Introduction

Tizca Fungicide is a broad-spectrum fungicide that effectively controls a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops, including vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, and turfgrass. It contains the active ingredient thiuram, a dithiocarbamate fungicide that disrupts multiple cellular processes in fungal cells, leading to cell death.

Mode of Action

Tizca Fungicide acts as a protective and curative fungicide. Thiuram interferes with the synthesis of vital cellular components in fungal cells, including nucleic acids, proteins, and enzymes. This disruption leads to the inhibition of cell division, respiration, and other essential cellular processes, ultimately causing fungal death.

Application Rates

The recommended application rate of Tizca Fungicide varies depending on the specific crop, target disease, severity of infection, and application method. It is essential to consult the product label for precise application rates tailored to each scenario.

Application Methods

Tizca Fungicide can be applied using various methods, including foliar spray, seed treatment, and soil drench. The choice of application method depends on the crop, target disease, and grower's preference. Refer to the product label for specific application instructions for each method.

  • Avoid using Tizca Fungicide in areas with sandy soils or high groundwater levels, as it may leach into water sources.
