AZOXYSTROBIN 16.7% + TRICYCLAZOLE 33.3% SC – Tricylo

Description

TRICYLO is a highly specialized premium combination fungicide containing Azoxystrobin 16.7% + Tricyclazole 33.3% SC, specifically formulated for comprehensive fungal disease management in rice cultivation. This advanced combination brings together two of the most effective and complementary fungicide molecules from completely different chemical groups — Azoxystrobin from the strobilurin group and Tricyclazole from the Melanin Biosynthesis Inhibitor (MBI) group — to deliver outstanding simultaneous control of rice blast and sheath blight, the two most economically devastating fungal diseases in Indian rice production.

Azoxystrobin works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells through blocking the electron transport chain at the Qo site of cytochrome bc1 complex — preventing ATP energy production and causing complete cessation of fungal growth, sporulation and spread. It provides broad spectrum activity against sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani as well as additional protection against brown spot and narrow brown leaf spot diseases. Tricyclazole works through a completely unique mechanism — it specifically inhibits melanin biosynthesis in the blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae, preventing the formation of melanized appressoria that the fungus requires to generate sufficient turgor pressure to mechanically penetrate the rice leaf cuticle. Without melanin, the blast fungus is completely unable to infect the rice plant — breaking the infection cycle at its very first and most critical step.

The combination of these two complementary modes of action in TRICYLO delivers triple mode disease control — preventive activity that prevents new blast and sheath blight infections before they establish, curative activity that arrests established infections before they spread and cause visible yield loss, and eradicative activity that eliminates existing disease lesions and completely stops further sporulation and secondary spread through the rice canopy. The Azoxystrobin component additionally provides the well documented plant health and greening effect in rice — improving photosynthetic efficiency, enhancing stress tolerance, promoting stronger tillering and root development and improving overall crop vigour — translating into better grain filling, improved yield and superior grain quality beyond the disease control benefit alone. TRICYLO is the most complete and advanced single product rice disease management solution available for comprehensive blast and sheath blight control in Indian paddy cultivation today.
