Haru is a broad-spectrum fungicide manufactured by Sumitomo Chemical India Ltd.1 It offers a unique combination of two active ingredients that work together to provide comprehensive protection against fungal diseases:2
Tebuconazole 10%: A systemic fungicide belonging to the triazole group.3 It is absorbed by the plant and translocated upwards, providing protection from within.4 Tebuconazole inhibits ergosterol biosynthesis, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, disrupting their growth and development.5
Sulphur 65%:6 A contact fungicide with multi-site activity. It interferes with various metabolic processes in fungi, disrupting their growth and reproduction. Sulphur also acts as an acaricide (miticide) and provides essential plant nutrition.
This dual mode of action makes Haru a versatile and effective fungicide for managing a wide range of fungal diseases.7
