How It Works: Mode of Action
- Contact Barrier: Splash coats the plant surface, acting as a prophylactic shield that fungus cannot penetrate.
- Energy Blockade: The active ingredient targets multiple sites within the fungal cell, shutting down energy production (ATP) and enzyme activity.
- Spore Killer: It inhibits spore germination. When a fungal spore lands on a treated leaf, it dies instantly before it can infect the plant.
Note: Splash is a protectant. It must be applied before the disease enters the plant tissue for maximum results.
Target Crops & Pests

Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Groundnut | 350 - 460 g | 200 - 300 L | 2 g | 14 Days |
| Potato | 350 - 500 g | 200 - 300 L | 2 g | 14 Days |
| Grapes | 400 - 800 g | 200 - 400 L | 2 g | 60 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Spray prophylactically (before disease appears) or at the very first sign of symptoms. Repeat every 10-14 days.
- Mixing: Use the "Slurry Method." Mix the required powder with a small amount of water to make a smooth paste, then add this to your spray tank. Maintain agitation.
- Coverage: Use hollow cone nozzles for a fine mist. Ensure the spray covers both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaves for complete protection.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Splash and Syngenta
Kavach?
Both contain Chlorothalonil
75% WP. Kavach is the premium brand with "Stick and
Spread" technology for superior adhesion. Splash is the
cost-effective, reliable alternative for broad-spectrum use.
2. Does Splash cure disease that is already inside the
plant?
No. Splash is a contact
fungicide (protectant). It kills spores on the surface to
prevent new infections. It does not cure established
infections inside the leaf.
3. Can I mix Splash with other pesticides?
Yes, Splash is compatible with most insecticides like
Thiamethoxam and fungicides like Metalaxyl. Do
NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture.
4. Is Splash safe for bees?
It is practically non-toxic to bees, making it safer than
many insecticides. However, avoid spraying directly during
active foraging hours.
5. What happens if it rains after spraying?
Splash has excellent rainfastness. Once the spray
deposit has dried completely on the leaf, it resists washing off
by rain or irrigation.
