Effective Use of Azoxystrobin 23% SC to Protect Mango Crops from Anthracnose and Powdery Mildew
Crop Protection Advisory for Mango Farmers in India
18 May 2025, New Delhi: Mango cultivation in India is highly susceptible to fungal diseases such as anthracnose and powdery mildew, which can severely affect yield and fruit quality. Among the many fungicides approved by the Central Insecticide Board (CIB) under the Ministry of Agriculture, Azoxystrobin 23% SC has shown to be highly effective in controlling these diseases.
Azoxystrobin is a systemic fungicide with a broad-spectrum activity, particularly effective against both anthracnose and powdery mildew, two of the most common threats to mango crops. The active ingredient concentration recommended is 0.025%, and the ideal formulation is 0.1%. Farmers are advised to use 100 ml of the fungicide per 100 liters of water, adjusting based on the size of the mango tree. The waiting period after application before harvesting the mangoes is 5 days, ensuring safety for consumers while maintaining fruit quality.
The fungicide penetrates the leaf surface and translocates within the plant, offering preventive and curative action. Its effectiveness and safety have been verified and endorsed by the Central Insecticide Board, making it a reliable solution for mango growers across India who are facing regular fungal challenges.
