Blastogan - Tricyclazole 75% WP - ADAMA
Blastogan Fungicide | Tricyclazole 75% WP
A systemic fungicide for blast in paddy, with tricyclazole absorbed through roots and
foliage.
Crop and disease: Blast in paddy (rice). Confirm the disease before selecting
treatment.
Product behaviour: Systemic fungicide absorbed through roots and foliage; that does
not authorise seed treatment, drenching or any other unlisted method.
Plan before use: Use the supplied pack’s complete method, rate, first timing and
harvest restrictions together.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🌾 Paddy blast management: A disease-focused
option for controlling blast in rice within the permitted treatment programme.
-
🌿 Systemic activity: The active ingredient
is taken into the plant rather than being described solely as a surface-contact treatment.
-
🍃 Plant uptake: Tricyclazole is absorbed by
roots and foliage, supporting its activity in the plant when applied by the permitted method.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
The plant takes up the active ingredient: Tricyclazole is absorbed by roots and foliage and acts systemically.
-
Fungal melanin formation is disrupted: It inhibits a reductase step in the pathway that produces melanin in the blast fungus.
-
The infection process is hindered: Interference with melanin formation disrupts a process important to the fungus’s ability to
establish infection.
Systemic activity does not establish every application route or guarantee repair of tissue already damaged.
Changing to another tricyclazole product does not change FRAC Group 16.1; plan effective alternatives with qualified crop advice and
the current label.
Target Crops & Diseases

Use only for the crop and disease permitted on the current Blastogan pack. Do not assume that sheath blight, a
bacterial disease or a nutrient disorder is covered because it also damages rice leaves.
Dosage & Application Guide
Paddy blast: keep the full treatment directions together
Before treatment, confirm blast in the crop and obtain the current pack’s application method, product amount,
water or carrier, first-treatment stage and harvest interval. Root and foliage uptake are not instructions to choose seed treatment,
transplant dipping, drenching or foliar application without the corresponding pack permission.
Do not turn the pack weight into an acreage rate, calculate a pump recipe from another tricyclazole formulation
or choose a treatment date from uptake behaviour. A missing harvest interval does not mean immediate harvest is safe.
Repeat-treatment, worker re-entry and harvest intervals serve different purposes and cannot replace one another.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the disease: Identify blast in paddy; seek qualified diagnosis where symptoms could have another cause.
-
Match the exact formulation: Use directions for Blastogan tricyclazole 75% WP, not another strength, formulation or mixture.
-
Prepare by the permitted method: Measure accurately and use the pack’s preparation, equipment and water or carrier instructions.
Wear the required protection, avoid powder dust and do not mix with bare hands.
-
Check mixtures: Mix with another product only when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the crop and
use. Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix.
-
Record and monitor: Record treatment dates and observe the harvest and re-entry restrictions. Do not invent a fixed repeat interval
if blast persists; get qualified crop advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is Blastogan used for?
Blast in paddy (rice), within the current pack’s permitted use. It is not a general treatment for every rice
disease.
2. Does root uptake mean I can use it as a drench or seed treatment?
No. Uptake describes product behaviour in the plant. Use only an application method expressly permitted for
the crop and use on the current Blastogan pack.
3. What does WP mean when I prepare it?
WP means wettable powder. Follow the pack’s preparation and equipment directions, use accurate weighing
equipment and avoid inhaling powder dust. Do not substitute a dose from a liquid or a different formulation.
4. Can I harvest or re-enter as soon as treatment is finished?
No. Follow the separate current-pack harvest and worker re-entry restrictions. The pre-harvest interval is
the time from final application to harvest, not the repeat-treatment interval. Missing information is not permission for immediate
harvest or re-entry.
5. Can I mix it or switch to another tricyclazole brand for resistance management?
Mix with another product only when both current labels expressly permit the proposed combination for the
crop and use. Physical compatibility alone is not permission to mix. Another tricyclazole brand still belongs to FRAC Group 16.1, so
seek advice on effective alternatives rather than relying on a change of brand name.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: read the supplied Indian label and leaflet before opening the pack. Use only for
a crop and target permitted on that pack, with its complete application, harvest and worker re-entry directions. Wear the
specified protective clothing, gloves and eye and respiratory protection. Avoid skin and eye contact and inhaling dust, spray
mist, fog or vapour. Do not mix with bare hands. Do not eat, drink, smoke or chew while handling or applying the product. Wash
thoroughly and change contaminated clothing after work.
Keep the product in its original labelled container, securely closed and stored away from children, food
and feed. Follow the pack’s storage and weather precautions. Prevent drift and contamination of ponds, wells, drains and other
water sources; do not wash equipment or discard residues into them. Never reuse empty pesticide containers. Follow the label and
local disposal requirements.
If exposure, illness or suspected poisoning occurs, stop work and obtain prompt medical help with the
