Izuki is a broad-spectrum fungicide manufactured by Insecticides (India) Ltd. in collaboration with Nissan Chemical Corporation. It's specifically formulated to control blast and sheath blight in paddy (rice) crops.

Active Ingredients:

• Kasugamycin 6% SC: This is an aminoglycoside antibiotic with fungicidal activity. It inhibits protein synthesis in fungi, disrupting their growth and development.

• Thifluzamide 26% SC: This fungicide belongs to the thiazole carboxamide group. It interferes with the biosynthesis of melanin in fungi, which is essential for their penetration and infection of the plant.

Features and Benefits:

• Dual Action: Combines the strengths of two fungicides with different modes of action for enhanced disease control and reduced risk of resistance development.

• Systemic Activity: Absorbed by the plant and translocated to different parts, providing protection from within.

• Preventive and Curative Action: Acts as a protectant, preventing infection, and also has curative activity, halting the progression of the disease in early stages.

• Broad-spectrum Control: Effective against both blast and sheath blight, two major diseases affecting rice yields.

• Rainfastness: Becomes rainfast relatively quickly, reducing the risk of wash-off by rain.

Target Crops:

• Paddy (Rice)

Target Diseases:

• Blast (Magnaporthe oryzae)

• Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani)

Application:

• Dosage: Varies depending on the disease severity and growth stage of the rice crop. Always refer to the product label for specific recommendations.

• Timing: Can be used as a pre-emergence treatment or applied at the early stages of disease symptoms.

• Method: Apply as a foliar spray, ensuring thorough coverage of the rice foliage.

Safety Precautions:
