Indofil Merger

Indofil Merger – Dual-Action Fungicide for Superior Rice Protection

Indofil Merger is a powerful combination fungicide containing Tricyclazole (18%) and Mancozeb (62%). This dual-action formula offers both systemic and contact protection for crops, making it especially effective in controlling blast, brown leaf spot, and grain discoloration in paddy, along with leaf spot and fruit rot in chili. Additionally, it supplies micronutrients zinc and manganese, promoting greener and healthier plant growth.

Key Characteristics

Active Ingredients:

• Tricyclazole – 18%

• Mancozeb – 62%

Formulation: Wettable Powder (WP)
Mode of Entry: Contact + Systemic
Chemical Class:

• Tricyclazole – Systemic fungicide (melanin biosynthesis inhibitor)

• Mancozeb – Dithiocarbamate class (contact fungicide)

Mode of Action:

• Tricyclazole prevents melanin synthesis in fungal cells, halting the germ tube penetration of rice blast pathogens.

• Mancozeb binds to the sulphahydral (–SH) groups in fungal enzymes, disrupting multiple enzyme systems and metabolic functions.
  Together, they deliver comprehensive and long-lasting disease control.

How Indofil Merger Works

• Tricyclazole penetrates into plant tissues and inhibits fungal spore germination, especially in blast-prone crops like rice.

• Mancozeb, being a surface protectant, prevents a wide range of fungal spores from initiating infections.
  This synergy ensures broad-spectrum disease control across various growth stages of crops.

Water Volume: Use sufficient water (usually 200–300 L/acre) for uniform coverage

Best Practices for Using Indofil Merger

• Apply during early morning or late evening to avoid photodegradation

• Do not mix with alkaline products like lime, sulfur, or Bordeaux mixture

• Repeat application if disease pressure persists or as per agronomic guidance

• Maintain good agricultural practices for disease suppression

Storage & Safety Guidelines

• Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from food and animal feed

• Wear gloves and a mask during mixing and spraying

• Keep out of reach of children and livestock
