Description:

AGRIVENTURE CAPETOUN is a broad-spectrum, contact-action protective fungicide widely used to prevent fungal diseases in fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals. It inhibits fungal spore germination, effectively controlling blights, downy mildew, and rot. It is versatile, functioning both as a seed dresser and a foliar spray.

Technical content: Captan 50% WP

Key Features & Benefits:

• Broad-Spectrum Protection: Highly effective against a wide array of fungal infections like scab, early/late blight, downy mildew, brown rot, and anthracnose.
• Dual Usage: Can be used as both a seed-dresser (to control seed-borne/soil-borne diseases) and a foliar spray.
• Resistance Management: Excellent for integrated pest management (IPM) as it protects single-site and systemic fungicides from excessive resistance pressure.
• Eco-Friendly & Safe: Compatible with beneficial insects and has a favorable toxicity profile for users and the environment.
• Rain-fastness: Provides reliable protection that becomes rain-fast within roughly 2 hours of application.
• Improves Fruit Finish: Known to enhance the market quality and aesthetic finish of apples and other crops.

• Carrots: Alternaria Blight and Leaf Spot.

Mode of entry: Contact

Mode of action: It creates a protective barrier on plant tissues, disrupting multiple metabolic processes inside fungal cells (such as enzyme inhibition and cellular respiration) to prevent spore germination and mycelial growth.

Mode of application: Foliar spraying, Seed dressing or Soil drenching

Dose: 25 - 30gm in 15-liter water
