Product details
Kasu-B Fungicide and Bactericide | Kasugamycin 3% SL
A systemic crop fungicide and bactericide for the listed rice and vegetable diseases.
What it controls: A systemic crop fungicide and bactericide for the listed rice and vegetable diseases.
When to use it: The manufacturer’s spray programme begins when infection starts; confirm the current label for your crop.
What to include: Check the crop-specific dose, application method, water volume and harvest interval before treatment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯Fungal and bacterial disease uses: The brand lists both fungal diseases and specified bacterial diseases. Identify the cause first; it is not a treatment for every leaf spot or viral problem.
- 🌿Systemic movement: Kasugamycin is absorbed and moves within the plant. This helps it reach infection sites without authorising an unlisted root drench or seed treatment.
- 🛡️Preventive use: Dhanuka describes a role in preventing disease establishment when used according to the label. Monitoring and crop hygiene remain important.
- 🍃Activity after infection begins: Early curative action can limit susceptible disease development. It does not rebuild plant tissue already destroyed by disease.
- 🔎A distinct resistance group: Kasugamycin belongs to FRAC Group 24. Track that group when planning further disease treatments instead of simply switching brand names.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Kasu-B is an agricultural fungicide and bactericide, not a medicine for people or animals. Its active ingredient interferes with the production of proteins that susceptible disease-causing organisms need to grow.
- The plant takes up the treatment: The product moves systemically after the labelled application. Use the crop’s verified method rather than choosing a route solely because the product is systemic.
- Protein production is interrupted: Kasugamycin acts at the ribosome, the cell’s protein-making machinery. It interferes with the beginning of protein synthesis.
- The pathogen cannot develop normally: Without normal protein production, susceptible fungal and bacterial growth is restricted. Correct diagnosis and early action are still essential.
Use the FRAC group information to plan resistance management with qualified crop advice. A different brand with the same mode of action is not a different resistance-management option.

Dosage & Application Guide
The numerical rows follow Dhanuka’s crop-spray guidance, not a current pack leaflet. Confirm the complete directions on your pack. No cucumber dose is provided because its full application programme is unavailable here.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice — blast | 400–600 ml | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Tomato — early blight | 400–500 ml | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Cabbage — black rot | 600 ml | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Chilli — listed leaf spots and die-back | 400–500 ml | See note* | See note* | See note* |
| Cucumber — listed diseases | See note* | See note* | See note* | See note* |
For the manufacturer’s listed spray programme, start at the beginning of infection. It describes a second spray after 8–10 days or when required. Confirm the current crop label and the need for another application rather than adopting an automatic calendar schedule.
*Water per acre, a separate per-litre dose and crop-specific harvest intervals are not supplied here. Check these on the current pack before using the area rates.
For cucumber, obtain the complete crop-specific dose, application method, water volume and harvest interval from the supplied label before treatment.
No tank recipe, numeric worker re-entry period, maximum application count or blanket tank-mix approval is established. The repeat-spray timing is not a pre-harvest interval.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the disease: Match the crop and disease to the supplied label. Bacterial, fungal, viral and nutritional leaf symptoms are not interchangeable.
- Check missing crop directions: Before applying an area rate, check the current crop’s water volume, harvest interval and full preparation instructions. For cucumber, obtain the full label programme first.
- Apply by the labelled spray method: Use calibrated equipment and the label-supported water quantity for even crop coverage. Do not infer seed, root or soil treatment from systemic activity.
- Check any proposed mixture: Dhanuka cautions against very alkaline products. Do not assume other mixtures are acceptable; check both labels and qualified crop advice before mixing or adding an adjuvant.
- Record and reassess: Record the date and product, observe entry and harvest restrictions, and assess disease development before any repeat. Include Group 24 in resistance planning.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Kasu-B control both fungal and bacterial diseases?It is described as both a fungicide and bactericide, with specific crop–disease pairings. That does not mean it cures all infections or virus symptoms. Diagnosis and a current crop-label match are essential.
2. Is the rice dose a universal vegetable dose?No. The manufacturer lists rice at 400–600 ml/acre, tomato and chilli at 400–500 ml/acre and cabbage at 600 ml/acre. These remain tied to their own diseases; water and harvest information must be checked on the pack.
3. How much goes into a 15-litre pump?There is no universal pump dose. The amount per tank depends on the crop’s labelled water programme and the area covered by a calibrated tank. Use the pack directions rather than guessing from tank size.
4. Can I mix Kasu-B with any pesticide?No. Dhanuka cautions against very alkaline products. Check both current labels and qualified advice for any proposed mixture, including stickers or other adjuvants.
5. Is the 8–10-day interval the harvest waiting period?No. It is the manufacturer-page timing for a possible second spray. Obtain the crop-specific PHI, worker-entry restriction and any application limit from the supplied leaflet before treatment.
