Thakar Rodia Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% SC Fungicide for Broad-Spectrum Disease Control

Thakar Rodia is a broad-spectrum combination fungicide formulated with Azoxystrobin 11% and Tebuconazole 18.3% as a Suspension Concentrate (SC). This dual-action product brings together two powerful chemical groups—Strobilurin and Triazole—to give farmers reliable protection against a wide range of fungal diseases across many important crops. It works through both systemic and contact action, which means it protects the plant from outside and from within, stopping fungal growth at multiple stages of development.

Rodia is designed for preventive as well as curative control, giving farmers flexibility in spray timing. Whether applied before disease appears or at the early stage of infection, it helps keep crops healthy, improves plant physiological activity, and supports better yield and quality of produce. It is recommended for crops like Paddy (Rice), Wheat, Potato, Tomato, Chilli, Grapes, Onion, Apple, Soybean, Groundnut and other vegetables, controlling diseases such as sheath blight, yellow rust, early and late blight, powdery mildew, downy mildew, purple blotch, scab, anthracnose, leaf spot and fruit rot.

The dual mode of action also reduces the risk of fungicide resistance, which is a growing concern in modern farming. With long-lasting residual protection and broad-spectrum activity, Thakar Rodia is a practical choice for farmers looking to protect their crop investment and secure a healthier, more productive harvest.

Key Benefits

• Broad-spectrum control of major fungal diseases across multiple crops, reducing the need for multiple sprays.
• Dual mode of action (Strobilurin + Triazole) provides both preventive and curative protection, lowering the risk of fungicide resistance.
• Systemic plus contact action ensures protection from outside and inside the plant, giving complete coverage.
• Long-lasting residual effect keeps crops protected for an extended period, reducing repeat applications.
• Improves crop physiological activity, leading to healthier plants and better-quality produce.
• Flexible spray timing—effective as a preventive spray or at the early stage of disease.
• Supports higher yield by keeping leaves, stems and fruits free from damaging fungal infections.

How It Works

Thakar Rodia combines two active ingredients that attack fungi through different pathways. Azoxystrobin belongs to the Strobilurin group and works by inhibiting mitochondrial respiration in fungal cells. This stops the fungus from producing the energy it needs to grow and multiply, effectively halting the disease. Tebuconazole belongs to the Triazole group and disrupts ergosterol biosynthesis, a key component needed for building the fungal cell membrane. Without a healthy cell membrane, the fungus cannot survive or spread.

Because these two ingredients work through different mechanisms, they complement each other well. Azoxystrobin provides quick contact and systemic action, while Tebuconazole adds strong systemic movement and curative power. Together, they stop fungal growth at multiple stages of its life cycle, giving the crop both immediate and long-lasting protection. This dual approach is also why the product is effective against tough fungal diseases and why resistance is less likely to develop compared to single-active fungicides.

Technical Specifications

Recommended Dosage & Application

The dosage of Thakar Rodia varies by crop and the disease being controlled. Always use clean water for mixing and ensure uniform coverage of the crop. The following table shows the recommended crop-wise dosage and water dilution:

As a general guide, the product can also be used at 200–250 ml per acre for broad-spectrum disease control in crops like Soybean, Groundnut and vegetables. For per-litre mixing, the recommended rate is 1 ml per litre of water.

When to Use

Thakar Rodia is most effective when applied at the early stage of disease or as a preventive spray before infection spreads. For best results, apply when you first notice symptoms of fungal disease on the crop, such as spots on leaves, powdery coating, rust pustules or blight patches. Preventive application before the disease season begins gives the crop a protective shield.

Ensure proper and uniform coverage of the crop, especially the undersides of leaves where many fungal diseases start. Use clean water for mixing and avoid spraying during extreme weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong wind or very high temperatures, as these reduce the effectiveness of the spray. For crops like Rice and Wheat, time the application around the growth stages when sheath blight and rust are most likely to appear.

Step by Step Usage Instructions

1. Wear protective gloves, a mask and goggles before handling the product.
2. Fill the spray tank with the required amount of clean water as per the crop recommendation.
3. Add the measured quantity of Thakar Rodia to the water while stirring continuously to make a uniform suspension.
4. Mix well to ensure the product is evenly distributed in the water.
5. Spray the mixture uniformly over the crop, covering both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
6. Ensure complete coverage of stems, leaves and affected plant parts.
7. Do not exceed the recommended dosage for your crop.
8. After spraying, wash the spray equipment thoroughly and dispose of empty containers safely.
9. Wash hands and exposed skin with soap and water after handling.

Compatibility

Thakar Rodia can be used in combination with other pesticides, but it is important to check compatibility before mixing. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and consult an agricultural expert if you are unsure. Do a small jar test before mixing on a large scale to confirm the products are compatible.

Precautions & Safety

• Do not exceed the recommended dosage, as overuse can harm the crop.
• Wear protective gloves, a mask and goggles during mixing and application.
• Avoid contamination of water sources, ponds and streams.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.
• Keep the product away from food, feed and drinking water.
• Do not spray during heavy rain, strong wind or extreme heat.
• Dispose of empty containers properly according to local regulations.

PHI / REI & Storage

Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, moisture and children. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use.
