Product details
Custodia Fungicide | Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC
A two-active fungicide with preventive and curative activity for the crop-specific diseases listed
below.
Disease fit: Match the disease to its crop, not just to a general fungicide
claim.
Treatment planning: Use the crop-specific prevention or early-infection window
stated on the supplied pack; curative activity does not restore dead tissue.
Separate products: Custodia must be used with its own current pack directions, even
when another product lists the same active strengths.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🛡️ Preventive and curative activity: Supports protection and management of susceptible early infection within the permitted crop-specific treatment window.
-
🌾 Several crop-specific disease uses: Provides distinct options for diseases such as rice sheath blight, onion purple blotch and chilli fruit rot, rather than a single
all-crop recipe.
-
🧴 Ready-formulated combination: Supplies
both active ingredients in one SC product, avoiding the need to improvise a mixture of separate azoxystrobin and tebuconazole
products.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
Fungal energy production is restricted: Azoxystrobin inhibits electron transfer at the Qo site of the fungal respiration complex,
limiting the energy available for susceptible fungal growth.
-
Normal membrane formation is disrupted: Tebuconazole inhibits sterol demethylation, interfering with production of sterols needed
for normal fungal cell membranes.
-
Susceptible disease development is inhibited: The two active ingredients affect distinct essential processes, contributing to
preventive and curative control of susceptible disease.
These are two modes of action, not permission to delay treatment until damage is severe. Curative activity
cannot restore dead tissue. Both FRAC Groups 11 and 3 must be considered in resistance planning; changing the brand while retaining
either group is not automatically an effective rotation.
Target Crops & Diseases

| Chilli |
Fruit rot, powdery mildew and dieback |

Yellow rust |
| Tomato |
Early blight |

Early blight and late blight |

Match each crop–disease pair to a permitted use on the supplied Custodia pack. Downy mildew and powdery mildew
are different diseases; tomato early blight is not permission to treat tomato late blight. Do not add apple or another crop from a
different product’s directions.
Dosage & Application Guide
Plan a complete crop-specific disease-control application
Before treating, establish the permitted application method, first-treatment stage, product amount, water
requirement and harvest restriction for the exact crop and disease. Preventive and curative activity describe what the fungicide can
do; they do not supply a universal first-spray date or repeat interval.
Do not calculate a tank recipe from pack size, active-ingredient percentages or another product’s instructions.
Custodia and Custodia Prime share the listed active strengths but are separate branded products. Follow the supplied product’s own
directions. Missing harvest information does not mean immediate harvest is safe; harvest, re-entry and repeat-treatment intervals are
separate requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the disease: Distinguish the listed disease from nutrient deficiency, insect damage or a different infection before
choosing treatment.
-
Follow the application window: Use the crop-specific prevention or early-infection stage stated on the pack, together with its
complete application directions. Do not invent a calendar interval from a curative claim.
-
Prepare and apply correctly: Use the specified equipment, water and product amount with the required protection. Do not substitute
drone, soil, seed or irrigation treatment without explicit permission for that use.
-
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.
-
Protect the following crop operations: Record the crop, disease, product and treatment date. Observe the separate repeat-use limit,
worker re-entry and harvest instructions and reassess persistent symptoms with qualified crop advice.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are Custodia and Custodia Prime interchangeable?
No. They list the same active strengths, but each must be used under its own current pack directions.
MYKRONV, systemic and translaminar claims for Custodia Prime are not automatically claims for Custodia.
2. Does curative activity mean damaged leaves will recover?
No. Curative activity concerns susceptible disease development; it does not rebuild dead plant tissue or
justify waiting for severe damage. Follow the treatment window for the crop and disease.
3. Can I use one standard amount in every tank?
No. The product amount must match the crop, disease, application basis, method and water requirement. Tank
capacity alone does not establish the treated area or the correct dose.
4. When can I harvest or repeat treatment?
Follow the crop-specific pack restrictions. The pre-harvest interval is the minimum time from final
application to harvest; it is not the repeat interval or worker re-entry period. A missing interval must not be treated as zero.
5. Can I mix it or rotate to another brand?
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. Account for both FRAC Groups 11 and 3 when selecting effective,
permitted alternatives; a new brand name alone does not establish a new mode of action.
