Valipro Fungicide - Validamycin 3% L

Valipro is an antibiotic fungicide containing Validamycin 3% L, derived through fermentation technology. It directly attacks the fungal hyphae, causing abnormal branching at the tips of the pathogen and stopping its further development completely. Valipro is the most trusted and widely recommended solution for Sheath Blight in Paddy, one of the most yield-damaging diseases in rice cultivation across India. It is safe for crops and the environment, compatible with most insecticides and fungicides, and is an excellent fit for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Available in multiple pack sizes, Validamycin 3% L is an affordable and reliable disease management solution for Paddy farmers across India.

Validamycin 3% L Dose — Crop Wise Recommended Dose:

Mix Valipro in 200 litres of water per acre for foliar spray. Apply Validamycin 3% L at the first sign of disease or at the maximum tillering stage for best results.

How To Use Valipro — Application Instructions:

1. Measure the required dose of Valipro as per the dosage table.

2. Fill the sprayer halfway with clean water.

3. Add the required quantity of Valipro and fill with the remaining water.

4. Stir well to form a uniform solution.

5. Spray evenly and thoroughly — ensure coverage reaches the base and lower sheaths of the plant.

6. Apply a second spray 10–14 days after the first if disease pressure continues.

7. Rinse the sprayer with clean water after use.

Best Time to Apply:

Spray Validamycin 3% L at the maximum tillering stage (40–50 days after transplanting) or as soon as the first signs of Sheath Blight appear — early application prevents the disease from spreading upward to the flag leaf.

Frequency of Application & Re-Entry Period:

• Frequency of Application: Apply at the first sign of disease. Repeat after 10–14 days if disease pressure continues. Two sprays per season are generally sufficient for effective control.

• Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.

• Tank-mix Compatibility: Compatible with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides, including Cartap and Flubendiamide. Do not mix with alkaline chemicals like Bordeaux mixture. Always do a jar test before mixing.

Safety Precautions & Handling:

• Wear full protective gear, including gloves, goggles, and a face mask, before handling.

• Do not eat, drink, or smoke during mixing or spraying.

• Wash all exposed skin with soap and water right after use.

• Keep children, pets, and livestock away from treated fields for 24 hours.

• Toxic to fish and aquatic organisms — avoid spraying near ponds, rivers, or fish farms.

• Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and discard as per local waste guidelines.
