How It Works: Mode of Action
Magnite utilizes a "Double-Lock" mechanism to ensure fungal pathogens have nowhere to hide.
- Stops Energy (Azoxystrobin): Blocks mitochondrial respiration (energy production) in the fungus. This kills spores on the leaf surface before they can penetrate, providing excellent prevention.
- Destroys Structure (Difenoconazole): Penetrates the plant tissue and inhibits ergosterol synthesis (cell wall building). This stops the growth of existing fungus inside the leaf, acting as a curative.
- Systemic Movement: Moves vertically (acropetal) and horizontally (translaminar) within the plant, protecting new leaves that emerge after spraying.
This synergy makes it highly effective against resistance and ensures long-duration control.
Target Crops & Pests
[Image of Rice Blast disease symptoms]| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Blast (Leaf & Neck), Sheath Blight, Glume Discoloration |
| Tomato | Early Blight, Late Blight |
| Wheat | Yellow Rust, Brown Rust, Powdery Mildew |
| Maize | Turcicum Leaf Blight, Downy Mildew |
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) | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 31 |
| Tomato | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 5 |
| Wheat | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 35 |
| Maize | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 26 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting to ensure safety.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For best results, spray preventively (before disease appears) or at the very first sign of disease symptoms. For Rice, the Booting stage is critical.
- Mixing: Fill the spray tank with half the required water, add the measured dose of Magnite, and mix well before adding the rest of the water.
- Coverage: Use a hollow cone nozzle for a fine mist. Ensure the spray covers both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves, as pests like Rust often hide underneath.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during strong winds to prevent drift.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Magnite with insecticides?
Yes, Magnite is compatible with most common insecticides like Imidacloprid and Cypermethrin. However, avoid mixing with highly alkaline substances like Bordeaux mixture.
2. How does the "Greening Effect" help my crop?
Magnite reduces ethylene production (aging hormone) and improves nitrogen uptake. This keeps the leaves functioning longer, leading to heavier grains and better quality produce.
3. Is it safe for bees?
While relatively safe, it is best to avoid spraying during peak flowering times (mid-day) when bees are actively foraging to ensure their safety.
4. What if it rains after spraying?
Magnite is rainfast within 2 to 4 hours. If it rains after this period, you do not need to re-spray.
5. How is this better than using just Mancozeb?
Mancozeb is a contact fungicide that only stays on the surface. Magnite is systemic, meaning it enters the plant to cure internal infections and provides much longer protection (15-20 days vs 7 days).
