How It Works
Kasugamycin is classified in FRAC Group 24 and interferes with protein synthesis at the ribosome initiation step. Copper oxychloride is an inorganic, multi-site contact fungicide in FRAC Group M01. The two components have different roles, but the mixture still requires label-directed resistance stewardship.
- Confirm the registered crop and disease.
- Apply the crop-specific rate in the stated water volume.
- Follow resistance-management guidance: do not assume that the multi-site component makes repeated Group 24 use resistance-proof.

Dosage, Water Volume & Waiting Period
The table keeps the official registered units. Do not detach a dose from its crop and water volume or turn it into a universal pump or tank rate.
| Crop | Formulation dose | Water volume | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | 750 g/ha | 400–1,000 L/ha | 37 days |
| Rice | 700 g/ha | 375 L/ha | 26 days |
| Pomegranate | 0.1% | 500–1,000 L/ha | 10 days |
If the current pack label differs, follow the current approved label.
Export-grape note: The APEDA/EU export programme is stricter: it lists 750 g/ha with a 70-day PHI and says to avoid use after flowering. Identify the destination market and follow the current residue programme; do not replace the domestic 37-day interval with a universal value.
