SAFEX ACHOOK (CAPTAN 70 % +HEXACONAZOLE 5 % WP) (FUNGICIDE)

Fungal spores carry the future fungus in resistant structures for survival under harsh conditions. Thus, it is difficult to target the fungus in this dormant state.

When spores germinate and lose their dormancy, they lose their extreme resistance and become relatively easy to kill. Preventive fungicides target this stage of Fungi.

Achook is a broad-spectrum fungicide, with contact and systemic action, that is successful in managing Powdery mildew, Anthracnose, late blight, early blight, downy mildew & grey mildew diseases on fruits & vegetables, and various other crops.

Mode of Action

Achook is a non-specific thiol reactant with protective and curative action that works by inhibiting the respiration of the fungi. Hexaconazole is a systemic ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor, thereby controls the growth and reproduction of plant fungal pathogens.
