The company expects CAPSTONE and ZAAFU to make up more than 10 per cent of its crop protection portfolio’s fungicide category
A TATA Enterprise Rallis India Limited, has announced the introduction of two new fungicides, CAPSTONE and ZAAFU, which are intended to combat different types of neck blast and sheath blight.
The fungicide portfolio of Rallis India Limited is well known in the market, and the company expects CAPSTONE and ZAAFU to make up more than 10 per cent of its crop protection portfolio’s fungicide category.
Rallis India launches CAPSTONE for the first time on the Indian market to treat this disease. Fenoxanil and Isoprothialane are the main ingredients in CAPSTONE. Isoprothiolane is an inhibitor of lipid biosynthesis, whereas Fenoxanil is an inhibitor of melanin biosynthesis. For the first time in India, farmers will now have access to a mixture containing Fenoxanil. In collaboration with Nihon Nohyaku, a Japanese company that develops agrochemicals, this product was created in India.
CAPSTONE has a dual mode of action because it is a combination of two different action fungicides, giving it qualities like excellent efficacy, longer duration of disease control, no cross-resistance, and prevention against resistance build-up.
The systemic fungicide ZAAFU has a special formulation. Zaafu offers a great treatment for Sheath Blight and Sheath Rot in Paddy. It is a fungicide in the form of granules that are intended to be broadcast in the field along with the first top dressing of fertiliser.
