Phoneix - Propiconazole 25% EC - HPM

HPM Phoneix (Phoenix) Propiconazole 25% EC Fungicide Overview

HPM Phoneix, commonly searched as HPM Phoenix, is a systemic foliar fungicide containing Propiconazole 25% EC. It belongs to the triazole group and is classified in FRAC Group 3.

HPM lists Phoneix for label-directed management of specified fungal diseases in wheat, rice, groundnut, tea and soybean. The official trade spelling is Phoneix; “Phoenix” is included here only to help customers recognise the product. Use it solely on the crop-and-disease combinations printed on the current pack label.

Why Choose HPM Phoneix?

• Verified formulation: Propiconazole 25% EC systemic fungicide from HPM.
• Systemic foliar activity: The active ingredient is absorbed by foliage and moves acropetally through the xylem.
• Protective and curative role: Propiconazole is a DMI fungicide intended for label-listed disease-management programmes.
• Clear resistance group: FRAC Group 3 classification supports responsible rotation planning with fungicides from other effective groups.
• Multiple pack sizes: Available in 100 ml, 250 ml, 500 ml and 1 litre packs.

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

Propiconazole is a demethylation inhibitor (DMI). It interferes with C14-demethylation in sterol biosynthesis, affecting ergosterol production required by susceptible fungi. After foliar application, it is absorbed and moves upward through the xylem.

1. Absorption: Applied spray is taken up by treated plant surfaces.
2. Systemic movement: The active ingredient moves acropetally in the plant.
3. Fungal growth inhibition: Sterol biosynthesis is disrupted in susceptible label-listed pathogens.

Repeated use of the same mode-of-action group can select resistant populations. Follow the current label and rotate with effective fungicides from different FRAC groups where an approved local programme permits.

Dosage & Application Guide

Use the crop-specific per-acre dose with the stated spray-water volume. The figures below reproduce the HPM product guidance for the retained crop-and-disease uses. The current pack label always takes precedence.

PHI means pre-harvest interval. No per-litre rate has been derived from these per-area directions; use calibrated equipment and the complete crop-specific water volume.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Confirm the diagnosis: Use only for the exact crop and fungal disease permitted by the current label.
• Calibrate equipment: Measure the stated per-acre quantity and spray-water volume accurately.
• Timing and frequency: Follow label directions and local agricultural advice; do not invent or transfer a schedule from another crop.
• Resistance management: Avoid repeated exclusive use of FRAC Group 3 and rotate only within an approved programme.
• Compatibility: Do not assume tank-mix compatibility. Mix only when the current label or qualified local advice explicitly permits it.
• Safety: Wear label-required PPE, avoid spray drift and keep people and animals away from the treated area as directed.
• Storage: Keep in the original sealed container in a cool, dry, ventilated place away from food, feed, children and animals.
