Blitox - Copper Oxychloride 50% WP - Rallis India

Rallis Blitox Fungicide: Product Overview

Rallis Blitox is a contact, protective fungicide containing Copper Oxychloride 50% WP. Rallis classifies it as a copper-based, multi-site product with contact activity.

The Rallis-specific Indian label covers named diseases in thirteen crops. It supplies crop-specific formulation rates and water volumes, a 24-hour re-entry period and one to two foliar sprays depending on disease pressure. The table below retains the registered hectare units; it does not invent a universal per-acre or per-litre dose.

FRAC places inorganic copper salts in Group M01, chemicals with multi-site contact activity. That classification can support resistance-management planning, but it is not permission to use Blitox on an unlisted crop or disease.

Why Choose Rallis Blitox?

• Verified composition: Copper Oxychloride 50% in a wettable-powder formulation.
• Contact protection: remains primarily on treated surfaces, making timely application and complete coverage important.
• Multi-site activity: inorganic copper is classified in FRAC Group M01.
• Broad registered crop table: the Rallis label provides specific uses across vegetables, fruit, field and plantation crops.
• Clear application safeguards: the label specifies foliar spraying, suitable high-volume equipment, a hollow-cone nozzle and a 24-hour re-entry period.

How Blitox Works

1. Surface deposit: the contact formulation forms a protective deposit on the treated plant surface.
2. Copper-ion release: moisture permits copper ions to become available to germinating spores and other susceptible target organisms.
3. Multi-site disruption: absorbed copper interferes with multiple proteins and enzyme systems. Because the product is not described as a fully systemic curative treatment, thorough coverage and label timing matter.

Verified Indian Uses, Dose, Water and PHI

The Rallis label displays a dash for PHI; this does not mean zero days or exemption. Follow the current physical pack and applicable harvest-residue requirements. All rates remain per hectare. Do not derive a per-litre or per-acre rate unless the exact label water volume and treated area are used.

Application and Safety

• Apply as a foliar spray when the registered disease first appears, from the vegetative to reproductive stage, using one or two sprays according to disease pressure and the current label.
• Use the recommended dose and water volume. The label identifies high-volume knapsack, foot, compression-knapsack, battery or HTP sprayers with a hollow-cone nozzle.
• Prefer morning or evening. Do not spray during rain, wind or hot sunny periods, and do not apply during crop maturity or just before harvest.
• This page provides no tank-mix, antibiotic, safener, fertiliser or adjuvant recommendation. Follow all crop-safety directions on the physical label.
• Wear protective clothing while measuring, mixing and spraying. Avoid inhalation and do not eat, drink, smoke or chew during application. Wash exposed skin and contaminated clothing after use.
• Keep people out of the treated area for 24 hours. Keep the product away from children, food and feed, and store it locked in the original labelled container in a cool, dry place.
• Copper Oxychloride is toxic to fish and other aquatic organisms. Do not use near aquaculture or allow spray, washings or surplus material to enter water bodies.

Resistance-Management Guidance

FRAC classifies inorganic copper as Group M01, a multi-site contact group generally considered low risk. Continue good stewardship: use only the registered rate and timing, avoid unnecessary repeat treatments, and base any separately applied rotation product on its own Indian crop-and-disease label. Do not interpret a recommendation as permission to mix products.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Rallis Blitox contain?
Copper Oxychloride 50% WP.

What is its FRAC group?
Inorganic copper salts are FRAC Group M01, a multi-site contact group.

Is the 500 g pack a fixed dose for one acre?
No. The registered rates are stated per hectare and differ for some crop-and-disease rows. Measure the treated area and follow the current pack.

What is the pre-harvest interval?
The Rallis source label provides no numeric PHI. A dash must not be presented as zero days or an exemption; follow the physical pack and applicable residue requirements.

Can Blitox be mixed with another pesticide, antibiotic or adjuvant?
No mixture advice is provided here. Use it as a standalone product unless the current label and an authorised crop adviser expressly support the exact combination.
