What to include: The exact pack programme, even coverage and separate harvest and re-entry intervals.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Rice blast management: The manufacturer identifies both leaf blast and neck blast in rice.
- 🌿Sheath-blight control: Sheath blight is included in the rice disease recommendation.
- 🔎Brown-spot coverage: The Crystal formulation leaflet also confirms brown spot as a rice target.
- 🛡️Protective action: Crystal describes protective activity, with treatment at the early appearance of disease.
- 🔀Two fungicide groups: Azoxystrobin and tricyclazole act on different processes in susceptible fungi.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Azotrix is a systemic fungicide, meaning its active ingredients can move within treated plant tissue. It is not a treatment for every cause of yellowing, spots or poor growth.
- Azoxystrobin disrupts energy production: The Group 11 ingredient blocks part of the fungus’s energy-producing process.
- Tricyclazole blocks pigment production: The Group 16.1 ingredient interferes with the production of melanin, a dark fungal pigment.
- Disease development is checked: These different actions help manage the specified fungal diseases when the product is used under its labelled conditions.
Use suitable alternatives with different mode-of-action groups as part of crop-specific resistance management. A different brand name is not necessarily a different mode of action.

Dosage & Application Guide
The manufacturer’s Azotrix rate and the separate Crystal formulation-leaflet reference are shown distinctly. They are not two applications to combine. Match the supplied Azotrix pack before using the reference programme.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice: manufacturer rate | 200 | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Rice: formulation reference | Approx. 202.3 500 ml/ha |
Approx. 202.3 500 L/ha |
See note* | 24 |
Acre figures are approximate conversions; the original hectare quantities remain shown. The formulation reference applies to rice blast, sheath blight and brown spot.
The 24-day harvest interval is a formulation reference. The Crystal formulation label separately states 24 hours for re-entry; these are different restrictions. Confirm both on the current pack.
*The manufacturer’s webpage does not give a complete water, harvest or re-entry programme. The separate leaflet names Crystal but leaves the brand blank. Its directions below are formulation references, not proof of the supplied Azotrix pack’s revision. No per-litre dose or repeat interval is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check disease and growth stage: Crystal recommends early disease treatment. Its formulation leaflet covers the period before and during side-shoot formation (pre- to mid-tillering), and flowering. It excludes crop maturity and immediately before harvest.
- Use the referenced spray method only when the pack agrees: The formulation leaflet specifies leaf spraying, preferably morning or evening, with a hollow-cone nozzle; listed equipment includes knapsack, battery-powered and tractor-mounted sprayers.
- Mix for even coverage: The leaflet describes premixing the measured product with a little clean water, then adding the remaining water while stirring. Use the current pack’s complete product-and-water programme.
- Observe the weather limits: The formulation leaflet excludes temperatures above 30°C and humidity below 40%. It specifies steady wind above 5 and up to 15 km/h; stop or adjust the buffer if wind changes.
- Do not add insecticides or growth regulators: The Crystal formulation leaflet prohibits these mixtures. Do not assume other tank mixes are permitted.
- Check timing before another treatment: Confirm the supplied pack’s harvest, re-entry and repeat-treatment rules. Do not turn the leaflet’s frequency entry into an invented interval between sprays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which rice diseases does Azotrix cover?Blast, sheath blight and brown spot. Crystal’s product illustration identifies leaf blast and neck blast within the blast scope.
Should I wait until the disease is severe?Crystal recommends use at the early appearance of disease. Check the current pack’s permitted crop stages; do not replace those limits with a late rescue-treatment assumption.
Why does the table show both 200 and approximately 202.3 ml/acre?200 ml/acre is the brand webpage figure. Approximately 202.3 ml/acre is the conversion of the separate 500 ml/ha formulation reference. They are not quantities to add together.
Does the harvest interval also tell workers when to re-enter?No. Time before harvesting and time before entering a treated field are separate requirements. Confirm the current pack’s two instructions rather than substituting one for the other.
Does this mixture remove the need for resistance management?No. Plan suitable alternatives outside both FRAC Groups 11 and 16.1 and follow crop-specific advice. Changing brands alone may leave the same fungicide groups in use.
Safety & Disclaimer
Wear the protective clothing and equipment specified on the pack. Avoid skin and eye contact and breathing spray. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling. Wash exposed skin and contaminated clothing after work.
The Crystal formulation label warns of inhalation toxicity and harm to aquatic life. Keep use away from water bodies and fish-rearing areas. If exposure or illness occurs, seek medical help promptly and show the pack; follow its first-aid directions.
Keep the original container closed in secure storage away from children, animals, food and feed. Prevent product, spray and equipment washings from entering water bodies. Never reuse empty pesticide containers.
Read and follow the supplied product label and accompanying leaflet. Use only for its stated crop, target, application conditions, dose, waiting periods and precautions.
