Cursor - Flusilazole 40% EC - Dhanuka

Dhanuka Cursor Fungicide: Product Overview

Dhanuka Cursor contains Flusilazole 40% EC, a triazole DMI fungicide in FRAC Group 3.

The current Indian major-use table lists Cursor's active and formulation for rice sheath blight and chilli powdery mildew. Each crop has a different formulation dose and pre-harvest interval, so follow the relevant crop row rather than applying one universal per-litre rate.

Verified Product Benefits

• Registered rice use: The official major-use directions include sheath blight in rice.
• Registered chilli use: The directions include powdery mildew in chilli.
• Defined mode-of-action group: Flusilazole is a Group 3 DMI fungicide, supporting deliberate resistance planning.
• Low formulation volume: Crop-specific directions are stated in millilitres per hectare with a defined water volume.
• Clear harvest guidance: The official table provides a separate PHI for rice and chilli.

Technical Specifications

How Cursor Works

FRAC classifies flusilazole in Group 3. DMI fungicides inhibit sterol 14-alpha-demethylase (CYP51), disrupting ergosterol biosynthesis required for normal fungal cell-membrane development. Group 3 is considered a medium resistance-risk group, and cross-resistance may occur among DMI fungicides active on the same pathogen.

Do not describe Cursor as a benzimidazole, dual-active product, contact-plus-systemic mixture or resistance-proof solution. Use a resistance-management programme based on the current label and qualified local advice.

Registered Crops, Diseases and Label Directions

PHI means pre-harvest interval. The verified statutory table does not support one universal per-litre or pump dose.

Application and Resistance-Stewardship Guide

• Confirm the disease: Use only for a crop-and-disease combination on the current Indian label.
• Measure by crop: Apply the formulation dose and water volume for the relevant row above.
• Timing: Dhanuka advises starting the rice application at disease initiation. Follow the current pack for timing and any repeat application.
• Resistance management: Avoid repeated reliance on Group 3 alone; choose any different mode of action only when its own current label supports the crop and disease.
• Mixing: No tank-mix or universal compatibility recommendation is made here.

Safety and Storage

Wear protective clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, a suitable mask and boots while measuring, mixing and spraying. Avoid skin, eye, mouth and inhalation exposure; wash after handling. Prevent drift, runoff and equipment washings from contaminating people, livestock, beneficial organisms and water. Store the sealed original pack in a locked, cool, dry and ventilated pesticide area away from children, food, feed and seed.

No numeric re-entry interval, maximum application count, exact toxicity class or antidote is stated here because a current official Cursor statutory leaflet was not available in the verified sources. Follow the current physical pack for those instructions and seek urgent medical attention after suspected exposure.

Disclaimer: This information supports product selection and does not replace the statutory label. Always follow the current Dhanuka Cursor pack and leaflet for crop, dose, timing, PHI, first aid, storage and disposal.
