Zudio is a broad-spectrum fungicide manufactured by Dharmaj Crop Guard, a leading agrochemical company in India. It is a combination of two powerful fungicides, azoxystrobin (4.8%) and chlorothalonil (40%), which work synergistically to provide effective control against a wide range of fungal diseases affecting various crops.

Azoxystrobin: Azoxystrobin belongs to the strobilurin class of fungicides and exhibits both preventive and curative properties. It interferes with the cellular respiration process of fungi, thereby disrupting their energy production and growth. Azoxystrobin is particularly effective against powdery mildews, downy mildews, and leaf spots.

Chlorothalonil: Chlorothalonil belongs to the chlorothalonil class of fungicides and acts as a contact fungicide. It disrupts the cell wall synthesis of fungi, leading to cell collapse and death. Chlorothalonil is effective against a broad spectrum of fungal diseases, including early and late blights, anthracnoses, and cercospora leaf spots.

Application and Dosage:

Zudio is available as a suspension concentrate (SC) formulation and is applied as a foliar spray. The recommended dosage varies depending on the crop, target disease, and severity of the infection. Consult the product label or an agricultural specialist for specific application guidelines.

Precautions and Storage:

  • Zudio is moderately toxic to humans and animals. Handle with care and wear protective gloves, eyewear, and clothing when handling or applying the product.
  • Avoid direct contact with skin, eyes, and clothing.
  • Do not apply Zudio to crops intended for human or animal consumption.
  • Store Zudio in a cool, dry place, away from heat, direct sunlight, and children.

Conclusion:

Zudio is a versatile and effective fungicide that provides broad-spectrum disease control in various crops. Its combination of azoxystrobin and chlorothalonil offers both preventive and curative action, making it a valuable tool for managing a wide range of fungal diseases. When used as directed, Zudio can help farmers protect their crops and ensure optimal yields.
