Dafine 250 SC

Dafine 250 SC is a systemic fungicide formulated as an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) designed for controlling fungal diseases in various crops. With an active ingredient concentration of 250 g/l from the triazole group, it provides both preventive and curative protection by inhibiting sterol biosynthesis. Details

Description

  • Active Ingredient:
    • Contains 250 g/l of active ingredient (from the triazole group)
  • Mode of Action:
    Inhibition of Ergosterol Biosynthesis: Dafine 250 SC works by inhibiting the enzyme C14-demethylase, which is essential for ergosterol synthesis—an integral component of fungal cell membranes.
    Systemic and Translaminar Action: Once applied, the product is rapidly absorbed through the foliage and evenly translocated throughout the plant, protecting both treated areas and new growth.
    Preventive and Curative Use: It can be applied preventively before infection or curatively at the first signs of disease, thereby reducing disease development effectively.
  • Usage Instructions (example):
    1. Dilute Dafine 250 SC in water as per label instructions (e.g., 200–400 L/ha) to obtain a uniform spray solution.
    2. Apply as a foliar spray to ensure complete coverage of the crop.
    3. Reapply every 14–21 days depending on environmental conditions and disease pressure.
    4. Follow label recommendations for dosage and safety intervals.

Advantages:

  • Provides effective fungal disease control through systemic and translaminar action.
  • Offers both preventive and curative protection, reducing the risk of resistance development.
  • Robust formulation ensures consistent performance under variable weather conditions.
