Strobilurin Fungicide
METOMINOSTROBIN 20% SC
A strobilurin fungicide providing broad-spectrum disease control with excellent systemic and translaminar movement. It offers both protective and curative properties, along with additional plant health benefits including enhanced photosynthesis and stress tolerance.
Active: Metominostrobin
Formulation: SC (Suspension Concentrate)
Action: Systemic & Curative
Product Information
Mode of Action
Metominostrobin inhibits mitochondrial respiration by blocking electron transfer at the Qo site of Complex III (cytochrome bc1 complex). This prevents ATP synthesis, leading to rapid energy depletion and cessation of fungal growth. It also enhances nitrogen metabolism and stress tolerance in the plant.
Target Diseases
- Rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae)
- Sheath blight (Rhizoctonia solani)
- Powdery mildew
- Downy mildew
- Leaf spots & Anthracnose
Key Benefits
Physiological benefits include enhanced greening and improved nitrogen use efficiency, contributing to higher yields.
Recommended Dosage
| Crop | Disease Targets | Dosage (ml/Ha) | Water (L/Ha) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | Rice Blast, Sheath Blight | 300 – 400 | 500 |
| Vegetables | Powdery Mildew, Leaf Spots, Downy Mildew | 300 – 400 | 500 |
| Fruits | Mildews, Anthracnose | 300 – 400 | 500 |
| Cereals | Rust, Leaf Spots | 300 – 400 | 500 |
Dosage Note: The recommended rate is 300 to 400 ml per hectare diluted in 500 Liters of water.
Application Instructions
1. Timing
Apply preventively or at the very early stages of disease detection. Its systemic nature helps protect new growth, but early intervention is key for maximum efficacy.
2. Frequency
Repeat applications every 10-14 days depending on disease pressure. Adjust the interval based on weather conditions (humidity/rain).
Safety Precautions
Resistance Management: Metominostrobin is a Group 11 (QoI) fungicide. Resistance risk is high if used repeatedly. Always rotate with fungicides from different groups (e.g., Triazoles) to preserve its effectiveness.
