How To Use FMC Azaka Duo Fungicide:
Shake the bottle well before measuring — FMC Azaka Duo is an SC formulation that settles on standing.
Measure the required dose of Azaka Duo fungicide as per the crop-wise table above — 0.5–1 ml per litre.
Pre-mix in a small amount of clean water before adding to the sprayer tank.
Fill the tank with the remaining clean water and mix well before spraying.
Apply uniformly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces, stems, and fruit zones — complete coverage ensures the best protective and curative disease control.
Apply preventively before disease symptoms appear during humid and warm weather conditions that favour fungal disease development.
Read the instructions carefully before using FMC Azaka Duo and do not smoke, eat, or drink while applying.
Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Azaka Duo fungicide in the early morning or late evening. For Chilli Anthracnose, begin preventive sprays from the flowering stage when humidity and temperature favour fruit infection. For Wheat Rust, spray at the flag leaf stage for maximum protection during the critical grain-filling period.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply every 15–20 days during active disease pressure. Do not exceed 3 applications per season — always rotate FMC Azaka Duo with fungicides from different FRAC groups after 2 consecutive sprays 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: Azaka Duo fungicide is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar inputs.
