There has been a long debate regarding the use of fungicides on crops to eliminate and prevent them from diseases. It is of great value to understand the need and use of fungicides so that they can be used properly, without causing any potent harm. Fungicides are used for the effective treatment of crop pests, to control their growth, to kill the existing ones, and to prevent the crops from getting destroyed by pests. Thus, proprietary solutions based fungicides have a very important place in Indian agriculture. The application and use of these fungicides must be in great supervision and in adherence to the regulations of agriculture advisory authorities. We at HPM India, bear this in mind while formulating new and better products to boost the agriculture practices in the nation and to help farmers get better yield. Our latest fungicide product composed of Propiconazole 13.9% + Difenoconazole 13.9% which is being sold by the trade name of Robocop, is the most modern invention in this direction.

Here is imperative information about Robocop for farmers to understand and make a sensible use of the product: Robocop is a potent mixture of triazole fungicides, which is specifically designed to kill pests. It comes with a strong recommendation of Sheath blight and dirty panicle disease control especially in paddy (rice crop) If applied right in time, at early (25-30 DAT) vegetative state, it works perfect for protection and results in more productive tillers. Robocop’s potency is the greatest factor that determines the product’s ability to fight pests effectively, which results in better pest management and production of healthy flag leaves in a better yield. More preventative and protective than curative, Robocop needs to be applied immediately symptoms of pests are spotted. Never leave the crops unattended if the signs of pest or disease are suspected. Take quick action and most plants will take advantage of your intervention and restore themselves to full strength. The product is toxic, hence, one must be extremely careful while using Robocop. Proper eye and hand protection gear must be used while sprinkling the chemical. If, by mistake, the skin or eyes come in contact with the product, thoroughly wash with cold water and rush to the doctor immediately.

HPM India is striving hard to bring newer products to its shelf and to keep educating the farmers about correct usage of those products. We strongly recommend Robocop to be used in a water-based spray to protect paddy from being eaten by pests. This systemic fungicide is leached into the essential tissues and sap of the plant being treated, so as to overcome the infection from within the plant itself. Hence, the absolute priority is to comprehensively cover all of the affected plant´s surfaces, not forgetting the undersides of leaves in order to provide full protection. Fungicides work a little differently from insecticides and they really must come into direct contact with the attacking fungi in order to be fully effective.
