Sumitomo Ormie is a combination fungicide containing Validamycin 5% and Tebuconazole 15% SC. It provides contact and systemic activity for the management of sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani in paddy.
The formulation acts at two important sites in the fungal-development process. It acts on fungal hyphae to help restrict penetration and also interferes with the ergosterol-synthesis pathway, affecting fungal cell-membrane formation and growth.
Ormie is recommended at 400 ml per acre in approximately 200 litres of water for paddy sheath blight. Apply only according to the current product label and accompanying leaflet.

Ormie combines two fungicidal components with complementary activity. Validamycin acts mainly on the growth and development of fungal hyphae associated with sheath blight. This helps restrict fungal penetration and subsequent spread through infected plant tissue.
Tebuconazole interferes with ergosterol synthesis. Ergosterol is important for the formation and function of fungal cell membranes. Disruption of this pathway inhibits the normal growth and development of the target fungus.
The combination provides contact and systemic action, helping protect treated plant surfaces while supporting disease management within the crop.

Label restriction: Do not advertise or apply Ormie for diseases or crops that are not stated on the current registered product label.

Coverage note: These area calculations are based strictly on the stated dose of 400 ml per acre. Actual spray preparation must follow the current label and accurately measured field area.
Sheath blight commonly develops as lesions on leaf sheaths near the waterline or lower crop canopy. Lesions may enlarge and spread upwards under favourable conditions, particularly in dense, humid crops.
Symptoms should be correctly identified before application because nutrient disorders, insect damage and other diseases may require different management. Consult an agricultural specialist if the diagnosis is uncertain.
Apply Ormie when sheath-blight symptoms first appear or at the crop and disease stage specified on the current label. Early, uniform application generally offers better disease-management potential than treatment after severe infection has spread throughout the canopy.
Do not apply solely according to a calendar schedule. Inspect the crop regularly and consider disease symptoms, weather, crop density and local agricultural recommendations.
Ormie should be used as one component of an integrated disease-management programme. Fungicide application alone may not provide satisfactory results where dense crop growth, excess nitrogen, continuous standing water and favourable weather strongly support disease development.
Repeated use of fungicides with the same biochemical action can increase resistance-selection pressure. Use Ormie according to the label and rotate with effective registered fungicides having a different mode of action where permitted.
Mix Ormie with another pesticide or fertilizer only when all product labels permit the combination. Conduct a small jar test before preparing an unfamiliar tank mixture and consult an agricultural specialist if compatibility is uncertain.
Ormie contains Validamycin 5% + Tebuconazole 15% SC.
It provides dual contact and systemic fungicidal action.
It is officially recommended for sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani in paddy.
Apply 400 ml per acre in approximately 200 litres of water, subject to the current product-label instructions.
At 400 ml per acre, one litre is mathematically sufficient for approximately 2.5 acres.
Ensure uniform coverage, particularly around the leaf sheaths and lower crop canopy where sheath-blight infection commonly develops.
The supplied official recommendation identifies paddy sheath blight. Do not advertise or apply it for another disease unless that use appears on the current registered label.
Effective disease management can help protect crop performance, but yield also depends on variety, weather, nutrition, irrigation, disease severity and overall crop management. A specific yield increase cannot be guaranteed.
Prepare a mixture only when every product label permits it. Conduct a jar test and obtain expert advice before combining unfamiliar products.
