Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Rice disease focus: Rallis lists sheath blight, leaf blast and neck blast in rice.
- 🧬Two modes of action: Combines FRAC 11 respiration inhibition with FRAC 3 sterol inhibition.
- 🔋Respiration control: Kresoxim-methyl interferes with fungal energy production.
- 🛡️Membrane action: Hexaconazole disrupts production of sterols needed by fungal membranes.
- 🛡️Protective and curative roles: Rallis describes both protective and curative activity against the listed rice diseases.

How It Works: Mode of Action
- Respiration is inhibited: Kresoxim-methyl blocks electron transfer at the Qo site of fungal complex III.
- Sterol production is disrupted: Hexaconazole inhibits sterol 14α-demethylase, affecting fungal membrane formation.
- Fungal growth is checked: These two processes support control of the rice diseases listed for Ayaan.
A mixture is not a reason to repeat the same modes of action continuously. Follow a label-compliant resistance-management programme.

Dosage & Application Guide
The numerical entries below are formulation-level CIBRC reference data through 30 September 2025, not confirmation of the current branded pack directions. Match each crop, target, route, water volume and harvest interval to the current Indian label before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | 202.34 500 g/ha |
202.34 500 L/ha |
See note* | 22 |
Rice reference row: sheath blight, leaf blast and neck blast. The formulation reference gives 500 g/ha in 500 L/ha with a 22-day PHI; it does not establish the current Ayaan route, stage, interval or maximum number of applications.
An older Ayaan catalogue lists late tillering and second panicle initiation for rice sheath blight only. This does not establish timing for leaf or neck blast; confirm the current pack.
Per-acre amounts are approximate conversions of the stated hectare rates using 1 acre = 0.40468564224 ha. The original hectare figures are retained. No per-litre or tank rate has been calculated from an area rate.
See note*: no standalone per-litre dose is provided. Obtain the current Ayaan leaflet for the missing application directions; do not infer a route from WG formulation.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the programme: Check the current label for the exact crop, target, method and timing before preparing any treatment.
- Measure and calibrate: Measure the formulation accurately and use the label water volume with calibrated equipment. Do not substitute a tank rate from another formulation.
- Plan harvest and re-entry: Observe the crop-specific pre-harvest interval and the pack’s re-entry instructions. A missing value does not mean immediate harvest or entry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ayaan used for?Rallis lists rice sheath blight, leaf blast and neck blast.
What does Ayaan contain?Kresoxim-methyl 40% plus hexaconazole 8% in a WG formulation.
What is the rice dose?The formulation-level reference is 500 g/ha, approximately 202.34 g/acre, in 500 L/ha. Confirm the current Ayaan label and application method before using this reference.
How long must I wait before harvest?The rice formulation reference lists 22 days. Confirm this against the current Ayaan pack; do not shorten the interval.
Can I copy a hexaconazole-only rate?No. Ayaan is a two-active WG product. Rates and directions for hexaconazole-only EC or SC products are not interchangeable.
