PI Kitazin fungicide is a systemic fungicide mainly used for disease management in paddy crops. This fungicide offers a systemic mode of action that works by inhibiting chitin biosynthesis and synthase activity, leading to cell wall disruption. It also interferes with phospholipid biosynthesis, halting spore germination. PI Kitazin fungicide is useful when the weather is humid, cloudy, or favourable for paddy disease spread. This fungicide offers versatile application as it can be applied as a preventive and curative application.
Key Features and Benefits of Kitazin Fungicide:
Systemic Control: PI Kitazin fungicide moves inside treated plant parts and helps manage fungal infection from within the crop.
Dual Application: This fungicide can be used as a preventive and curative application, making it highly versatile.
Targeted Protection: PI Kitazin fungicide is especially useful for blast and sheath blight management in rice fields.
Useful Rotation Product: PI Kitazin fungicide can be included in fungicide rotation programs to support better resistance management.
Kitazin Fungicide Uses:
Paddy Blast: PI Kitazin fungicide helps manage blast disease that causes spindle-shaped spots on leaves and can affect crop growth.
Sheath Blight: It supports control of sheath blight, which commonly starts near the lower canopy and spreads upward.
Early Fungal Infection: PI Kitazin fungicide is useful when fungal symptoms are first noticed, and disease pressure is still manageable.
Humid Weather Protection: Kitazin fungicide supports crop protection during cloudy and humid weather conditions when fungal disease risk is high.
Paddy Crop Health: This helps protect leaves, tillers, and sheath areas from disease-related weakness.
PI Kitazin Fungicide Dose:
Use it as a foliar spray with clean water. Kitazin Fungicide dose is generally 2 ml per litre of water, or a 0.20% solution. For acre use, it may be used at around 400 ml per acre when mixed in about 200 litres of water. PI Kitazin fungicide should be sprayed uniformly on the paddy canopy so the solution reaches leaves, sheaths, and lower crop areas where disease may start.
Crop | Target Disease | Dose per Acre | Application Method | PHI |
Paddy / Rice | Blast | ~400 ml | Foliar spray with full canopy coverage | 15 days |
Paddy / Rice | Sheath blight | ~400 ml | Spray toward lower canopy and sheath area | 15 days |
Paddy / Rice | Early fungal disease pressure | ~400 ml | Foliar spray during early disease stage | 15 days |
Paddy / Rice | Disease-favourable weather protection | ~400 ml | Uniform spray with clean water | 15 days |
How to Use PI Kitazin Fungicide:
Measure the required PI Kitazin fungicide quantity as per spray tank size and field area.
Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water.
Mix the measured Kitazin fungicide quantity in a small amount of water first.
Add this prepared solution into the main spray tank.
Add the remaining water and stir the spray mixture properly.
Spray PI Kitazin fungicide uniformly on the crop canopy.
Cover upper leaves, lower leaves, sheaths, and tiller areas properly.
For sheath blight, direct Kitazin fungicide spray toward the lower crop canopy.
For blast, cover the leaf surface and young crop growth evenly.
Apply PI Kitazin fungicide when early symptoms appear or when weather favours disease.
Avoid spraying it during strong wind, rainfall, or very hot afternoon weather.
Use the prepared PI Kitazin fungicide spray solution on the same day.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply PI Kitazin fungicide when blast or sheath blight symptoms are first noticed in the paddy field. Kitazin fungicide works better when disease pressure is low to moderate, and the crop is still actively growing. Morning or evening spray is better because spray loss is lower and crop stress is reduced. PI Kitazin fungicide should not be sprayed on wilted, drought-stressed, or waterlogged crops.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: One timely Kitazin fungicide spray can help manage early disease pressure. Repeat only if disease continues and label guidance allows it.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter the treated field for at least 24 hours after application without protective gear.
Compatibility: PI Kitazin fungicide should not be mixed with unknown pesticides, fertilizers, micronutrients, or alkaline products without a jar test.
Application Care: This fungicide gives better results when spray coverage reaches disease-prone areas like leaves, sheaths, and lower canopy.
Resistance Care: Rotate PI Kitazin fungicide with other suitable fungicide groups and avoid repeated use of the same chemistry in every spray cycle.
