TEBUCONAZOLE 10% + SULPHUR 65% WG – SulCona

Description

SULCONA is a highly effective unique combination fungicide containing Tebuconazole 10% + Sulphur 65% WG, bringing together two complementary crop protection molecules with completely different modes of action for comprehensive fungal disease and mite management in a single convenient application. Tebuconazole belongs to the triazole group of systemic fungicides and works by inhibiting the enzyme lanosterol 14-alpha demethylase in the ergosterol biosynthesis pathway of fungal cells — disrupting cell membrane formation and causing complete cessation of fungal growth and reproduction. Sulphur is one of the oldest and most trusted multi-site fungicide and acaricide active ingredients — it works by interfering with electron transport in fungal and mite mitochondria, disrupting energy production and causing death of fungal cells and mite populations on contact.

The strategic combination of Tebuconazole and Sulphur in SULCONA delivers triple mode crop protection — the systemic curative action of Tebuconazole arrests established fungal infections already inside plant tissue and prevents their further spread, while the broad-spectrum protective action of Sulphur creates a surface barrier that prevents new fungal spores from germinating and simultaneously controls mite populations on leaf surfaces. This comprehensive inside-out and outside-in disease control combined with additional acaricidal activity makes SULCONA a particularly valuable and versatile crop protection product for high value fruit crops like grapes, mango and apple orchards where powdery mildew, rust and mite infestations frequently occur together during the same crop season.

SULCONA is particularly outstanding for powdery mildew management in grapes — the most economically important fungal disease in grape cultivation — where the systemic curative activity of Tebuconazole combined with the excellent surface protective and anti-sporulant activity of Sulphur provides superior and longer lasting powdery mildew control compared to either molecule alone. The additional bud mite and spider mite control provided by the Sulphur component eliminates the need for a separate miticide application during the same spray round — saving significant time, labour and input costs. The Water Dispersible Granule formulation ensures quick and complete dispersion in water, dust-free handling, excellent storage stability and consistent spray coverage. With broad spectrum disease and mite control, zero resistance risk from the Sulphur component and long residual activity of up to 20–25 days, SULCONA is one of the most complete and cost effective crop protection solutions available for grape, fruit and vegetable disease management programmes.
