Key Features

• Mode of Action: It is absorbed by the leaves and roots and moves throughout the plant. It works by inhibiting fungal cell division (mitosis), which stops the fungus from growing and spreading.

• Dual Action: It provides both protective (prevents infection) and curative (treats existing infection) properties.

• Phytotonic Effect: It is known to provide a "greening effect" on crops, improving overall plant health and appearance.
