function. This leads to the inhibition of fungal growth and ultimately the death of the
fungal pathogens.
How should Diniconazole 12.5% WP be applied for optimal
results?
Diniconazole 12.5% WP should be applied as a foliar spray at the recommended
dosage and timing for the specific crop and disease being targeted. It is important to
thoroughly cover the foliage of the plants with the spray solution to ensure effective
protection against fungal diseases.
What crops can Diniconazole 12.5% WP be used
