Riico Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP Fungicide – Powerful Systemic Protection Against Crop Fungal Diseases

Introduction: Advanced Fungicide Solutions for Indian Agriculture

Fungal diseases remain one of the most serious threats to crop productivity in Indian agriculture. Diseases such as powdery mildew in papaya and grapes, fusarium wilt in pigeon pea, and brown rust and leaf blight in wheat can drastically reduce yields, lower produce quality, and impact farmers’ income.

To tackle these challenges effectively, farmers need a reliable, broad-spectrum systemic fungicide that delivers consistent results across multiple crops. Riico Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP, available on AgroOrbit, is a trusted fungicide widely used for its systemic action, long-lasting protection, and broad disease control spectrum.

This AgroOrbit guide provides complete information on Riico Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP, covering its features, benefits, crops and diseases controlled, mode of action, dosage, and safe usage practices.

What is Riico Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP?

Riico Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP is a systemic fungicide from the benzimidazole group, formulated as a 70% Wettable Powder (WP). Once applied, it is absorbed by plant tissues and moves internally to protect plants from fungal infections.

Inside the plant, Thiophanate Methyl is converted into carbendazim, an active compound that inhibits fungal cell division, stopping disease development and further spread. This dual preventive and curative action makes it highly effective against both early and established infections.
