Tropical Agro Tagmycin Bactericide - Streptomycin Sulphate 90% + Tetracycline Hydrochloride 10% SP for Bacterial Disease Control

Tropical Agro Tagmycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic bactericide designed to protect crops from a wide range of bacterial diseases. It combines two active ingredients — Streptomycin Sulphate 90% and Tetracycline Hydrochloride 10% — in a soluble powder (SP) formulation. This 90:10 combination works together to give strong curative action against bacterial infections that can damage crops and reduce yields.

Tagmycin is recommended for use on Rice, Wheat, Apple, Cotton, Pulses, Cauliflower, Oilseeds, Chillies, Tea, Tomato, Potato, and Mango. It is especially effective when applied after the crop has already been infected, making it a dependable option for farmers who need quick and reliable control of bacterial diseases. The product is easily translocated within the plant system, helping it reach the infection site and act fast. At recommended doses, no harmful effects have been noticed, making it a safe and practical choice for routine crop protection.

Key Benefits

• Controls a wide range of bacterial diseases in one product, reducing the need for multiple sprays.
• Strong curative action — works effectively even when applied after the crop is already infected.
• Systemic action helps the plant absorb the active ingredients and protects growth from within.
• Improves crop quality and reduces crop loss caused by bacterial infections, supporting better harvests.
• Flexible application — can be used as a foliar spray, seed treatment, or seedling root dip.
• Synergistic combination of two active ingredients increases overall effectiveness against bacteria.
• Safe at recommended doses with no harmful effects noticed on crops.

How It Works

Tagmycin contains two active ingredients that work together to fight bacterial diseases. Streptomycin Sulphate is a well-known antibiotic that attacks and kills bacteria in the plant system. Tetracycline Hydrochloride is added in a 10% ratio because it has a synergistic effect — it boosts the action of Streptomycin, making the overall product more effective than using either ingredient alone.

The product has systemic action, which means once applied, it is easily absorbed and translocated within the plant system. This allows the active ingredients to move through the plant and reach the site of infection, where they kill the pathogens quickly. Because the product moves inside the plant, it offers good curative action and is especially valuable when bacterial disease has already appeared on the crop. This fast action helps protect plant health and supports better yields.

When to Use

Tagmycin is most effective when applied after the crop has been infected with a bacterial disease. It has good curative action, which means it works well to control the disease once symptoms appear on the plant. For best results, apply the product as soon as you notice early signs of bacterial infection such as leaf spots, blight, wilting, or cankers on the crop.

Because the product is systemic and easily translocated in the plant system, it can reach the infection site quickly and kill the pathogens. Regular monitoring of the crop for early disease symptoms will help you time the application for maximum effectiveness. The product is suitable for use across multiple crops and can be applied at any stage where bacterial disease pressure is present.

Step by Step Usage Instructions

1. Wear hand gloves and a face mask before handling the product.
2. Measure the required quantity of Tagmycin — 6 to 12 grams per 60 liters of water.
3. Add the measured quantity of Tagmycin to the water and mix thoroughly to prepare the spray solution.
4. For foliar application, spray the solution evenly over the crop, covering both sides of the leaves where possible.
