Introduction

Milduvip (Godrej Agrovet Ltd) Thiophanate Methyl 70 WP is a broad-spectrum fungicide used to control a wide range of fungal diseases on a variety of crops, including rice, vegetables, fruit trees, and ornamentals.

Mode of Action

Thiophanate methyl is a benzimidazole fungicide that inhibits the growth and development of fungi by interfering with their cellular processes. Specifically, it binds to tubulin, a protein essential for the formation of microtubules. Microtubules are involved in various critical functions in fungal cells, including cell division, spore germination, and nutrient transport. When thiophanate methyl disrupts microtubule formation, these essential processes are impaired, leading to the death of the fungal cells.

Application Rates

The application rate of Milduvip will vary depending on the target disease, crop, and environmental conditions. In general, the application rate will range from 0.5 to 1 gram per liter of water.

Application Methods

Milduvip can be applied by foliar spray, seed treatment, or soil drench. Foliar spray is the most common application method for controlling foliar diseases. Seed treatment is used to protect seedlings from fungal diseases, while soil drench is used to control soilborne diseases.

Application Timing

Milduvip should be applied when the crop is at a susceptible stage of growth and when disease pressure is high. For instance, in rice, Milduvip can be applied at the tillering stage to control blast, and at the booting stage to control sheath blight.

Re-entry Interval

The re-entry interval for Milduvip is 12 hours, meaning that people should not enter the treated area until 12 hours after the last application.

Milduvip is a toxic chemical that should be handled with care. Always wear protective clothing, such as gloves, goggles, and a respirator, when handling the product. Do not apply the product in windy conditions or near water sources. Keep the product out of reach of children and pets.
