Agni - Tricyclazole 75% WP - Coromandel

Coromandel Agni Fungicide: Product Overview

Coromandel Agni is a systemic wettable-powder fungicide containing Tricyclazole 75% WP. Coromandel lists it for the management of blast in paddy (rice).

Tricyclazole belongs to the triazolobenzothiazole chemical group. FRAC classifies it as Group 16.1, an I1 / MBI-R fungicide that inhibits the reductase step in fungal melanin biosynthesis. It must not be described as an insecticide or assigned an IRAC code, and it must not be confused with FRAC 16.2 MBI-D fungicides.

The Government of India major-use table through 30 September 2025 lists Tricyclazole 75% WP for paddy blast at 300-400 g formulation per hectare in 500 litres of water per hectare, with a 30-day pre-harvest interval. Coromandel separately publishes 120-160 g per acre for Agni. Each source's area-based figures are kept in its original units and are not converted into one universal grams-per-litre, pump or tank dose.

Why Choose Agni?

• Focused rice-blast scope: the selected Coromandel and Government sources both support paddy (rice) blast.
• Systemic activity: Coromandel states that Agni is absorbed by leaves and translocated within the plant.
• Defined resistance group: FRAC Group 16.1 identifies its MBI-R mode of action and helps distinguish same-group substitutes from genuinely different-group program options.
• Verified pack listing: Coromandel's crop-protection booklet lists 120 g and 250 g packs; the current physical pack remains controlling.

Verified Technical Specifications

How Tricyclazole Works

1. Melanin-pathway action: Tricyclazole interferes with the reductase step in fungal melanin biosynthesis, giving it the FRAC description MBI-R.
2. Infection-process effect: disrupting this pathway restricts the rice-blast pathogen's ability to form the melanised structures needed for successful penetration.
3. Preventive positioning: FRAC guidance positions Tricyclazole preventively within an anti-resistance program rather than as a guaranteed repair for tissue already damaged by disease.

Labelled Crop and Disease Reference

The per-acre figure is published by Coromandel. The active-ingredient, formulation, water and PHI figures come from the Government major-use table through 30 September 2025. Keep these source units separate and follow the current Agni pack. Do not calculate a universal grams-per-litre, knapsack, pump, tank or packs-per-acre rate from this table.

Application and Resistance Stewardship

• Confirm paddy blast and read the complete current Agni pack before measuring or spraying.
• Follow the pack's crop-specific timing, amount, water volume, application interval, maximum uses, re-entry and harvest directions.
• FRAC recommends preventive use as part of an anti-resistance program. Do not wait for severe disease or assume dead tissue can be restored.
• Do not mix Agni with alkaline material. No other tank mix, simultaneous-use recommendation, adjuvant or fertiliser combination is supplied here.
• Another Tricyclazole 75% WP brand remains FRAC Group 16.1 and is a purchase substitute, not a different-mode resistance rotation.
• If a different fungicide is agronomically justified, use it separately and only when its own current Indian label covers paddy blast. Follow that product's directions independently.

Safety, Storage and Environmental Care

• Read the current label and leaflet before opening the pack. Wear every item of PPE specified there while measuring, mixing, spraying and cleaning equipment.
• Avoid breathing wettable-powder dust or spray mist and avoid skin and eye contact. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling; wash thoroughly afterwards.
• Prevent spray, drift, runoff and equipment wash water from contaminating homes, food, feed, wells, ponds, drains or other water bodies.
• Keep the original labelled pack sealed in a cool, dry, ventilated and locked place away from children and animals. Do not reuse an empty pesticide container.
• For exposure, spill, first aid and disposal, follow the current pack and seek qualified medical or emergency advice. No toxicity-colour claim is made here.
