MELODY DUO FUNGICIDE
Iprovalicarb + Propineb 6675 WP (5.5% +61.25% w/w)
Melody Duo is a modern fungicide containing the two active ingredients Iprovalicarb and Propineb. It provides excellent control of a broad range of fungal species from Oomcytes class (e. g.Plasmosporaviticola, Phytophthora spp., Pseudoperonospora spp., Peronospora spp.) with high plant compatibility. The major crops in which Melody duo can be effectively used are those in which Downy mildew and Late blight are economically damaging viz. grapes and potato.
Mode of Action :
Iprovalicarb is a protective, curative and antisporulant fungicide with translaminar and acropetal mode of action. It gets distributed evenly in plants. It is an inhibitor of phospholipid biosynthesis and cell wall synthesis. Propineb is a non-specific, multi-site fungicide with protective action against germinating conidia. It works as a good curative and anti-sporulant on disease causing pathogens.
Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC) Classification No.Iprovalicarb 40; Propineb M 3
