How It Works: Mode of Action
Dozan works through a powerful "Synergistic Effect," making the mixture far more powerful than using either chemical alone.
- Contact Action (Mancozeb): Forms a protective layer on the leaf surface that prevents fungal spores from germinating and entering the plant.
- Systemic Action (Cymoxanil): Rapidly penetrates the plant tissue. It hunts down the fungus growing inside the leaf and kills it by stopping nucleic acid synthesis.
- Anti-Sporulant: Even if the disease is present, Dozan prevents the fungus from producing new spores, stopping the spread to healthy plants.

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 (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Potato / Tomato | 600 g | 200 L | 3 g | 10 Days |

*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply proactively before disease starts, or immediately upon seeing the first symptoms. Do not wait for heavy infection.
- Mixing: For Citrus Gummosis, mix 250g Dozan + 25g Linseed Oil in 100L water and apply as a trunk drench.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of lower leaves where humidity traps disease. Use hollow cone nozzles for misting.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
