Bindass - Tricyclazole 75% WP - HPM

HPM Bindass: Product Overview

HPM Bindass contains Tricyclazole 75% WP, a systemic wettable-powder fungicide registered in India for the management of blast in paddy (rice).

Tricyclazole belongs to the triazolobenzothiazole chemical family. FRAC classifies it as Group 16.1, an MBI-R fungicide that inhibits the reductase step in fungal melanin biosynthesis. It must not be described as MBI-D, which is a separate FRAC 16.2 group.

HPM's current Bindass page gives a brand recommendation of 120-160 g per acre in 200 litres of water per acre with a 30-day waiting period. The Government of India major-use table gives 300-400 g formulation per hectare in 500 litres of water per hectare and the same 30-day PHI. Both official area-based directions are shown below without inventing a universal grams-per-litre dose.

Why Choose Bindass?

• Specialist registered role: the approved crop-disease use on the checked Indian records is paddy blast.
• Clear formulation identity: Tricyclazole 75% WP is a concentrated wettable powder that must be measured in grams, not millilitres.
• Defined mode of action: FRAC Group 16.1 identifies its MBI-R resistance group and helps distinguish same-group substitutes from true rotation options.
• Systemic movement: HPM describes rapid absorption through rice roots and foliage followed by movement towards leaf tips.
• Label-led use: crop, disease, dose, water volume and PHI are tied to official Indian directions rather than unsupported marketplace claims.

How Tricyclazole Works

1. Melanin-pathway targeting: the rice blast fungus relies on normal melanin formation in its infection structure.
2. Reductase inhibition: Tricyclazole interferes with the reductase step of fungal melanin biosynthesis, giving it the FRAC description MBI-R.
3. Penetration is impaired: disruption of this pathway reduces the pathogen's ability to form a normally functioning penetration structure and establish infection.

FRAC recommends preventive positioning within an anti-resistance program. Switching from Bindass to another Tricyclazole 75% WP brand does not rotate the mode of action because both products remain Group 16.1.

Verified Indian Use, Dose, Water and PHI

PHI is the minimum interval between the last application and harvest. The per-acre row is HPM's published Bindass direction; the per-hectare row is the Government of India formulation record. Do not combine the rows or convert them into a universal tank dose. The current physical product label is the final authority.

Application and Safety Guidance

• Confirm paddy, blast, the area rate, water volume and 30-day PHI on the current Bindass pack before use.
• Measure the treated area accurately. Calculate product and water from one complete label direction; do not estimate dose from pack size.
• As a wettable powder, Bindass must be handled carefully to avoid breathing dust. Follow the pack's mixing order, agitation, equipment and nozzle instructions.
• HPM states that Tricyclazole is rapidly absorbed by rice plants and moved towards leaf tips, and advises that rainfall one hour after application does not require an automatic repeat spray. Confirm that wording on the current pack before relying on it.
• No tank-mix, simultaneous-use or compatibility claim is made here. Apply any separately recommended program product only under its own current Indian label.
• Wear every item of personal protective equipment stated on the current label. Avoid skin, eye and inhalation exposure; wash after handling and keep food, drink and tobacco away from the work area.
• Prevent product, spray liquid, equipment washings and packaging from entering ponds, drains, waterways or aquaculture areas. Store in the original closed pack away from food, feed, medicines, children and animals.

Resistance-Management Guidance

Bindass and all other Tricyclazole 75% WP products share FRAC Group 16.1. A brand change alone is not a resistance rotation. When another fungicide treatment is justified, choose a separately applied product from a genuinely different FRAC group only when that product's own current Indian label covers paddy blast. Follow each label's individual rate, water, timing, maximum-use limit and PHI.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does HPM Bindass contain?
Tricyclazole 75% WP, a systemic FRAC Group 16.1 MBI-R fungicide.

What is the verified Indian use?
The checked HPM and Government of India records list blast in paddy (rice).

What is the official dose?
HPM lists 120-160 g/acre in 200 L water/acre. The Government formulation record lists 300-400 g/ha in 500 L water/ha. Use the complete direction printed on the current pack.

What is the pre-harvest interval?
Both checked records state 30 days for the paddy-blast use.

Are Force11 and Saikin different-mode rotations?
No. They also contain Tricyclazole 75% WP and are same-active, Group 16.1 substitutes.

Can Bindass be tank-mixed?
No tank-mix advice is provided here. Do not combine it with another input unless the current physical label or an authorised local recommendation explicitly permits that exact mixture.
