FAQ
What is Cyprodinil 30% SC?
Cyprodinil 30% SC is a systemic fungicide that controls a
wide range of fungal diseases in various crops. It contains 30% Cyprodinil as the active
ingredient, which acts by inhibiting fungal spore germination and mycelial growth, thereby
preventing the spread of diseases.
How does Cyprodinil 30% SC work?
Cyprodinil
30% SC works by inhibiting the germination of fungal spores and the growth of fungal
mycelium. It disrupts the biochemical processes in the fungi, leading to the suppression of
diseases. The systemic nature of Cyprodinil allows for even distribution within the plant to
provide long-lasting protection.
What crops can Cyprodinil 30% SC be used
on?
Cyprodinil 30% SC can be used on a wide range of crops, including fruits,
vegetables, ornamentals, and field crops. It is effective against various fungal diseases
such as powdery mildew, gray mold, and leaf spots in crops like grapes, tomatoes, cucurbits,
and wheat.
How should Cyprodinil 30% SC be applied?
Cyprodinil 30% SC should
be applied as a foliar spray using a recommended spray volume to ensure good coverage. It is
important to follow the recommended application rates and timing as specified on the product
label. Tank-mixing with other compatible fungicides may enhance the efficacy of
Cyprodinil.
Is Cyprodinil 30% SC safe to use?
Cyprodinil 30% SC is safe to use
when applied according to the label instructions. It has a favorable toxicological profile
and is not known to cause harm to humans, animals, or the environment when used
appropriately. However, it is important to wear appropriate personal protective equipment
during mixing and application.
What is the shelf life of Cyprodinil 30%
SC?

away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. It is important to keep the product in
its original packaging and to avoid exposure to moisture to maintain its
effectiveness.
Can Cyprodinil 30% SC be used in resistance management
programs?
Yes, Cyprodinil 30% SC can be used as part of an integrated disease
management strategy to help manage resistance development in fungal pathogens. Rotating with
other fungicides that have different modes of action can help reduce the risk of resistance
development.
What are the advantages of using Cyprodinil 30% SC?
Some
advantages of using Cyprodinil 30% SC include its broad-spectrum activity against a wide
range of fungal diseases, its systemic action for long-lasting protection, its compatibility
with other fungicides for tank-mixing, and its safety profile for humans and the
environment.
Is Cyprodinil 30% SC suitable for organic farming?
Cyprodinil 30%
SC is not approved for use in organic farming due to its synthetic nature. Organic farmers
may prefer to use natural or organic fungicides that are allowed under organic certification
standards.
