Key Features of Cytrol 75 WP

How Cytrol 75 WP Works

Dual-Action Formula

Cytrol 75 WP employs a dual-action mechanism that includes:

1. Systemic Action: Thiophanate Methyl penetrates plant tissues, offering internal protection. This means that even if the fungus attacks the plant, the active ingredient can still work from within to inhibit its growth.
2. Protective Action: Chlorothalonil forms a protective barrier on the plant surface, preventing fungal spores from germinating and infecting the plant. This combination ensures that both existing infections are addressed and future threats are mitigated.

Targeted Fungal Diseases

Cytrol 75 WP is particularly effective against:

• Powdery Mildew: One of the most common and troublesome diseases affecting cucumbers, characterized by white, powdery spots on leaves.
• Other fungal pathogens that compromise plant health and yield.

Recommended Application Practices

Dosage Guidelines

For optimal results, adhere to the recommended dosage of 540-675 gm per acre. This range ensures that the active ingredients are present in sufficient quantities to effectively combat fungal diseases without causing undue stress on the plants.

Mixing Instructions

1. Measure the required amount of Cytrol based on your acreage.
2. Fill a spray tank with water and add the measured Cytrol powder.
3. Stir the mixture thoroughly until the powder is completely dissolved.
4. Apply the mixture using a suitable spray method, ensuring even coverage across the plant foliage.

Timing of Application
