Fungicides are chemical or biological agents used to prevent or eliminate fungal infections in plants, animals, and humans. They play a crucial role in agriculture by protecting crops from diseases caused by fungi, which can significantly reduce yield and quality.
Types of Fungicides:
1. Contact Fungicides: These remain on the surface of plants and prevent fungal spores from germinating.
2. Systemic Fungicides: Absorbed by the plant, these move through its tissues to combat existing infections.
3. Protective Fungicides: Applied before infection occurs to prevent fungal growth.
4. Curative Fungicides: Used after infection to stop the spread of fungi.
Common fungicides include sulfur-based compounds, copper-based solutions, and synthetic chemicals like azoxystrobin and carbendazim. Some organic options, such as neem oil and bicarbonates, are also used in sustainable farming.

Mode of Action :The fungus Ampelomycesquisqualis is a naturally occurring hyper parasite of W.P.y mildews. This parasitism reduces growth and may kill the mildew colony, the micro parasite directly penetrate the walls of hypahe, conidiophores and immature cleastothesia, but may be unable to infect mature cleastothesia. Approximately in 7 -10 days, microparasites spread within the hyhae the mildew colony without killing it. Thereafter, the process of pycnidial formation begins and complete within 2 – 4 days, infected cells generally die soon after pycnidial formation begins. Repeated applications of the micro parasite are generally necessary and high humidity and rain fall aid in spread to developing mildews colonies. In adverse climatic condition i.e. low humidity & low temperature /pycnidial which will be produced from the infected mildew are more resistant and persist in the environment for relatively long period at least into next season. These in turn may give rise to viable spore when condition becomes favorable again.
Target Crops :Wide range of W.P.y mildew affected crops like Cucurbits, Grapes, Apple, Peas, Beans, Tomato, Pulses, Cumin, Chilies, Coriander, Mango, Ber, Peas, Strawberry, Medicinal and Aromatic crops and Roses.
Target Disease : Mainly W.P.y mildew but also parasitic on Botrytis cinerea, Alternariasolani, Colletotrichum, Coccodes and Cladosporiumcucumerinum.
Method of Application and Dosage :
Foliar Application : At the time of emergence of disease, dissolved 5 - 10 ml MILGO per litr of water and give 2 to 3 sprays on the standing crop at 10 -15 days interval.
Compatibility :
Compatible with organic manures and bio-fertilizers.
Don’t mix with chemical fungicide.
It can be used alternatively with insecticides.
Avoid mixing with Bordeaux mixture, antibiotic and streptocycling
Mode of Action : The hyphae of Trichoderma wrap around the pathogen fungi and produce antibiotics and extracellular enzymes, which lyses the cell wall of these pathogens that damage them. The invading fungus eventually collapse and disintegrates.
Effective Against Diseases : It is a natural bio-fungicide, highly effective in controlling wide range of soil borne crops disease caused by Fusarium, Charcoal rot, Black scurf, Karnal bunt, Silver leaf of plum & peach, Rhizoctonia, Pythium, Schlerolims, Verticillium, Alternaria, fungal pathogen.
Method of Application and Dosage :
Seed Treatment - Mix 8 10 gm. SANJEEVNI in 50 ml. of water and applied on 1 kg of seed uniformly. Shade dry the seeds for 20 30 minutes before sowing
Seedlings Treatment Dissolve 500 gm. W.P SANJEEVNI in 50 lit. of water, Dip seedling roots for about half an hour in the suspension and transplant immediately.
Nursery seed bed Treatment Mix 500 gm SANJEEVNI in 10 kg of well decomposed FYM/Compost/Vermi compost and broadcast in 400 Sq.mt. area and incorporate in soil up to 15 20 cm depth.
Soil Drenching Through Drip Irrigation Mix 1. 2 kg W.P SANJEEVNI in 100 lit. of water and drench the soil in 1 acre.
Horticulture crops Mix 25 50 gm. SANJEEVNI per plant in sufficient quantity of well decomposed FYM/Vermi compost/Compost/field soil and apply the mixture in effective root zone of fruit tree.
Compatibility :
Compatible with organic manures and bio-fertilizers.
Don’t mix with chemical fungicides.
It can be used alternatively with insecticides & bactericide.
Growth Promotion Activity : Suppress soil borne diseases caused by pathogens and promote seed germination and plant growth.
Mode of Action : Pseudomonas fluorescens is found to suppress the soil borne diseases caused by pathogens they are well adopted in soil and foliar spray, enhance plant growth and yield and reduced severity of diseases. Pseudomonas are antagonistic to foliar or rhizospheree bacteria and fungi through the production of siderophores and antibiotics. They help in uptake of nutrient and also produce plant growth promoting substances. Iron chelating siderophore antibiotic, hydrogen cyanide and lytic enzymes (Cellulase, Chitnase and protease) produced by pseudomonas are directly involved in the reduction of plant pathogen and induce plant resistance.
Target Diseases : Highly effective to control the Root rot, Stem rot, Collar Rot, Wilt, Blights, Leaf spots, Anthracnose, Alternaria and Downy & W.P.y mildews crop diseases.
Method of Application and Dosage :
Seed Treatment :Mix 8 -10 gm. PHASAL RAKSHAK In 50 ml of water and applied on 1 kg of seed uniformly. Shade dry the seeds for 20 -30 minutes before sowing.
Seedlings Treatment : Dissolve 500 gm. W.P PHASAL RAKSHAK in 50 lit. of water, Dip seedling root for about half an hour in The suspension and transplant immediately.
Nursery Seed Bed Preparation : Mix 500 gm. PHASAL RAKSHAK in 10 kg of well decomposed FYM/compost/Vermicompost and broadcast in 400 Sq.mt. areas, incorporate in soil up to15 -20 cm depth.
Drip Irrigation : Mix 1 -2 kg W.P PHASAL RAKSHAK in 100 lit. of water and drench the soil in 1 acre
Horticulture/Vegetable Crops Mix 500 gm. W.P PHASAL RAKSHAK in 100 lit .of water and drench the soil near the root zone up to 15 -20 cm depth for collar rot control with high volume sprayer without Nozzler or big Nozzler.
Mix 25 -50 gm. PHASAL RAKSHAK per plant in sufficient quantity of FYM/Vermin compost/Soil of the field and broadcast in the active root zone of the fruit crop.
