Product Name

2. Product Details

About Swadheen

Swadheen is a combination fungicide comprising of Tebuconazole (10%) and Sulphur (65%) WDG. It is a systemic agent with the added benefit of the protective and contact effects of Sulphur to control a broad spectrum of fungal diseases. Tebuconazole enters the plant and disrupts sterol biosynthesis, which is a critical stage for the growth and development of fungi. Sulphur also has contact activity against fungal pathogens and tends to inhibit the germination of spores and growth of fungal disease on plant surfaces. This mixture is especially effective in controlling powdery mildew, rust and other leaf diseases in registered crops. WDG formulation easily disperses in water to create a uniform spray suspension and make the spraying process easy.
