Prop Plus Fungicide (Propiconazole 10.71% + Tricyclazole 34.2% SE)
The Ultimate "Crop Saver" for Rice Blast and Sheath Blight Control
Coromandel Prop Plus is a premium, advanced fungicide designed specifically for Paddy (Rice) farmers. It uses unique Suspo-Emulsion (SE) technology to combine two powerful chemistries into one bottle. Unlike older powder fungicides, this liquid formulation sticks better to the leaf and acts faster.
It provides a complete shield against the "Rice Fungal Complex," effectively treating both Sheath Blight (curative action) and Rice Blast (preventive action) simultaneously. It is the perfect solution for farmers looking for green, disease-free crops and higher-quality grain yields.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
⏱️
Dual Action Power: Combines the curative power of Propiconazole (kills existing fungus) with the preventive shield of Tricyclazole (stops new infections).
-
🛡️
Complete Blast Protection: Known as the "Gold Standard" for preventing Neck Blast, ensuring your panicles remain healthy and filled.
-
⏳
Advanced SE Technology: The Suspo-Emulsion formula ensures the medicine sticks to the plant surface better than powders, offering longer protection.
-
🌧️
Excellent Rainfastness: The advanced stickers in the formula resist wash-off during monsoon rains, saving you the cost of re-spraying.
-
🌿
Improved Grain Quality: It effectively controls "Dirty Panicle" (grain discoloration), ensuring your harvest is shiny, high-quality, and fetches the best market price.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Prop Plus employs a "Double-Lock" strategy to secure your crop from fungal attacks:
- The Preventive Shield (Tricyclazole): It stops the Blast fungus from producing "Melanin." Without melanin, the fungal spores cannot harden their armor to puncture the rice leaf, essentially starving the fungus outside the plant.
- The Curative Strike (Propiconazole): This systemic component enters the plant and stops the production of "Ergosterol" (vital for cell walls). It destroys the cell membranes of the Sheath Blight fungus, killing existing infections from the inside.
- The Synergy: By combining these two, Prop Plus widens the protection window—preventing new attacks while cleaning up any disease that has already started.
This dual-action significantly reduces the risk of pest resistance, making it a sustainable choice for long-term farming.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Leaf Blast & Neck Blast |
| Paddy (Rice) | Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani) |
| Paddy (Rice) | Grain Discoloration (Dirty Panicle) |
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 (Standard) | 200 ml - 250 ml | 200 Liters | 1 ml - 1.25 ml | 46 Days |
| Paddy (High Disease) | Up to 300 ml | 200 Liters | 1.5 ml | 46 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: The most critical time to spray is at the Booting / Early Heading stage. This protects the neck of the plant before the panicle emerges, preventing Neck Blast.
- Mixing: Prop Plus is compatible with common insecticides like Flubendiamide (for Stem Borer) or Cartap Hydrochloride. This allows you to create a "one-shot" spray for pests and diseases.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone Nozzle for best results. Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage, especially the lower sheath for blight control.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Prop Plus on rice meant for export?
Use caution. Do not use it on Basmati rice intended for the European Union (EU) due to strict residue limits. It is generally safe for domestic markets and exports to the USA or Middle East.
2. What happens if it rains after spraying?
Prop Plus is formulated as a Suspo-Emulsion (SE) which has excellent rainfastness. Once the spray dries on the leaf (usually 1-2 hours), it resists wash-off better than standard powder fungicides.
3. Can I mix it with other products?
Yes, it is physically compatible with most common rice insecticides like Cartap, Flubendiamide, or Rynaxypyr. Avoid mixing with highly alkaline substances (like Bordeaux mixture).
4. Will it cure the disease if I already see spots?
Yes and No. The Propiconazole component cures existing infections (like Sheath Blight), while Tricyclazole prevents new Blast infections. For best results against Neck Blast, spray before the disease appears (at booting stage).
5. When should I stop spraying before harvest?
You must stop spraying at least 46 days before harvest to ensure the grain is safe for consumption and meets residue standards.
