Rhyme - Flutriafol 250 g/L SC - FMC
Rhyme Fungicide by FMC
Flutriafol 250 g/L SC. A systemic fungicide for sheath blight and brown spot in rice.
What it controls: Rice: Sheath blight, Brown spot
When to use it: Confirm crop stage and current label directions before treatment.
What to include: Match the exact Flutriafol 250 g/L SC pack to its crop-specific instructions. Do not substitute another formulation or brand dose.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Two named rice diseases: FMC identifies sheath blight and brown spot as the rice targets. This does not imply control of every disease that causes spotting.
- 🌱Systemic movement: The active ingredient is absorbed and moves within the plant, distinguishing it from a surface-only protectant.
- 🎯Triazole chemistry: Flutriafol is a sterol-inhibiting fungicide. Its role is disease management, not insect control or crop nutrition.
- 💧Liquid suspension: The SC formulation provides the active ingredient as a suspension concentrate. It is not interchangeable by volume with a different flutriafol concentration.
- 🧪Group 3 identity: The stated FRAC group makes it possible to recognise other fungicides with the same target site when planning rotations.

How It Works: Mode of Action
A systemic fungicide for sheath blight and brown spot in rice.
- Uptake: After an authorised treatment, flutriafol is absorbed into plant tissue.
- Sterol inhibition: It interferes with fungal sterol production. Sterols are needed for normal fungal cell membranes.
- Disease suppression: Disrupted membrane formation limits the growth of susceptible fungi. This is not a guarantee that damaged leaves will recover.
A mode-of-action group describes biological action, not a safety rating. A different brand containing the same active ingredient is not a different mode of action. Follow label limits and a locally appropriate resistance-management programme.

How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Match the crop and problem to the exact supplied pack before planning a treatment.
- Use the correct formulation: Do not transfer a rate or application method from another formulation containing the same active ingredient.
- Complete the programme: Confirm dose, water, route, timing, harvest interval and repeat limits together before use.
- Mixtures: Do not assume that a broad compatibility claim authorises a particular tank mixture.
- Protection: Wear the protective equipment specified on the pack. Keep the product, residues and washings away from food, feed and water sources.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Rhyme treat every type of rice leaf spot?No. The manufacturer names sheath blight and brown spot. Identify the disease first; similar-looking symptoms may need a different approach.
2. Is 250 g/L the field dose?No. It is the concentration of flutriafol in the formulation, not the amount to apply per acre or per litre of spray water.
3. Is Rhyme a fertiliser or an insecticide?Neither. It is a fungicide for the named fungal diseases. Do not use it as a nutrient supplement or a stem-borer treatment.
4. What is the dose and waiting period?A complete Indian crop-specific label programme was not established for this description. Product amount, water, route, timing and harvest interval must be confirmed before application; none is inferred from the SDS.
5. Can I rotate it with another triazole?A brand change alone does not change the mode of action. Rhyme is FRAC Group 3; assess the other product’s group and current crop label before selecting a rotation.
