How To Use Adama Shamir Fungicide:
Shake the bottle well before measuring. Adama Shamir Fungicide is an SC formulation that requires uniform mixing.
Measure the required dose of Shamir 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, young shoots, flower trusses, and developing fruit — for complete coverage.
Apply preventively before disease appears, particularly during warm, humid, or wet weather when Apple Scab and Chilli Anthracnose infection risk is highest.
Apply during early morning or late evening — avoid spraying in midday heat or when rain is expected within 3–4 hours.
Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Shamir fungicide in the early morning or late evening. For Apple, begin preventive sprays at the green tip or pink bud stage — the most critical Apple Scab infection window in the season. For Chilli, begin sprays from flowering when humidity and temperature conditions favour Anthracnose and Fruit Rot.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply every 10–14 days during periods of high disease pressure. Do not exceed 3–4 applications per season — rotate Adama Shamir Fungicide with products from different FRAC groups after 2 consecutive applications to prevent resistance development.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: This is compatible with most fungicides and insecticides. Avoid mixing with 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 Shamir Fungicide.
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.
Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of per local waste guidelines.
