SIVIC is a powerful systemic fungicide formulated with Tricyclazole 75% W.P., developed by NACL Industries Ltd. It is specifically designed to control blast disease in paddy and other crops caused by Pyricularia oryzae. The active ingredient, Tricyclazole, effectively inhibits melanin biosynthesis in fungal pathogens, preventing spore germination and fungal penetration into plant tissues.

SIVIC provides preventive and curative action, ensuring long-lasting protection of the crop during critical growth stages. It quickly penetrates plant tissues and safeguards new growth, offering reliable and superior disease management in paddy cultivation.
