Systemic fungicides and Contact Fungicides List, and their Doses in common plant diseases!

Great! Here are recommended fungicide options based on specific crop needs:

Recommended Fungicides by Crop Type

Crop	Recommended Fungicide	Best Against	Mode of Action
Rice	Bavistin, Contaf Plus	Blast, Sheath Blight	Systemic
Wheat	SAAF, Score	Leaf Spot, Rust	Systemic
Cotton	Ridomil Gold, Bavistin	Anthracnose, Root Rot	Systemic & Contact
Soybean	SAAF, Kavach	Powdery Mildew, Cercospora Leaf Spot	Contact & Systemic
Tomato	Score, Ridomil Gold	Early & Late Blight	Systemic
Potato	ROKA, Ridomil Gold	Black Scurf, Blight	Systemic & Contact
Chili	Bavistin, Kavach	Leaf Spot, Dieback	Systemic & Contact
Cucumber	SAAF, ROKA	Powdery & Downy Mildew	Systemic
Grapes	Score, ROKA	Powdery Mildew	Systemic
Apple	Score, Contaf Plus	Scab, Alternaria Leaf Spot	Systemic
Tea	Bavistin, SAAF	Blister Blight, Leaf Spot	Systemic & Contact
Groundnut	Ridomil Gold, Kavach	Tikka Disease, Rust	Contact & Systemic

Key Takeaways

• Systemic fungicides (like Bavistin, Score, ROKA) penetrate plant tissues, ensuring long-lasting protection.
• Contact fungicides (like Kavach, Ridomil Gold) create an external barrier, preventing fungal growth.
• Combination fungicides (like SAAF, Ridomil Gold) provide dual-action control.

Fungicide Comparison Table:

Here’s a comparison table highlighting the effectiveness and cost differences of various fungicides:

Fungicide	Active Ingredient	Best For	Mode of Action	Price Range	Effectiveness
Bavistin	Carbendazim 50% WP	Broad-spectrum control	Systemic (Preventive & Curative)	Moderate	High
SAAF	Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP	Vegetables, fruits, cereals	Systemic & Contact	Moderate	Very High
SCORE	Difenoconazole 25% EC	High-value horticultural crops	Systemic	High	Very High
KAVACH	Chlorothalonil 75% WP	Crops are prone to resistant fungal strains	Contact	Moderate	High
RIDOMIL GOLD	Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP	Soil-borne and foliar fungal infections	Systemic & Contact	High	Very High
ROKA	Azoxystrobin 23% SC	Crops prone to resistant fungal strains	Systemic	High	Very High
CONTAF Plus	Hexaconazole 5% SC	Rice, sugarcane, wheat	Systemic	Moderate	High

Key Differences

• Systemic vs. Contact Action: Systemic fungicides protect internal plant tissues, while contact fungicides act externally.
• Effectiveness: Products like SAAF, SCORE, and RIDOMIL GOLD offer superior control due to their dual-action composition.
• Pricing: High-value fungicides (SCORE, RIDOMIL GOLD, ROKA) are costlier but provide stronger resistance management.

Common Fungicide Dosage Guide:

Fungicide	Active Ingredient	Recommended Dose	Target Crop	Controlled Diseases
Bavistin	Carbendazim 50% WP	1-2 g/L water	Rice, wheat, cotton, soybean	Blast, Leaf Spot, Anthracnose
SAAF	Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP	2 g/L water	Vegetables, fruits, cereals	Powdery Mildew, Cercospora Leaf Spot
SCORE	Difenoconazole 25% EC	0.5-1 ml/L water	Apples, grapes, citrus	Scab, Powdery Mildew
RIDOMIL GOLD	Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP	2.5 g/L water	Potato, tomato, groundnut	Late Blight, Damping-off
KAVACH	Chlorothalonil 75% WP	2 g/L water	Cereals, vegetables, oilseeds	Rust, Leaf Spot
ROKA	Azoxystrobin 23% SC	1 ml/L water	Vegetables, ornamental plants	Downy Mildew, Blight

M-45	Mancozeb 75% WP	2 g/L water	Potato, tomato, tea	Early & Late Blight

Application Tips

• Dosage varies based on environmental conditions and disease severity.
• Preventive spraying ensures better disease control.
• Avoid excessive use to prevent resistance buildup.
