Thiophanate-Methyl 70% WP Fungicide

Product Overview

Mode of Action & Biological Efficacy

Thiophanate-methyl is metabolized into methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC) inside plants. This metabolite inhibits fungal mitosis by disrupting spindle formation during cell division, preventing the spread of fungal spores and stopping active infections.

Key Benefits:

• Systemic Movement: Translocates via xylem and adjacent tissues to protect new growth.

• Preventive & Curative: Controls surface infections and internal mycelium development.

• Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against ascomycetes, basidiomycetes, and deuteromycetes.

• Resistance Management: Acts on multiple pathways, reducing resistance risk.

Application & Recommended Dosage

Application Timing:

• Begin application at early crop stages or first disease symptoms.

• Repeat every 7–14 days depending on disease pressure.

Best Practices:

• Ensure complete leaf and canopy coverage.

• Avoid spraying under intense sunlight or right before rainfall.

• Follow local PHIs (Pre-Harvest Intervals): typically 7–14 days.

Advantages & Technical Highlights

✅ 1. Broad-Spectrum Control

Controls a wide array of fungal pathogens, including:

• Rice: Sheath blight, rice blast

• Fruits: Scab, ring disease

• Vegetables: Leaf mold, powdery mildew

FAQ: Comprehensive Guide to Thiophanate Methyl

1. What is Thiophanate Methyl?

Thiophanate Methyl is a broad-spectrum systemic fungicide belonging to the benzimidazole group. It is widely used in agriculture and horticulture to control various fungal diseases in crops, turfgrass, and ornamental plants. Upon application, it is absorbed and translocated within the plant, providing both protective and curative actions.

2. What is Thiophanate Methyl Used For?

Thiophanate Methyl is primarily used to treat and prevent fungal diseases such as:

• Powdery mildew

• Gray mold (Botrytis)

• Anthracnose

• Fusarium wilt

• Leaf spot

• Brown patch
  It is effective on crops like vegetables, fruits, cereals, ornamentals, and turfgrass.

3. How Does Thiophanate Methyl Work (Mode of Action)?

Thiophanate Methyl works by inhibiting fungal cell division. Once inside the plant, it is converted into carbendazim, which disrupts mitosis in the fungus by interfering with microtubule formation. This halts fungal growth and reproduction, providing systemic protection throughout the plant.

4. Thiophanate Methyl Uses and Fungicide Applications

Common applications include:

• Field crops: soybeans, wheat, peanuts, and cotton

• Fruits and vegetables: strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, grapes

• Ornamentals and flowers: roses, chrysanthemums, geraniums

• Turf management: golf courses, athletic fields, and lawns
  It can be applied as a foliar spray, seed treatment, or soil drench, depending on the crop and fungal issue.

5. Thiophanate Methyl Fungicide in Combination with Other Fungicides

To prevent resistance and enhance spectrum, Thiophanate Methyl is often mixed with fungicides like:

• Chlorothalonil (contact fungicide)

• Mancozeb

• Copper-based fungicides
  Such combinations improve disease control and provide both systemic and contact protection.

6. Thiophanate Methyl vs. Other Fungicides (Azoxystrobin, Propiconazole, Myclobutanil)

Thiophanate Methyl is best used as part of an integrated fungicide program to prevent resistance and maintain efficacy.

7. Where to Buy Thiophanate Methyl?

Thiophanate Methyl fungicide is available from:

• Agrochemical suppliers and distributors

• Online agricultural retailers (e.g., Amazon, Alibaba, CropLife stores)

• Local farm supply stores
  Always ensure the product is registered and labeled for your region and crop.

8. Thiophanate Methyl 70 WP Price

Prices vary by quantity, brand, and region. On average:

• 1 kg of Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP ranges from $10 to $25
  Bulk orders or generic brands may offer discounts. Check multiple suppliers for competitive pricing.

9. Chlorothalonil and Thiophanate Methyl-Based Fungicides

Combining Chlorothalonil (a contact fungicide) with Thiophanate Methyl offers:

• Dual modes of action (systemic + contact)

• Enhanced disease spectrum

• Resistance management
  These combinations are popular in turf care and crop protection for diseases like leaf spot, dollar spot, and brown patch.

10. Fungicides Containing Thiophanate Methyl and Chlorothalonil

Some common formulations include:

• Spectro 90WDG

• Cleary’s 3336 Plus

• Fungo Flo
  These products are widely used on lawns, golf courses, ornamental plants, and field crops, offering robust and lasting fungal control.
