IPL Mox is a powerful fungicide that contains Cymoxanil 50% WP, which works by inhibiting fungal cell division, spore germination, and mycelial growth. The IPL Mox fungicide offers strong protection as it can be used as a preventive and curative application. This IPL Mox fungicide is also effective against diseases like Downy Mildew, Late Blight, Early Blight, and Damping Off, as it offers targeted protection against Oomycete pathogens.
Key Features and Benefits of IPL Mox Fungicide:
Quick Absorption: IPL Mox is absorbed easily when applied as it penetrates the leaves quickly, showing rapid results.
Dual Application: This Cymoxanil 50% WP formula can be used as a preventive and curative measure, making it highly effective.
Targeted Protection: IPL Mox fungicide is specially effective against fungal diseases like downy mildew and late blight.
Residual Activity: This fungicide offers great residual activity for longer protection while working systematically to eliminate diseases.
Multi-Use: This Cymoxanil 50% WP formula can be used for crops like grapes, tomato, potato, and more, making it highly effective.
IPL Mox Uses — What Does It Control?
It targets Oomycete and related fungal diseases across all registered crops:
Downy Mildew: Grapes, Cucumbers, Onion, Lettuce — caused by Peronospora and Plasmopara spp.
Late Blight: Potato, Tomato — caused by Phytophthora infestans
Early Blight: Tomato, Potato — supporting action alongside contact fungicides
Damping Off: Seedling stage across vegetables and cucurbits
IPL Mox Fungicide Dose — Crop-Wise Recommended Dose:
This fungicide Dose Per Litre is 0.48–0.56 gm per litre of water (0.048–0.056% concentration) for most crops when used as a standalone or tank mix spray.
Crop | Target Disease | Dose Per 100 Litres | Per 15L Pump | PHI |
Grapes | Downy Mildew | 240 gm per 100 litres (0.24%) | 36 gm | 15 days |
Potato | Late Blight | 150–250 gm per 100 litres | 22–37 gm | 7 days |
Tomato | Early and Late Blight | 150–250 gm per 100 litres | 22–37 gm | 7 days |
Cucurbits | Downy Mildew | 150–200 gm per 100 litres | 22–30 gm | 3 days |
Onion | Downy Mildew | 150–200 gm per 100 litres | 22–30 gm | 7 days |
Note: Always mix Cymoxanil 50% WP with a compatible contact fungicide such as Mancozeb 75% WP or Copper-based fungicide for longer residual protection and resistance management.
How To Use IPL Mox Fungicide:
Measure the required dose of fungicide as per the crop-wise dose table above.
Pre-mix the measured quantity in a small amount of clean water to form a smooth slurry before adding to the sprayer tank.
Fill the tank with the remaining clean water and mix well.
If tank-mixing with Mancozeb or Copper fungicide, add each product separately and stir well between additions.
Spray evenly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces — thorough coverage is critical for systemic penetration and contact action.
Apply at the very first sign of disease, or preventively when conditions of high humidity and moderate temperature favour Downy Mildew or Late Blight development.
Apply during cool hours — early morning or late evening — for best absorption.
Rinse the sprayer tank thoroughly with clean water after use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply this fungicide in the early morning or late evening. For curative action, apply within 2–3 days of disease appearance. For preventive use, spray when humid or rainy weather conditions favour Oomycete infection — do not wait for visible symptoms to appear.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply every 7–10 days when disease pressure is high. Do not apply more than 3–4 times per season with Cymoxanil 50% WP as a standalone product; always rotate with fungicides from a different FRAC group after 2–3 applications to prevent resistance build-up.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: IPL Mox fungicide is highly compatible with Mancozeb 75% WP and Copper-based contact fungicides. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar products.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying IPL Mox 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 use.
Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of per local waste guidelines.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) — IPL Mox fungicide:
Q1. What is IPL Mox used for?
IPL Mox fungicide is used to control Downy Mildew and Late Blight in Grapes, Potato, Tomato, Cucurbits, and Onion. Cymoxanil 50% WP penetrates leaf tissue rapidly, providing both preventive protection and curative kick-back action up to 2–3 days after initial infection has begun.
Q2. How does Cymoxanil 50% WP work differently from contact fungicides?
Unlike contact fungicides that sit on the leaf surface, Cymoxanil 50% WP is absorbed into the plant within minutes of application. It reaches fungal infections already inside the leaf tissue, inhibiting spore germination and halting mycelium growth from within.
Q3. Why should IPL Mox fungicide be tank-mixed with a contact fungicide?
This fungicide has a short residual activity of 3–5 days, sufficient for rapid knockdown but not for extended field protection. Mixing with a contact fungicide like Mancozeb or Copper extends the protective period, covers the surface while Cymoxanil 50% WP works systemically inside the tissue, and reduces the risk of resistance development through dual-mode action.
Q4. How quickly does IPL Mox start working after application?
IPL Mox begins working within hours of application. Cymoxanil is one of the fastest-penetrating fungicide actives available, absorbed into leaf tissue within 30–60 minutes of spraying. Fungal growth and mycelium spread are halted shortly after the product reaches active infection sites inside the leaf.
Q5. Can Cymoxanil 50% WP develop resistance with repeated use?
Yes. Like all FRAC Group 27 fungicides, Cymoxanil 50% WP carries a medium-to-high resistance risk if used repeatedly as a sole treatment. Always rotate IPL Mox fungicide with products from different FRAC groups after 2–3 consecutive applications, and use it as part of a tank mix with contact fungicides to manage resistance build-up across the season.
