IIL Albright Azoxystrobin 18.2% + Difenoconazole 11.4% SC Fungicide

• Complementary modes of action: combines FRAC Group 11 Azoxystrobin with FRAC Group 3 Difenoconazole.
• Label-defined crop coverage: registered directions cover selected diseases in nine major crops.
• Clear application rate: most listed crops use 500 ml product in 500 litres of water per hectare; sugarcane uses 400 ml in 400 litres.
• Early disease management: apply preventively or when disease begins, rather than waiting for severe infection.
• Resistance stewardship: the label limits use to two applications per season; rotate thereafter with a suitable different FRAC mode.

Azoxystrobin is a QoI fungicide that inhibits mitochondrial respiration at the Qo site (FRAC 11). Difenoconazole is a DMI triazole fungicide that inhibits C14-demethylase and disrupts fungal sterol biosynthesis (FRAC 3). These complementary actions support disease management when the product is used preventively or at disease initiation. They do not remove the need for resistance management.

PHI means the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. The registered product-to-water ratio above is equivalent to 1 ml per litre; always calculate the total mixture from the crop-specific hectare rate and calibrated spray volume.

• Apply preventively or at the first sign of the listed disease.
• If disease incidence requires, repeat once after 10–15 days; do not exceed two applications per season.
• Use calibrated equipment and achieve uniform foliar coverage without runoff.
• After the maximum applications, rotate to a label-approved fungicide with a different FRAC mode of action.
• Do not assume compatibility or tank-mix with another product merely because it appears in recommendations.

Wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing, a mask and eye protection during mixing and spraying. Avoid skin and eye contact and avoid breathing spray mist. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the product. Keep it locked in the original container away from children, food and animal feed.
