Indofil M-45 fungicide is a broad-spectrum contact fungicide used for protecting many crops from fungal diseases. It works by destroying vital groups in the fungal enzyme. Indofil M-45 fungicide is useful in field crops, fruits, vegetables, spices, and plantation crops. M-45 Fungicide helps manage early blight, late blight, downy mildew, leaf spot, rust, anthracnose, tikka disease, blast, and fruit rot.

Indofil M-45 Fungicide Dose:
Use Indofil M-45 fungicide as a foliar spray, seed treatment, or nursery drench based on crop and disease stage. M-45 Fungicide dose per litre is generally 3 to 4 gm per litre of water, based on 600 to 800 gm per acre in 200 litres of water. For seed treatment, use 2.5 gm per kg of seed. M-45 Fungicide should be sprayed evenly because contact fungicides protect only the surface where the spray reaches.

How to Use Indofil M-45 Fungicide:
Measure the required quantity of Indofil M-45 fungicide as per crop, disease, and water volume.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Mix the measured M-45 Fungicide quantity in a small amount of water first to make a smooth slurry.
Add this slurry into the spray tank and stir well.
Add the remaining water and keep the solution well mixed.
Spray Indofil M-45 fungicide uniformly on leaves, stems, fruits, and disease-prone crop parts.
Cover both upper and lower leaf surfaces for better protection.
Apply M-45 Fungicide before disease becomes severe.
For seed treatment, coat seed uniformly and dry it in shade before sowing.
For nursery drenching, apply only as per crop-stage guidance.
Avoid spraying during strong wind, rainfall, or very hot afternoon weather.
Use the prepared Indofil M-45 fungicide spray solution on the same day.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Indofil M-45 fungicide when weather becomes cloudy, humid, or disease-favourable, or when early disease symptoms are noticed. M-45 Fungicide works better as a preventive spray because it protects the crop surface from fresh infection. Morning or evening spraying is better for better coverage and lower spray loss. Avoid using Indofil M-45 fungicide when rain is expected soon after spraying.
Frequency of Application and Re-entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One timely M-45 Fungicide spray can protect the crop during early disease pressure. Repeat Indofil M-45 fungicide only if disease pressure continues and label guidance allows it.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the sprayed field for at least 24 hours after M-45 Fungicide application without protective gear.
Compatibility: Indofil M-45 fungicide can fit into many spray programs, but avoid mixing with unknown products, strong alkaline products, or oil-based sprays without a jar test.
Application Care: M-45 Fungicide performs better when spray coverage is complete because it works mainly by contact action.
Resistance Care: Rotate Indofil M-45 fungicide with other suitable fungicide groups and use it as part of a planned disease-management program.
State Restriction: M-45 Fungicide is restricted in Kerala state. Follow local rules before purchase or field use.
