Paribact-K - Kasugamycin 3% SL - Parijat
Paribact-K Fungicide & Bactericide by Parijat
Kasugamycin 3% SL for specified fungal and bacterial diseases of paddy, tomato, cabbage and
chilli.
Disease fit: Paddy blast; tomato early blight; cabbage black rot; and bacterial
leaf spot, Cercospora leaf spot and die-back in chilli.
When to apply: Preventively before disease develops, or at a very early stage of
disease development.
Application: Uniform foliar coverage with a knapsack sprayer, using the complete
crop-specific product quantity, water volume and harvest interval.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🦠 Fungal and bacterial targets: Kasugamycin
has listed uses against particular fungal and bacterial diseases; a correct crop and disease diagnosis remains essential.
-
🌿 Systemic activity: The active ingredient
can move within treated plants, supporting its disease-control action.
-
🧬 Protein-synthesis inhibition: Interferes
with protein production in susceptible pathogens, affecting their growth and reproduction.
-
⏱️ Early-stage treatment: The application
timing emphasizes prevention or very early disease development rather than waiting for extensive damage.

How It Works: Mode of Action
-
The active moves within the plant: Kasugamycin has systemic activity, so its action is not limited to material remaining on the
outer surface of the treated foliage.
-
Protein synthesis is disrupted: FRAC Group 24 acts at the initiation step of protein synthesis on the ribosome, a structure used by
cells to build proteins.
-
Pathogen growth is affected: Disrupting protein production affects susceptible pathogen growth and reproduction. Preventive or very
early application is therefore central to the stated use.
Fungicidal and bactericidal activity does not mean that two active ingredients are present. Kasugamycin remains
one Group 24 active, and resistance is known in fungal and bacterial pathogens. Do not assume complete disease eradication, unlimited
repeats or repair of already damaged plant tissue.

Keep each disease with its named crop. A leaf spot symptom alone does not establish its cause, and the chilli
disease list is not a general recommendation for every leaf spot in every crop.
Dosage & Application Guide
Early Disease Timing & Uniform Foliage Coverage
Apply preventively before disease development or at a very early stage. Use uniform foliar spraying with a
knapsack sprayer. Before preparing the spray, confirm the exact measurement unit, product quantity, water volume, treated area and
harvest interval for the crop on the supplied Paribact-K label and leaflet.
Do not interchange product mass and liquid volume, or replace an area-based programme with a standard pump
recipe. Keep the crop-specific harvest waiting period with the treatment record. Worker re-entry requirements are separate from the
interval between the last spray and harvest.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Match the crop and disease: Confirm the actual disease before choosing treatment. Paddy blast, tomato early blight, cabbage black
rot and the listed chilli diseases are distinct uses.
-
Start early: Use the preventive or very early disease stage, rather than delaying until disease is widespread or treating a repeat
interval as the first-application trigger.
-
Measure from the complete crop directions: Check both the quantity and its unit before mixing, and keep the product amount, water
volume, area and harvest restriction together.
-
Premix with a wooden stick: Add the specified amount to a small quantity of water and stir well with a wooden stick. Add the
remaining specified water while maintaining agitation.
-
Cover the foliage evenly: Use a knapsack sprayer, continue agitation and obtain uniform foliage coverage. Maintain the equipment in
good condition and prevent spray drift.
-
Plan subsequent treatments carefully: Check repeat limits and resistance-management guidance. Do not add another antibiotic,
fungicide or booster unless both current product labels permit the proposed mixture for the crop.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Paribact-K contain two active ingredients?
No. It contains kasugamycin 3% SL. Fungicide and bactericide describe its activities against specified
fungal and bacterial targets, not a two-active formulation.
2. When should the first application be made?
Preventively before disease development, or at a very early stage. Use the crop and disease directions to
plan treatment instead of waiting for extensive symptoms.
3. Which diseases are listed for chilli?
Bacterial leaf spot, Cercospora leaf spot and die-back. These names do not make all chilli leaf spotting
suitable for the same treatment; diagnosis still matters.
4. Can I use a standard quantity per pump?
Not without the complete crop programme and measured treated area. Follow the product quantity, its stated
unit, spray-water volume and harvest interval together. Do not assume grams and millilitres are interchangeable.
5. Does changing the brand name avoid Group 24 resistance?
Not if the other product also contains kasugamycin. Account for the active ingredient and action group, and
use only crop-approved resistance-management and repeat-treatment directions.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it: Read the current Paribact-K label and leaflet before handling or spraying.
Confirm the crop-specific measurement, quantity, water volume and harvest restriction, and follow all protective-equipment,
re-entry, first-aid, storage and disposal directions.
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and mouth, and avoid breathing spray. Wear the specified protective
equipment, do not eat, drink or smoke while handling, and wash thoroughly after use. Prevent spray drift and contamination of
water. Keep the product in its original container away from children, animals, food, feed and fire.
Seek medical help after exposure or illness and take the pack or label. This agricultural antibiotic is not
a medicine for people or animals. Do not assume that it is harmless to users, beneficial organisms or the environment, or that any
