How To Use Adama Custodia Fungicide:
Shake the bottle well before measuring. Adama Custodia is an SC formulation that settles on standing.
Measure the required dose of Custodia fungicide as per the crop-wise dose table above.
Pre-mix in a small amount of clean water before adding to the sprayer tank.
Fill the tank with the remaining clean water and agitate well before spraying.
Spray evenly on all plant parts — upper and lower leaf surfaces, stems, and panicles or fruit zones — for complete protective and curative coverage.
Apply preventively before disease appears during humid, overcast, or warm-wet weather when fungal infection pressure is highest.
Spray during early morning or late evening — avoid midday heat and do not spray when rain is expected within 3–4 hours.
Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Custodia fungicide in the early morning or late evening. For Paddy Blast, begin preventive sprays at the tillering and panicle initiation stages. For Chilli and Onion, apply from the vegetative stage onward when humid conditions favour disease spread. For Apple, apply from the first green tissue stage to protect young leaves and fruitlets.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply every 15–20 days during active disease pressure. Do not exceed 2–3 applications per season — always rotate Adama Custodia with products from different FRAC groups after 2 consecutive sprays to prevent resistance build-up.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Custodia fungicide is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides. Avoid strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar inputs.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Adama Custodia.
Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or application.
Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes — rinse immediately with clean water for 15 minutes if contact occurs.
Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields for at least 24 hours.
Wash all exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water after every spray session.
