APPLICATIONS
Biochemistry Inhibitor of trehalase, an enzyme which mediates the digestion of the carbohydrate trehalose and transport of glucose to the hyphals tips. Mode of action Non-systemic antibiotic with fungistatic action. Causes abnormal branching of the tips of the pathogen, followed by cessation of further development. Uses Control of Rhizoctonia solani in rice, potatoes, vegetables, strawberries, tobacco, ginger and other crops; damping-off diseases of cotton, rice and sugar beet, etc. Applied as a foliar spray, soil drench, seed dressing, or by soil incorporation, at 1.25-1.56 g/ha (liquid), 9-12 g/ha (DL formulation), and 0.090 mg/kg (DL or seed dressing). Formulation types [DL]; DP; DS; SL; Liquid. Selected products: 'Validacin' (Sumitomo Chemical Takeda); 'Mycin' (Sanonda); 'Rhizocin' (Nagarjuna Agrichem); 'Vivadamy' (Vipesco)
