Introduction

TUSSLE 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 two active ingredients: tebuconazole and sulfur.

• Tebuconazole is a triazole fungicide that disrupts the synthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. Without ergosterol, the cell membrane becomes unstable and permeable, leading to leakage of cellular contents and ultimately cell death.

• Sulfur is a natural fungicide that has been used for centuries to control a variety of plant diseases. Sulfur disrupts the cell membranes and enzymes of fungal cells, leading to cell death.

The combination of tebuconazole and sulfur provides both protective and curative action, making TUSSLE Fungicide an effective tool for controlling a wide range of fungal diseases.

Mode of Action

TUSSLE Fungicide acts as a protective and curative fungicide. Tebuconazole is absorbed by plant tissues and moves within the plant, providing systemic protection against fungal infections. It also acts as a contact fungicide, providing protection against fungal spores and actively growing fungal colonies. Sulfur acts primarily as a contact fungicide, providing protection against fungal spores and actively growing fungal colonies.

Application Rates

The recommended application rate of TUSSLE 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

TUSSLE 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.

Restrictions

As with any fungicide, there are certain restrictions to consider when using TUSSLE Fungicide:

• Avoid applying TUSSLE Fungicide to crops under stress from drought, heat, or other environmental conditions.

• Maintain a minimum interval of 5-7 days between TUSSLE Fungicide application and other pesticide applications.

• Do not apply TUSSLE Fungicide to crops that are flowering or intended for human or animal consumption within the specified pre-harvest interval (PHI).

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

Storage and Disposal

Proper storage and disposal of TUSSLE Fungicide are crucial to ensure its effectiveness and safety:

• Store TUSSLE Fungicide in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.

• Dispose of unused TUSSLE Fungicide and empty containers according to local regulations, avoiding contamination of water sources or the environment.

• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a respirator, to minimize exposure to the product.

• Avoid direct contact of TUSSLE Fungicide with skin, eyes, or clothing.

• Handle TUSSLE Fungicide away from food and drink.

• Keep TUSSLE Fungicide out of reach of children and pets.

• Do not apply TUSSLE Fungicide in windy conditions to prevent drift onto non-target areas.
