How To Use Tata Headwin Fungicide:
Measure the required dose of Headwin fungicide as per the crop-wise dose table above — 1 ml per litre or 200 ml per acre.
Add the measured quantity to a sprayer tank half-filled with clean water and mix well before topping up.
Fill the tank with the remaining clean water and agitate well before spraying — 200 litres of water per acre for complete field coverage.
Apply uniformly on both upper and lower leaf surfaces and stems — Tata Headwin's translaminar movement means even incomplete coverage is supplemented by internal distribution.
Apply at the very first sign of disease symptoms — or preventively during humid, warm weather when fungal disease pressure is highest.
Apply during early morning or late evening — avoid midday heat and do not spray if rain is expected within 3–4 hours.
Always wear protective gear — gloves, goggles, and a face mask — while handling Headwin fungicide.
Rinse the sprayer thoroughly with clean water after every use.
Best Time to Apply:
Apply Tata Headwin in the early morning or late evening. For Paddy Blast, begin preventive sprays at the tillering and panicle initiation stages. For Chilli Anthracnose, apply from the flowering stage when humidity and temperature conditions favour disease spread. For Wheat Rust, spray at the flag leaf stage.
Frequency of Application and Re-Entry Period:
Frequency of Application: Apply every 14–21 days during active disease pressure. Do not exceed 3 applications per season — always rotate Tata Headwin with products from different FRAC groups after 2 consecutive sprays to prevent resistance.
Re-Entry Period: Do not enter treated fields for at least 24 hours after spraying without proper protective gear.
Tank-Mix Compatibility: Headwin fungicide is compatible with most commonly used insecticides and fungicides. Avoid mixing with strongly alkaline products. Always perform a jar test before mixing with unfamiliar inputs.
Safety Precautions and Handling:
Wear gloves, goggles, and a face mask before handling or spraying Tata Headwin.
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 every spray session.
Triple rinse empty containers, puncture, and dispose of per local waste guidelines.
