DAIKO Fungicide – Dual Protection for Stronger, Healthier Crops

DAIKO is a combination fungicide formulated with Kresoxim-Methyl 15% and Chlorothalonil 56% WG. It is designed to manage a wide range of fungal diseases that affect vegetable crops, particularly during conditions favorable for disease development.

The formulation combines systemic movement with surface protection, allowing it to work both within the plant and on the leaf surface. When applied before disease establishment or at early stages, DAIKO helps protect foliage, supports healthier leaf colour, and maintains crop vitality through the growing season.

How DAIKO Fungicide Works

Kresoxim-Methyl belongs to the strobilurin group and works by blocking energy transfer inside fungal cells. It disrupts mitochondrial respiration, preventing ATP formation that fungi need to survive. Chlorothalonil complements this action by providing multi-site contact protection, helping reduce the chance of new spore germination.

Key Benefits

• Controls multiple fungal diseases with a single formulation
• Combines systemic and contact action for broader protection
• Translaminar movement helps protect the underside of leaves
• Helps prevent fresh spore germination and disease spread
• Supports dark green foliage and overall crop health
