Z-78 Fungicide – Broad-Spectrum Protection with Zinc Nutrition

Managing diverse fungal pathogens while maintaining plant vigor is a primary objective for professional growers. Z-78 Fungicide is a versatile, broad-spectrum protective solution designed to address a wide array of fungal diseases across both field and horticultural crops. Distinguished by its dual-purpose performance, it provides robust disease suppression through multisite action while simultaneously delivering essential zinc nutrition to the plant. This makes it a reliable tool for sustaining crop health and optimizing yields in various agro-climatic conditions.

Technical Characteristics and Features

This fungicide is highly regarded for its efficacy against Alternaria species and other persistent pathogens. Its performance is rooted in its chemical ability to disrupt the metabolic processes of fungi. Key features include:

• Multisite Mode of Action: The formulation inactivates the sulfhydryl (SH) groups in fungal enzymes, providing a broad defensive barrier that makes it significantly harder for pathogens to develop resistance.

• Integrated Zinc Nutrition: As a zinc-based molecule, it provides micronutrient support that often results in darker green foliage and improved plant health.

• Wide Disease Control: Effectively manages a broad spectrum of diseases, including blights, blasts, rusts, downy mildew, leaf spots, and fruit rots.

• High Crop Safety: Formulated to be safe for use on foliage, blossoms, and fruits across a variety of sensitive plant species.

• Favorable Toxicity Profile: Categorized with a "Green Triangle" classification, indicating its suitability for integrated pest management programs with regard to safety standards.

Usage and Application Suitability

Z-78 Fungicide is suitable for an extensive range of agricultural sectors, from cereal production to intensive vegetable farming and orcharding.

• Field Crops: Recommended for paddy (Blast), wheat (Rust and Blight), maize (Leaf Blight), and jowar.

• Vegetables: Widely used on potatoes and tomatoes (Early and Late Blight), chillies (Fruit Rot), onions (Downy Mildew), and cucurbits.

• Fruits: Effective in vineyards (Downy Mildew), apple orchards (Scab), and citrus groves (Greasy Spot).

• Standard Dosage: The typical recommendation is 1500 to 2000 grams per hectare, mixed with 750 to 1000 liters of water for thorough foliar coverage.

For optimal outcomes, applications should be made as a protective spray before disease establishment or at the very first sign of infection.

Operational Reliability and Outcomes

The integration of Z-78 into a regular spray schedule provides agribusinesses with a consistent means of maintaining field hygiene. By addressing both the threat of infection and the nutritional requirements of the crop, it supports the development of healthy, resilient plants. For professional farmers, this fungicide offers a balanced approach to crop protection, ensuring that the quality and quantity of the harvest are preserved through reliable and scientifically backed chemical action
