Product details
Cilpyrox Fungicide | Thifluzamide 24% SC
Cilpyrox is a systemic thifluzamide fungicide for rice sheath blight and a distinct potato seed/tuber treatment against black scurf. It inhibits fungal energy production through the SDHI mode of action.
What it controls: Rice sheath blight and potato black scurf, using separate application routes.
When to use it: Preventively or at the labelled early disease stage.
What to include: Rice spray equipment or the separate potato treatment method.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Rice sheath-blight use: The rice programme is directed at sheath blight rather than a general claim for every rice disease.
- 🎯Separate potato treatment: The potato use targets black scurf through seed/tuber treatment, not by copying the rice foliar spray method.
- 🌱Systemic movement: Thifluzamide is absorbed by roots and leaves and moves through the plant, including the xylem and apoplast.
- 🔬Fungal energy inhibition: The SDHI mechanism interferes with succinate dehydrogenase in fungal mitochondria.
- 🛡️Preventive programme fit: FMC describes preventive use and checking further fungal development; timely treatment is preferable to relying on recovery after severe damage.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Thifluzamide is an SDHI fungicide. The mechanism is the same active-ingredient property, while rice and potato still require different application procedures.
- Use the correct route: Rice is treated by the labelled foliar method; potato seed/tuber treatment has a separate basis and preparation procedure.
- Reach susceptible tissue: Thifluzamide is absorbed into plant tissue and transported through the plant.
- Block fungal energy production: Inhibition of succinate dehydrogenase at mitochondrial complex II disrupts respiration and restricts fungal growth.
Use the mode-of-action group, not the brand name alone, when planning resistance management. Avoid repeated reliance on the same group.

Potato black scurf is a seed/tuber-treatment use. It is not part of the area-based foliar dosage table below.
Dosage & Application Guide
The following area-based foliar programme is for rice sheath blight only. It must not be used as a potato seed/tuber-treatment rate.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | ≈ 151.8 375 ml/ha |
≈ 202.3 500 L/ha |
Not derived | 28 |
Approximate acre equivalents retain the original hectare figures below them. Match each product amount with its stated water volume and harvest interval.
The rice foliar programme is for sheath blight. No per-litre rate is derived; use the listed area dose with its matching water volume.
Potato black scurf is a separate seed/tuber treatment. The product amount, water basis, exposure time, treatment procedure and applicable restrictions must come from the potato directions on the supplied pack; no tuber-treatment recipe or acreage equivalent is given here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Separate application routes: Rice: foliar spray using the listed rice programme. Potato: seed/tuber treatment only under its specific supplied directions; do not use the rice foliar dose on tubers.
- Timing: Use preventively or at the crop-specific disease stage allowed by the supplied label.
- Coverage: Calibrate equipment and distribute the treatment evenly over the intended target. Avoid drift onto adjacent crops and water bodies.
- Preparation: For rice, mix the measured product with a small quantity of water, then add the remaining specified water with thorough agitation. This rice method is not a potato-dip instruction.
- After use: Clean application equipment safely, wash exposed skin and change contaminated clothing. Keep washings away from drains and surface water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the formulation code mean?SC means suspension concentrate. Cilpyrox contains thifluzamide 24% w/w; the formulation percentage is not a tuber-dip or spray concentration.
Why is the potato use shown separately?The potato black-scurf use is a seed/tuber treatment. It cannot be represented by a rice per-acre foliar-spray rate, even though the product bottle is the same.
Can the rice spray rate be used to treat potato tubers?No. Rice foliar application and potato seed/tuber treatment are different routes. A tuber dose or dip concentration must retain its exact treatment basis and procedure.
Can it be mixed with another pesticide or nutrient?Use only a mixture permitted for the exact crop and products by their supplied labels. A jar test checks physical mixing only; it does not prove crop safety, efficacy or approval.
What should be checked before application?Check the supplied label for product amount, water, timing, harvest and re-entry restrictions, protective equipment and any crop-specific precautions.
Safety & Disclaimer
Read and follow the supplied product label and accompanying leaflet. Use only for the stated crop, target and application conditions, and observe the applicable dose, waiting periods and precautions.
Avoid inhalation and contact with eyes and skin. Do not eat, drink or smoke during mixing or application. Store closed in its original container away from food, feed, heat and children.
Do not reuse empty pesticide containers. Follow label disposal instructions and keep product and washings out of ponds, streams and drains.
This product is very toxic to aquatic organisms. Do not use it in or around aquaculture.
