Cryonil Fungicide (Myclobutanil 10% WP) – Crystal Crop Protection
The ultimate systemic solution for Powdery Mildew, Scab, and Fruit Rot control in Apples, Grapes, and Chillies.
Cryonil by Crystal Crop Protection is a high-performance systemic fungicide designed to protect your high-value crops. It features Myclobutanil 10% WP, a potent chemistry that penetrates plant tissues to cure fungal infections from the inside out.
Whether you are battling Apple Scab in the Himalayas or Powdery Mildew in the vineyards of Maharashtra, Cryonil offers a dual advantage: it prevents disease before it starts and eradicates infections that have already begun.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️96-Hour Curative Action: Stops fungal infections even if applied up to 4 days (96 hours) after the disease process begins ("Kick-back" effect).
- ?️Systemic Protection: Absorbs quickly and moves upward in the plant to protect new shoot growth that emerges after spraying.
- ⏳One-Shot Solution: Simultaneously controls Powdery Mildew and Fruit Rot (Anthracnose) in Chilli crops.
- ?️Rainfast in 2 Hours: Rapid absorption means the product resists wash-off from rain or irrigation shortly after drying.
- ?Low Phytotoxicity: The Wettable Powder (WP) formulation is safer for sensitive leaves compared to solvent-based EC formulations.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Cryonil works by inhibiting the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component for building fungal cell walls. By blocking this process, the fungus cannot grow or reproduce.
- Stops Growth (Fungistatic): Prevents the fungus from expanding immediately upon contact.
- Eradicates (Fungicidal): Destroys the internal feeding structures (haustoria) of the fungus inside the leaf tissue.
- Translocates (Systemic): Moves through the xylem to protect new leaves that were not directly sprayed.
Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml/g per Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple | Tree Basis (4g/10L) | 10 L / Tree | 0.4 g | 21 |
| Grapes | 80 - 100 g | 500 - 1000 L | 0.4 g | 15 |
| Chilli | 150 - 200 g | 500 L | 0.4 g | 3 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventively or immediately after rains (within 96 hours) to stop new infections.
- Mixing: Premix the powder with a small amount of water to make a smooth paste ("creaming") before adding it to the main tank.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of foliage. Use a silicone spreader during the rainy season for better stickiness.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Cryonil compatible with Mancozeb?
Yes, Cryonil is often tank-mixed with protectant fungicides like Mancozeb to provide both internal curative action and external protection.
2. Can I use Cryonil for export vegetables?
Yes, Cryonil has a short Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI) of 3 days for Chilli, making it suitable for crops harvested frequently, provided the waiting period is respected.
3. Does it control Chilli Die-back?
Absolutely. Cryonil is highly effective against Anthracnose, which causes Die-back and Fruit Rot in chillies.
4. What is the rainfastness period?
Cryonil is generally rainfast within 1 to 2 hours after application, once the spray deposit has dried on the leaf.
5. Why is rotation important?
To prevent resistance, do not apply Cryonil more than 2 times continuously. Rotate with fungicides from different groups (like Strobilurins) for long-term efficacy.
