Super is a premium, broad-spectrum fungicide designed to rescue high-value crops like Grapes, Potatoes, and Tomatoes from devastating fungal diseases. By combining two powerful chemistries—Dimethomorph and Pyraclostrobin—it not only stops disease spread but also triggers a "Greening Effect," keeping your crop healthier for longer to maximize yield and market price.
Best For: Farmers facing resistance issues with older fungicides like Mancozeb or Metalaxyl.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Dual Attack Power: Combines a "Wall Breaker" (Dimethomorph) and an "Energy Thief" (Pyraclostrobin) to kill fungus at multiple stages.
-
🛡️
Preventive & Curative: Stops new infections before they start and heals early-stage infections (24-48 hour kick-back action).
-
⏳
Long-Lasting Control: Provides 10 to 14 days of residual activity, reducing the number of sprays needed per season.
-
🌧️
Excellent Rainfastness: Rapidly absorbs into the leaf wax, ensuring protection stays active even after rain showers once dried.
-
🌿
The "Greening Effect": Improves nitrogen absorption and reduces plant stress, leading to greener leaves and higher quality produce.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Flick Super uses a synergistic "Double-Tap" mechanism to ensure no fungal spore survives:
- Energy Block (Pyraclostrobin): It acts on the fungal mitochondria (powerhouse), cutting off ATP energy production. Without energy, spores cannot germinate or move.
- Wall Destruction (Dimethomorph): It disrupts the formation of the fungal cell wall (cellulose synthesis). This causes the growing fungus to rupture and die.
- Stress Relief: Simultaneously, it reduces Ethylene (aging hormone) production in the plant, delaying leaf yellowing and extending the harvest period.
This combination is highly effective against Oomycetes (Water Molds) like Downy Mildew, which are difficult to control with standard fungicides.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Grapes | Downy Mildew (Plasmopara viticola) |
| Potato & Tomato | Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans), Early Blight |
| Cucumber | Downy Mildew (Pseudoperonospora cubensis) |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. Dilution rates may vary based on canopy size.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | 600 g | 300 - 400 L | ~1.5 - 2.0 g | 34 Days |
| Potato / Tomato | 500 - 600 g | 200 L | ~2.5 - 3.0 g | 26 Days (Potato) |
| Cucumber | 600 g | 200 L | 3.0 g | 10 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting to meet export/safety standards.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventively (before disease starts) or at the very first sign of spots. For best results, use during active shoot growth and flowering.
- Mixing: Pre-mix the granules in a small bucket of water (cream it) before adding to the main tank. Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux Mixture or Lime Sulphur.
- Coverage: Use hollow cone nozzles to create a fine mist that reaches the undersides of leaves where Downy Mildew hides.
- Safety: This product is toxic to aquatic life. Do not spray near ponds. Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Flick Super with other insecticides?
Yes, it is compatible with common insecticides like Imidacloprid or Emamectin. However, always perform a physical jar test first and avoid highly alkaline mixtures.
2. How many times can I use it in one season?
To prevent resistance, limit usage to 3-4 sprays per crop season. Rotate with other fungicides like Mancozeb or Cymoxanil.
3. Why are my plants greener after spraying?
This is the physiological "Greening Effect." The Pyraclostrobin component improves nitrogen assimilation and reduces plant stress, keeping leaves green and functional for longer.
4. Is it safe for export grapes?
Yes, if the Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of 34 days is strictly followed. Using it closer to harvest may result in residue issues.
5. Does it cure disease that has already started?
Flick Super has some curative (kick-back) action if sprayed within 24-48 hours of infection. However, it works best as a preventive shield.
