Cilpyrox

• Verified formulation: FMC India identifies Cilpyrox as Thifluzamide 24% SC.
• Defined disease uses: the official label names rice sheath blight, tomato early blight and potato black scurf seed treatment.
• Systemic SDHI identity: Thifluzamide is a FRAC Group 7 fungicide affecting fungal respiration through succinate dehydrogenase.
• Separate application roles: rice and tomato are high-volume foliar applications, while potato is a tuber seed-treatment use. They must not be treated as interchangeable methods.
• Harvest guidance where applicable: the label gives 28 days for rice and 7 days for tomato; potato is a seed-treatment row, not a foliar PHI claim.

Antidote statement

No specific antidote is known; treat symptomatically as directed on the label

1. Fungal energy pathway: Thifluzamide inhibits succinate dehydrogenase, which is involved in fungal energy generation.
2. Systemic movement: FMC describes absorption by roots and leaves and translocation through xylem and apoplast.
3. Resistance stewardship: do not make another Group 7 SDHI product an automatic follow-up. A different-group product may be considered only when its own current Indian label matches the diagnosed crop and disease.

These values retain the units on the official FMC Indian label. Do not calculate a universal per-acre, per-litre, pump or tank dose from them. For potato, the label specifies tuber seed treatment rather than a foliar water volume or harvest interval.

• Foliar rice/tomato use: measure the required formulation, mix it first with a small quantity of water, then add the remaining specified water with thorough agitation for high-volume application as the label directs.
• Potato use: use only as the stated tuber seed treatment. Do not invent a foliar rate, spray-water volume or PHI for this row.
• Protect water: the exact label warns that the product is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not use it in or around aquaculture and prevent contamination of water bodies.
• Personal protection: wear protective clothing, avoid inhalation and skin/eye contact, and do not eat, drink, smoke or chew tobacco while handling. Store locked in the original container, away from food, animal feed and children.
• No mixing claim: this page does not authorize a tank mix with any fungicide, insecticide, fertilizer, adjuvant or biological product.

Always read and follow the official product label and leaflet. This page is guidance only and does not replace the current Indian label, a crop diagnosis or local professional advice. If exposure occurs, follow the label’s first-aid directions and seek medical attention. Keep the product out of and away from aquaculture, and dispose of surplus product, washings and used containers only as directed on the label.
