Sumitomo Tebazo Fungicide – Azoxystrobin 12.5% + Tebuconazole 12.5% SC

Sumitomo Tebazo Broad-Spectrum Fungicide for Chilli

Sumitomo Tebazo is a broad-spectrum combination fungicide containing Azoxystrobin 12.5% and Tebuconazole 12.5% in a suspension-concentrate formulation. It is recommended for managing powdery mildew and fruit rot in chilli.

Tebazo combines two active ingredients with different modes of action. Azoxystrobin interferes with energy production in fungal cells, while Tebuconazole disrupts ergosterol biosynthesis required for proper fungal cell-membrane development.

The combination offers preventive and curative disease-management activity with systemic, translaminar and acropetal movement. Timely application helps protect foliage and developing chilli fruits from susceptible fungal diseases.

Sumitomo Tebazo Product Specifications

Active Ingredients

Mode of Action

Azoxystrobin: Azoxystrobin inhibits electron transfer at the Qo site of mitochondrial complex III. This interrupts fungal respiration and reduces the energy available for spore germination and fungal growth.

Tebuconazole: Tebuconazole inhibits the C14-demethylation step in ergosterol biosynthesis. Ergosterol is required for normal fungal cell-membrane formation, and disrupting its production restricts fungal growth.

These complementary modes of action allow Tebazo to act at multiple stages of fungal development. The product should still be rotated according to resistance-management guidance rather than used repeatedly throughout the season.

Key Features and Benefits

• Dual-Active Formulation: Combines Azoxystrobin and Tebuconazole in one product.
• Broad-Spectrum Activity: Provides activity against susceptible fungal pathogens.
• Preventive Action: Helps protect healthy plant surfaces when applied before severe disease development.
• Curative Support: Helps manage early established infections within the approved application window.
• Systemic Movement: Moves within treated plant tissues for internal disease protection.
• Translaminar Activity: Moves across treated leaves for more complete leaf protection.
• Acropetal Movement: Moves upwards within the plant towards new growth.
• Chilli-Disease Management: Recommended for powdery mildew and fruit rot in chilli.
• Crop-Quality Support: Reducing disease pressure helps protect fruit appearance and marketable quality.

Recommended Crop, Diseases and Dosage

Water-volume note: The required spray-water volume has not been specified in the supplied information. Follow the current Tebazo label and use sufficient water to obtain uniform crop coverage without excessive runoff.

Target Disease Information

How to Apply Sumitomo Tebazo

1. Inspect the chilli crop regularly and correctly identify the fungal disease.
2. Begin application preventively or at the early appearance of disease, as directed on the label.
3. Measure 320–400 ml of Tebazo for one acre or use the exact crop-specific label dose.
4. Half-fill the spray tank with clean water.
5. Shake the product container thoroughly before measuring.
6. Add the required quantity of Tebazo while continuously agitating the water.
7. Add the remaining water and maintain agitation.
8. Spray uniformly over foliage and developing fruits without excessive runoff.
9. Use the prepared spray solution promptly and clean the equipment after application.

Application Guidance

Resistance-Management Guidance

• Use Tebazo only for the crop and diseases approved on its current label.
• Apply preventively or during the early stage of infection.
• Do not exceed the label-approved number of applications.
• Avoid repeated consecutive applications of fungicides with the same modes of action.
• Rotate with effective fungicides from different resistance groups.
• Use the full recommended dose and ensure uniform spray coverage.
• Combine fungicide use with sanitation, crop monitoring and other integrated disease-management practices.

Chilli Disease-Management Tips

• Use healthy seedlings and properly drained nursery media.
• Maintain suitable plant spacing for canopy aeration.
• Avoid unnecessary overhead irrigation and prolonged leaf wetness.
• Remove severely infected fruits and crop residues where practical.
• Control weeds that may harbour pathogens or restrict air movement.
• Use balanced fertilization and avoid excessive nitrogen application.
• Monitor the crop more frequently during humid or disease-favourable weather.
• Apply fungicides according to disease risk and label directions.

Tank-Mix and Compatibility Guidance

Mix Tebazo with another pesticide or fertilizer only when the labels of all products permit the combination. Conduct a small jar test before preparing an unfamiliar mixture and maintain continuous agitation during application.

Do not combine products merely to reduce the number of sprays. Unnecessary mixtures may cause incompatibility, poor disease control or crop injury.

Safety Precautions

• Read the complete product label and accompanying leaflet before use.
• Wear gloves, protective clothing, closed footwear, eye protection and a suitable mask.
• Avoid inhalation of spray mist and contact with the skin or eyes.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke while mixing or spraying.
• Wash hands, exposed skin and contaminated clothing thoroughly after use.
• Keep children, animals and unprotected persons away during application.
• Do not contaminate ponds, streams, wells or drinking-water sources.
• Follow the label-specified re-entry period and pre-harvest interval.

Storage and Disposal

• Store Tebazo in its original, tightly closed and properly labelled container.
• Keep in a cool, dry, locked and well-ventilated location.
• Protect the container from direct sunlight, excessive heat and freezing.
• Keep away from food, beverages, animal feed and medicines.
• Keep securely out of reach of children and animals.
• Do not reuse the empty container.
• Dispose of the container according to the label and local regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the technical composition of Sumitomo Tebazo?

Tebazo contains Azoxystrobin 12.5% and Tebuconazole 12.5% in a suspension-concentrate formulation.

Which crop is Tebazo recommended for?

The supplied recommendation confirms its use in chilli.

Which diseases does it manage in chilli?

Tebazo is recommended for managing powdery mildew and fruit rot in chilli.

What is the dosage per acre?

The recommended dose for chilli is 320–400 ml per acre. Follow the current label for water volume, timing and application interval.

Is Tebazo systemic or contact?

Tebazo is described as a systemic and translaminar fungicide with acropetal movement.

Does Tebazo provide preventive and curative action?

Yes. It provides preventive protection and curative support during the early stages of susceptible fungal infections. It cannot restore tissue already severely damaged by disease.

Can Tebazo be used on crops other than chilli?

Apply it to another crop only if that crop and disease are specifically approved on the current product label.

Can it be applied after severe disease development?

Fungicides generally perform best preventively or during early infection. Severely damaged crop tissue cannot be restored, so timely application is important.

Does Tebazo guarantee a higher yield?

It helps protect crop health and yield potential by reducing susceptible disease pressure. Actual yield depends on variety, weather, nutrition, irrigation and overall crop management.

Can Tebazo be mixed with insecticides or fertilizers?

Prepare a mixture only when the labels of all products permit it. Conduct a compatibility test and obtain expert advice before combining unfamiliar products.
