Gharda Yamakazi Fungicide – Pyraclostrobin 10% + Thifluzamide 10% SC

Gharda Yamakazi Fungicide for Sheath Blight and Leaf Blast in Rice

Gharda Yamakazi Fungicide is a dual-action rice fungicide containing Pyraclostrobin 10% and Thifluzamide 10% w/v in an SC formulation. It is recommended for managing sheath blight and leaf blast in rice.

Yamakazi combines two fungicidal groups with complementary modes of action. It provides systemic and translaminar movement along with preventive and curative disease-management activity. Applying it at the early stage of disease development and achieving uniform coverage of rice leaves and sheaths can support better results.

Mode of Action

Pyraclostrobin is a QoI fungicide that acts at the mitochondrial respiration process of susceptible fungi. It inhibits electron transport at the Qo site of Complex III, interfering with energy production and helping prevent spore germination and fungal development.

Thifluzamide is an SDHI fungicide that inhibits succinate dehydrogenase in fungal mitochondrial respiration. This restricts energy production and disrupts the growth and development of susceptible fungal pathogens.

The combination provides complementary preventive and curative activity along with systemic and translaminar movement in treated rice foliage.
