Product Description
Moyashi is a wettable powder fungicide containing 70% Thiophanate Methyl as its active ingredient and is available in 100g, 250g, 500g, and 1kg packages. Thiophanate Methyl belongs to the benzimidazole group of fungicides, which are known for their broad-spectrum activity and systemic action. This means that the fungicide is absorbed by the plant and translocated throughout its tissues, providing protection from within. Moyashi has a unique combination of preventative, curative, and systemic fungicidal properties. This makes Moyashi an extremely versatile product, as it can be used to prevent fungal infections, cure existing infections, and eradicate established diseases.
Moyashi is particularly effective against fungal diseases such as powdery mildew, scab, rust, and anthracnose. It provides enhanced phytotonic and antifungal effects due to the presence of the S atom in its chemical structure. Instead of simply killing the fungus, Moyashi works by disrupting the development of fungal cells, which prevents the disease from spreading and causing further damage to the crop.
Moyashi is safe for humans and animals when used according to the recommended guidelines. The product packaging features a green triangle, which indicates its low mammalian toxicity. Moyashi also dissolves quickly and evenly in water, making it easy to apply.
