Conzole Premium Fungicide (Hexaconazole 5% SC) by Nichino
Advanced Systemic Protection Against Sheath Blight and Powdery Mildew
Secure your harvest with Conzole Premium, a high-performance systemic fungicide from Nichino India. Engineered as a superior Suspension Concentrate (SC), it provides broad-spectrum control against stubborn fungal diseases in Rice, Grapes, and Mangoes.
Why it stands out: Unlike older powder or solvent-heavy formulations, Conzole Premium is water-based. This makes it safer for delicate plant tissues (like flowers) and provides a unique "greening effect" that boosts plant health and stress tolerance.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Rapid Systemic Action: Quickly absorbed by the plant, moving upwards (acropetal) to protect new growth immediately after spraying.
-
🛡️
Triple-Action Defense: Offers complete protection by preventing infection, curing existing disease, and eradicating fungal spores.
-
⏳
Superior Rainfastness: The SC formulation sticks firmly to leaves, ensuring efficacy even if it rains shortly after application.
-
🌧️
Phytotonic Greening Effect: Boosts chlorophyll retention, delaying aging and keeping leaves greener for longer periods.
-
🌿
Flower-Safe Formula: Water-based technology eliminates harsh petroleum solvents, preventing burn on sensitive blooms and berries.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Conzole Premium targets the fungal cell membrane, disrupting its ability to function and survive.
[Image of ergosterol biosynthesis inhibition in fungi]- Stops Biosynthesis: It inhibits the enzyme (C14-demethylase) responsible for creating Ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell walls.
- Collapses Cells: Without Ergosterol, the fungal membrane becomes weak and leaky, causing the pathogen to die.
- Total Coverage: The chemical moves through the leaf (translaminar) to kill hidden fungi on the undersides and moves up the stem to protect new leaves.
Result: The fungus is halted instantly, preventing further spread and sporulation.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani) |
| Grapes | Powdery Mildew (Uncinula necator) |
| Mango | Powdery Mildew (Oidium mangiferae) |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 200 ml | 100 - 200 L | 1.0 - 2.0 ml | 40 Days |
| Grapes | 200 - 400 ml | 400+ L (Canopy dependent) | 0.5 - 1.0 ml | 14 Days |
| Mango | 200 ml | 100 L | 2.0 ml | 27 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Rice, apply at the maximum tillering to booting stage when lesions first appear. For Mango/Grapes, apply preventively during flowering/fruiting.
- Mixing: The SC formulation mixes easily. Pour the required dose into a small quantity of water first, mix well, then add to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray reaches the lower sheaths in rice and covers both sides of the leaves in fruit crops.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Conzole Premium safer than Hexaconazole EC?
Yes. The SC (Suspension Concentrate) formulation is water-based and lacks the petroleum solvents found in ECs, reducing the risk of burning sensitive flowers or young berries.
2. What is the waiting period for Rice?
You must wait 40 days after the last spray before harvesting rice to ensure residues are within safe limits.
3. Can I use this on export-quality Grapes?
Yes, but strict adherence to the 14-day PHI is required to meet European MRL (residue) standards.
4. Does Conzole Premium help with plant health?
Yes. It acts as a mild plant growth regulator, promoting a "greening effect" that improves stress tolerance and chlorophyll density.
5. Is this product safe for fish ponds?
No. Hexaconazole is toxic to aquatic life. Do not use near fish ponds, aquaculture setups, or natural water bodies.
