Product Overview:

Tricyclazole is a specialized systemic fungicide designed primarily for the control of rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae), one of the most damaging fungal diseases affecting rice crops globally. It functions by inhibiting melanin biosynthesis in the fungal cell wall, which is critical for the pathogen’s infection mechanism.

With both preventive and curative action, Tricyclazole is rapidly absorbed by rice plants and translocated systemically to protect new growth, providing long-lasting and reliable disease control.

Key Features & Benefits:

✅ Highly effective against leaf blast, neck blast, and panicle blast in rice
✅ Systemic movement allows full-plant protection
✅ Fast absorption and quick rainfastness
✅ Ideal for both preventive and early curative treatment
✅ Low application rates, high efficacy, and crop safety
✅ Supports higher yields and better grain quality

Target Diseases:

• Rice Blast (Leaf blast, Node blast, Neck blast)

• Effective against fungal pathogens dependent on melanin for infection

Recommended Crop Use:

• Primary Crop: Paddy Rice

• May be evaluated for use in similar blast-prone cereal crops (where locally approved)

Application Guidelines:

Note: Always follow label instructions and local agricultural guidelines.

Mode of Action:

Tricyclazole inhibits melanin biosynthesis in fungal cell walls, which is essential for the development of appressoria (infection structures). By preventing melanin production, Tricyclazole disrupts the pathogen’s ability to infect the plant, offering targeted, efficient, and reliable blast control.

Storage & Handling:

• Store in a cool, dry, and ventilated location

• Keep away from food, feed, and water sources

• Shelf life: 2 years in original, unopened packaging

• Use protective equipment when handling the product

Toxicity & Safety:

• Low mammalian toxicity, but handle with standard safety precautions

• Non-phytotoxic when used as directed

• Moderate toxicity to aquatic organisms – avoid contamination of water bodies

• Wear gloves and mask during mixing and application

Environmental Impact:

Tricyclazole is relatively selective and has minimal effects on non-target organisms when used appropriately. To avoid resistance buildup, it is recommended to rotate with fungicides of different modes of action as part of an Integrated Disease Management (IDM) program.
