🔬 Technical Specifications

⚙️ How It Works (Mode of Action)

Antracol is a protective contact fungicide with a unique multi-site mode of action. It does not enter the plant tissue but rather remains on the leaf surface to form a tough chemical barrier.

• 🛑 Spore Germination Inhibitor: When fungal spores land on the treated leaves, Antracol interferes with their cellular respiration and multiple enzyme pathways simultaneously, completely preventing the spores from germinating and infecting the plant.

  
  

• ⚡ Multi-Site Defense: Because it attacks the fungus at multiple points, fungi are highly unlikely to develop resistance to it.

  
  

✨ Key Features & Benefits

• ✅ Dual Action (Protection + Nutrition): Antracol is formulated with easily available Zinc (15.7%). While fighting diseases, it simultaneously corrects Zinc deficiency in the soil, leading to a visible "phytotonic effect" (greener, more vigorous plants and better fruit quality).

  
  

• 🌧️ Superior Rainfastness: Once the spray dries, it forms a fine, highly adhesive layer on the leaf surface that resists washing away in the rain.

  
  

• 🛑 Excellent Resistance Management: Due to its multi-site action, it is the perfect fungicide to use in rotation programs to prevent fungi from developing resistance to systemic fungicides.

  
  

• 🌱 Extremely Crop Safe: Highly compatible and safe for a wide variety of crops, including sensitive fruits and vegetables, at any growth stage.

📋 Recommended Crops, Target Diseases & Dosage

Standard Mixing Ratio: * 600 to 800 grams per Acre (depending on crop and foliage density)

• 2.5 to 3 grams per Liter of water

• 40 to 45 grams per standard 15-Liter Knapsack Sprayer

💡 PRO-TIP: Antracol is a preventative contact fungicide. For the absolute best results, it should be sprayed before the disease appears or at the very first sign of favorable disease weather (cloudy, humid conditions).

🚜 Application Guidelines

1. Mixing: Make a uniform paste by mixing the required amount of Antracol powder with a small quantity of water. Add this paste to the main spray tank containing 150 to 200 liters of clean water per acre and stir well.

2. Thorough Coverage: Since it is a contact fungicide, complete and uniform coverage of both the upper and lower leaf surfaces is crucial for total protection.

   
   

3. Equipment: Use a knapsack sprayer fitted with a hollow cone nozzle for a fine mist.

4. Tank Mixing: It is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and plant growth regulators.

🛡️ Safety Precautions

• Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as a mask, gloves, and protective clothing to avoid inhaling the fine powder during mixing.

  
  

• Spray during the cooler hours of the day (early morning or late afternoon).

• Store in a cool, dry place securely out of reach of children, pets, and food items.
