Benefits of Shanmukha Avventus

• Broad Disease Spectrum: Helps manage multiple fungal diseases including blights, mildews, rusts, leaf spots and rots.
• Dual Mode of Action: Combines two fungicide groups targeting different fungal processes.
• Preventive Protection: Helps protect healthy plant tissue against fungal infection when applied at the appropriate stage.
• Curative Activity: Difenoconazole contributes activity during the early stages of established fungal infection.
• Systemic Movement: Helps distribute fungicidal activity within treated plant tissues.
• Crop Health Support: Effective disease management helps maintain healthier foliage and productive crop development.

Recommended Crops, Diseases & Dosage

Use the crop-specific rate stated on the current physical Avventus label. Do not assume the same dose for crops or diseases that are not included on the label.

Mode of Action

Azoxystrobin – FRAC Group 11: Azoxystrobin inhibits mitochondrial respiration at the Qo site of the cytochrome bc1 complex. This interrupts energy production required for fungal spore germination and development.

Difenoconazole – FRAC Group 3: Difenoconazole inhibits C14-demethylase in fungal sterol biosynthesis. This interferes with development and functioning of fungal cell membranes.

The combination provides complementary fungicidal activity for both preventive disease protection and early curative management.

Systemic, Translaminar & Acropetal Movement

Shanmukha describes Avventus as having systemic activity with translaminar and acropetal movement. Translaminar movement helps distribute active ingredients through treated leaf tissue, while acropetal movement supports movement towards newer plant growth through the vascular system.

Avventus for Paddy

In paddy, Avventus is recommended against blast and sheath blight. Timely application before severe disease development helps protect productive crop tissues.

Avventus for Chilli

In chilli, Avventus is recommended against anthracnose and powdery mildew. Regular field scouting is important so disease management can begin during the early stages of infection.

Avventus for Tomato

In tomato, Avventus is recommended against early blight and late blight. Uniform coverage of foliage is important, particularly where weather conditions favour disease development.

Avventus for Onion

Shanmukha recommends Avventus in onion against purple blotch, Stemphylium blight and downy mildew.

Avventus for Wheat & Groundnut

In wheat, Avventus is recommended for powdery mildew and rust. In groundnut, the official recommendation includes Tikka leaf spot and rust.

How to Use Shanmukha Avventus

1. Correctly identify the crop and target fungal disease.
2. Measure the recommended quantity according to the crop-specific label rate.
3. Partially fill the spray tank with clean water.
4. Add the measured quantity of Avventus while maintaining agitation.
5. Add the remaining required water and mix thoroughly.
6. Spray uniformly over the crop canopy using properly calibrated spraying equipment.
7. Ensure good coverage of susceptible leaves and plant parts.
8. Repeat only according to the current product label and disease-management recommendation.

Best Time to Apply

Apply Avventus preventively when disease risk is high or during the early stage of fungal infection. Avoid waiting until severe disease damage has already developed.

Regular crop scouting and timely treatment are particularly important during weather conditions favourable for fungal disease development.

Application Tips

• Apply at the early stage of disease development.
• Ensure uniform coverage of crop foliage.
• Use clean water for spray preparation.
• Use properly calibrated spraying equipment.
• Avoid spraying during strong winds or immediately before heavy rainfall.
• Do not unnecessarily exceed the recommended crop-specific dose.
• Follow the current label before tank mixing with other crop-protection products.

Resistance Management

Azoxystrobin belongs to FRAC Group 11 and Difenoconazole belongs to FRAC Group 3. Using two modes of action can support disease-management programmes, but repeated use of the same combination may still select resistant fungal populations.

Where multiple fungicide applications are required, integrate Avventus with appropriate disease-management practices and rotate with registered fungicides containing effective modes of action outside Groups 11 and 3 where suitable.

Safety Precautions

• Read the complete product label and leaflet before use.
• Wear suitable gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, mask and footwear while mixing and spraying.
• Avoid inhalation of spray mist.
• Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling the fungicide.
• Avoid contaminating ponds, streams and drinking-water sources.
• Keep children and animals away from the product and treated crop according to label instructions.
• Wash exposed skin and spraying equipment thoroughly after application.
