🔬 Technical Specifications

⚙️ How It Works (Dual Mode of Action)

Ridomil Gold offers a unique two-pronged defense system against fungal pathogens:

• 🛡️ Protective Shield (Mancozeb - Contact Action): Mancozeb remains on the leaf surface, forming a strong, weather-resistant barrier. It inhibits spore germination, preventing the fungus from entering the plant in the first place.

  
  

• 🩺 Deep Healing (Metalaxyl-M - Systemic Action): Metalaxyl-M is rapidly absorbed by the leaves and roots and travels upward (acropetally) through the plant sap. It attacks the fungus from the inside out by stopping its growth and reproduction, curing any existing hidden infections.

✨ Key Features & Benefits

• ✅ Ultimate Disease Control: Highly specialized for controlling tough soil-borne and foliar diseases like Late Blight, Downy Mildew, and Damping Off.

  
  

• 🌧️ Excellent Rainfastness: Once absorbed (usually within 1-2 hours), it won't wash away in the rain, providing reliable protection in unpredictable weather.

• 🌱 Built-In Nutrition: The Mancozeb component is rich in Manganese and Zinc, which acts as a nutritional boost (phytotonic effect), leaving crops greener and more vigorous.

• 🛑 Prevents Resistance: The multi-site action of Mancozeb combined with the targeted action of Metalaxyl-M prevents fungi from developing resistance to the chemical.

  
  

• ⏳ Long-Lasting: Provides extended protection for up to 10-14 days per application.

📋 Recommended Crops, Target Diseases & Dosage

Standard Mixing Ratio: * 400 to 600 grams per Acre (depending on crop and disease severity)

• 2 to 2.5 grams per Liter of water

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

🚜 Application Guidelines

1. Mixing: Make a thick paste of the required powder with a small amount of water first, then add it to the main spray tank (150 to 200 liters of water per acre) and stir continuously.

2. Preventative Spray: For best results, spray before disease symptoms appear, especially when weather conditions (high humidity, cloudy days) favor fungal growth.

3. Application Methods: * Foliar Spray: Ensure uniform coverage on both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves.

   • Soil Drenching/Nursery: Can be applied directly to the soil or nursery beds to prevent root rot and damping-off.

4. Repeat Application: Re-apply every 10 to 14 days if disease pressure remains high.

🛡️ Safety Precautions

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

• Keep away from open water sources, as fungicides can be toxic to aquatic life.

• Store in a cool, dry place securely away from children, pets, and food items.
