General Information:

Navi is a systemic fungicide that effectively controls early and late blight in tomatoes and potatoes. It is a wettable powder formulation that contains Propineb 70% as the active ingredient. Propineb belongs to the dithiocarbamate class of fungicides and offers preventive and curative action against fungal pathogens.

Active Ingredient:

• Propineb 70% WP

Mode of Action:

Propineb acts as a multi-site contact fungicide, interfering with various cellular processes in fungal pathogens, including respiration, amino acid synthesis, and cell membrane integrity. This multi-pronged attack disrupts the normal functioning of fungal cells, leading to their growth inhibition and ultimately causing their death.

Application:

Navi is applied as a foliar spray to the foliage of the target crops. Thorough coverage of the leaves and stems is essential for maximizing its effectiveness. The recommended application rate varies depending on the crop and the disease pressure.

Precautions:

• Navi is a moderately toxic fungicide and should be handled with care. Wear protective clothing, gloves, and goggles when handling the product.

• Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact occurs, flush with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention.

• Do not apply Navi to crops that are under stress from drought, flooding, or other factors.

• Do not apply Navi to water bodies or areas where there is a risk of runoff to water bodies. The fungicide is harmful to fish and aquatic organisms.

• To minimize the risk of resistance development, use Navi in rotation with fungicides from different chemical classes.
