FAQ
What is Ethylicin 15% WP and how does it work?
Ethylicin 15% WP is a powerful
fungicide that contains 15% Ethylicin as the active ingredient. Ethylicin works by
disrupting the cell membranes of fungal pathogens, effectively stopping their growth and
spread. This mode of action makes Ethylicin an effective tool for controlling a wide range
of fungal diseases in various crops.
How should Ethylicin 15% WP be
applied?
Ethylicin 15% WP should be applied as a foliar spray at the recommended
dosage rate. It is important to thoroughly mix the product in water before application and
ensure that the entire plant surface is adequately covered. Repeated applications may be
necessary, depending on the severity of the disease and the specific crop being
treated.
What are the benefits of using Ethylicin 15% WP?
Ethylicin 15% WP
offers several benefits to farmers and growers. It provides effective control of fungal
diseases, including resistant strains, without harming beneficial organisms or the
environment. Additionally, Ethylicin has a short pre-harvest interval, allowing for safe and
timely application close to harvest. Its systemic action also provides long-lasting
protection against various pathogens.
Is Ethylicin 15% WP safe to use around humans
and animals?
Ethylicin 15% WP is formulated to be safe for humans, animals, and the
environment when used according to the label instructions. It is important to follow all
safety precautions, such as wearing protective clothing and equipment during application.
After application, it is recommended to keep humans and animals away from treated areas
until the product has dried.
Can Ethylicin 15% WP be tank-mixed with other
pesticides?
Ethylicin 15% WP can be tank-mixed with certain compatible pesticides to
enhance its spectrum of control. However, it is essential to conduct a small-scale
compatibility test before tank-mixing with other products to avoid any adverse effects on
efficacy. Always refer to the product label for specific tank-mixing instructions and
compatibility information.
What is the recommended storage and handling of Ethylicin
15% WP?
Ethylicin 15% WP should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct
sunlight and sources of heat. Properly reseal the container after each use and keep it out
of reach of children and pets. When handling the product, wear appropriate personal
protective equipment and avoid contact with eyes, skin, or clothing. Dispose of any empty
containers according to local regulations.
How long does Ethylicin 15% WP remain
effective after application?
Ethylicin 15% WP provides residual protection against
fungal pathogens for an extended period after application. The exact duration of efficacy
may vary depending on environmental conditions, crop susceptibility, and disease pressure.
Regular scouting and monitoring of treated crops will help determine the need for
reapplication to maintain control.
What crops can Ethylicin 15% WP be used
on?
Ethylicin 15% WP is approved for use on a wide range of crops, including but not
limited to fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and field crops. It is suitable for both
pre-planting and post-planting applications to combat various fungal diseases that affect
crop yield and quality. Always consult the product label for specific crop recommendations
and application rates.
Does Ethylicin 15% WP have any resistance
issues?
Ethylicin 15% WP has a unique mode of action that minimizes the risk of
resistance development in fungal pathogens. However, it is crucial to practice integrated
pest management strategies, such as rotating fungicides with different modes of action, to
prevent the emergence of resistant strains. Regular monitoring of disease incidence and
efficacy will help identify any potential resistance issues early on.
