Product Overview

Tolclofos-methyl is a broad-spectrum, systemic fungicide primarily used for the control of soil-borne fungal diseases, especially Rhizoctonia solani, which causes damping-off, root rot, and stem rot in a wide range of crops. It is particularly effective in crops such as potatoes, lettuce, rice, ornamentals, and turfgrass, where soil pathogens pose a significant threat to healthy plant development.

Tolclofos-methyl is absorbed by plant roots and translocated to other parts of the plant, offering protective and residual action against fungal infections in the early stages of crop growth.

Key Features & Benefits

• Strong activity against soil-borne fungi, particularly Rhizoctonia solani

• Systemic and protective action provides long-lasting disease suppression

• Suitable for seed treatment and soil drenching applications

• Compatible with integrated pest management (IPM) strategies

• Low phytotoxicity when applied as recommended

• Ideal for vegetables, ornamentals, and turf

Primary Target Diseases

• Damping-off (caused by Rhizoctonia solani)

• Root and stem rot

• Black scurf in potatoes

• Seedling blight

• Collar rot in rice and other cereals

Recommended Application Areas

Mode of Action

Tolclofos-methyl inhibits the growth of fungal mycelium by interfering with cell membrane development and energy metabolism. It works by being absorbed through the roots and translocated throughout the plant, where it disrupts the growth of soil-dwelling fungi.

Application Guidelines

• Apply preventatively or at the first sign of disease

• Can be applied via seed treatment, soil drenching, or in-furrow spraying

• Avoid overwatering after application to maintain effectiveness

• Re-treat based on disease pressure and environmental conditions

Usage Rates

• Soil Drenching: 1.5–3 kg/ha depending on crop and soil conditions

• Seed Treatment: 2–3 g/kg seed

• Always follow label directions and consult local agricultural authorities for specific recommendations

Safety & Handling

• Use personal protective equipment during handling

• Store in a cool, dry place away from children and animals

• Avoid contamination of water bodies – toxic to aquatic organisms

• Dispose of empty containers in accordance with local regulations
