Technical Content: Tricyclazole 75% WP Description:
Wiltry 75 WP is recommended for the control of blast disease of rice.
It provides control against blast incidence that occurs at various growth stages of rice crop viz., leaf blast, stem blast, and panicle blast.
Technical Information:
Wiltry 75 WP contains the active ingredient, Tricyclazole, belonging to melanin biosynthesis inhibitors.
Wiltry 75 WP provides the best control of blast at all growth stages.
It has a prophylactic action.
Highly systemic with xylem mobility-good leaf and root uptake
No resistance issues reported to date
Crops:
Rice
Mode of Action:
Tricyclazole inhibits polyhydroxynapthaline reductase enzyme and thus inhibits melanin formation in fungi (Pyricularia grisea).
In the absence of melanin, appressoria fail to produce penetrating hypha or penetration hypha fails to penetrate into host tissue. Hence disease is not allowed to spread.
It does not allow the fungus to establish by preventing its entry into the plant system.
It is highly systemic in action thus it is rapidly gets absorbed by rice leaves and roots and is translocated toward the leaf tip which suggests its xylem transport.
There is also a movement from a treated leaf to non-treated younger leaves.
