| Crop | Disease | Dosage | Water | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | Downy Mildew | 0.24% or 240g / 100L water | As required | 15 |
| Other Crops (Potato/Tomato) | Late Blight | Refer to label (Typical use involves tank mixing with contact fungicides). | ||
Application Note: Dosage for Grapes is 240g per 100 Liters of water (0.24% concentration). Water volume depends on crop stage and equipment.
Application Instructions
1. Timing
Apply within 2–3 days of disease appearance for curative action. Cymoxanil has a short residual life (3-5 days), so precise timing is critical.
2. Tank Mixing
It is highly recommended to use Cymoxanil with a compatible contact fungicide (like Mancozeb or Copper) to extend the duration of protection and manage resistance.
Safety Precautions
Warning: Wear personal protective equipment (gloves, mask, goggles). Do not harvest crops before the specified Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI). Safe for most crops but avoid applying to stressed plants.
