Syngenta Filia – Dual-Action Systemic Fungicide for Powerful Blast Control in Rice

🔬 Active Ingredients & Formulation

Syngenta Filia is a high-performance systemic fungicide formulated with two proven active ingredients—Tricyclazole and Propiconazole—to deliver strong, long-lasting protection against blast diseases in rice. Because of its dual modes of action, it effectively stops infection, halts further disease development, and safeguards crop yield during critical growth stages.

⚙️ Mode of Action of Syngenta Filia

🔬 1. Tricyclazole – Melanin Biosynthesis Inhibitor

• Blocks melanin formation in fungal spores

• Prevents spore germination and penetration into plant tissue

• Offers strong preventive protection against blast

🔬 2. Propiconazole – DMI (Demethylation Inhibitor)

• Interferes with ergosterol biosynthesis

• Weakens fungal cell membranes

• Provides curative action on early infections

🔄 Systemic Movement

Both actives are absorbed and translocated, providing internal protection across leaves, stems, and panicles.
