Fossil (Anu Products Limited) is a broad-spectrum fungicide containing Azoxystrobin 18.2% and Difenaconazole 11.4% SC.

Mode of action:

• Azoxystrobin is a quinone outside inhibitor (QoI) fungicide that works by blocking the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), a molecule that is essential for fungal energy production and growth.
• Difenaconazole is a triazole fungicide that works by disrupting the production of ergosterol, a component of fungal cell membranes.

Benefits of using Fossil:

• Broad-spectrum control of a wide range of fungal diseases, including powdery mildew, rust, leaf spot, and anthracnose.
• Systemic and contact activity for both preventative and curative control.
• Rainfast within 2 hours of application.
• Long residual activity (up to 21 days) for extended protection.
• Safe for use on a variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, ornamentals, and field crops.

Application rates and methods:

The application rate of Fossil varies depending on the crop being grown and the target disease. However, the general recommendation is to apply Fossil at a rate of 200-400 ml per acre. Fossil can be applied foliarly, through the irrigation system, or as a seed soak.

Foliar application:

Fossil can be applied to the leaves of plants using a backpack sprayer, boom sprayer, or aerial application. When applying Fossil to broadleaf weeds, it is important to ensure that the spray covers the entire leaf surface.

Application through the irrigation system:

Fossil can be applied to crops through the irrigation system by adding it to the irrigation water. This method of application is often used for large-scale applications.

Seed soak:

Fossil can be used as a seed soak to protect seedlings from damping-off. To do this, simply soak the seeds in a solution of Fossil and water for 24 hours before planting.

Safety precautions:

Fossil is a relatively safe fungicide, but it is important to always follow the safety precautions on the product label. Wear gloves, long sleeves, and goggles when handling Fossil to avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Overall, Fossil is a versatile and effective fungicide that can be used to control a wide range of fungal diseases on a variety of crops.
