BAAN FUNGICIDE

Technical Name: Tricyclazole 75% WP

• This is a specialty blasticide for Rice blast disease control, especially neck blast. For effective control of the blast disease on leaves and panicle, application at right time and at right dose is must.

• It not only controls blast but significantly improves grain quality, grain shining, grain weight (yield) and reduces milling losses.

Specification:

Molecular Formula	C9H7N3S
Mode of Action	It is a specialty systemic fungicide. The product is rapidly absorbed by rice plant and translocated towards leaf tips. It is a protectant fungicide that prevents the fungus from penetrating the plant. Inhibition occurs when the fungus attempts to penetrate and establish an infection site inside the plant. In rice blast, the melanin pigment is needed for the hardening of the appressorium and inhibition of the pigment formation in appressorium makes it unable to mechanically penetrate the host plant.
Special Features	The best Blasticide available in market Long duration control of Rice Blast for more than two weeks Very stable fungicide- not readily destroyed by sunlight and moisture Upon absorption, it is systemically translocated in plant tissues, protect the entire plant from disease infection Absorbed/ translocated fast in plant-need not spray again if it rains 1 hour after application Improves grain yield, results in superior grain quality, which are heavier, shiny and upon milling gives highest recovery of full size grains
Application	It should be applied as preventive spray starting from Nursery till grain filling. Application of Baan in nursery is subject to appearance of blast symptoms. After transplanting, first application against leaf blast should commence at tillering stage & second at 5% panicle emergence stage for effective control of blast disease.
Compatibility	It is compatible with commonly used pesticides. It is not compatible with lime sulphur and Bordeaux mixture or alkaline solutions. It is advisable to conduct a physical compatibility test before used in combination with other molecules.
Phytotoxicity	Phytotoxicity has not been reported, when used as recommended.
Dosage:	1 gm/liter
