Aaroosh Fungicide (Propineb 70% WP) - Disease Protection & Zinc Nutrition
The dual-action contact fungicide that fights disease and boosts crop health with bioavailable Zinc.
Aaroosh (Propineb 70% WP) is a superior contact fungicide that offers broad-spectrum protection against fungal diseases while acting as a rich source of Zinc for your crops. Unlike standard fungicides, its unique polymeric formulation ensures better stickiness (rainfastness) on leaves. It not only controls dangerous diseases like Scab, Blight, and Mildew but also provides a visible "greening effect", improving photosynthesis and fruit finish—making it perfect for high-value crops like Apple, Pomegranate, and Potato.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Dual Action Formula: Acts as both a powerful fungicide and a Zinc fertilizer (contains ~20% Metallic Zinc) to correct deficiencies.
- ?️Broad Spectrum Control: Effectively manages Scab in Apples, Early & Late Blight in Potatoes, and Dieback in Chillies.
- ⏳Best for Resistance Management: With a Multi-Site Mode of Action, it prevents fungus from developing resistance, making it an ideal tank-mix partner.
- ?️Superior Rainfastness: The complex polymeric chemistry sticks to leaves better than ordinary salts, enduring rain once dry.
- ?Visible Greening Effect: Boosts plant hormones (Auxins) and chlorophyll, leading to greener, healthier leaves and better quality produce.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Aaroosh is a contact fungicide that stays on the leaf surface. It works by attacking the fungus at multiple points simultaneously, ensuring it cannot survive or adapt.
- Stops Energy Production: Interferes with fungal respiration (breathing), effectively starving the pathogen of energy.
- Blocks Building Blocks: Disrupts the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates needed for fungal growth.
- Inhibits Germination: Prevents fungal spores from germinating on the leaf surface, stopping infection before it enters the plant.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Apple | Apple Scab (Venturia inaequalis) |
| Potato & Tomato | Late Blight, Early Blight, Buck Eye Rot |
| Rice (Paddy) | Brown Leaf Spot, Sheath Blight |
| Pomegranate | Leaf Spot, Fruit Spot |
| Chilli | Dieback, Anthracnose (Fruit Rot) |
| Grapes | Downy Mildew |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple | 600 g | 200 L | 3 g | 30 |
| Potato / Tomato | 600 g | 200 L | 3 g | 15 (Potato) / 10 (Tomato) |
| Rice | 600 - 800 g | 200 L | 3 - 4 g | 27 |
| Chilli | 1000 g | 200 L | 5 g | 10 |
| Pomegranate | 600 g | 200 L | 3 g | 10 |
| Grapes | 600 g | 200 L | 3 g | 40 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Use Preventatively! Apply before disease symptoms appear or immediately upon seeing weather conditions that favor disease (cloudy, humid).
- Mixing (Creaming): Mix the powder with a small amount of water first to make a smooth paste ("cream"), then add this to the main tank. This prevents lumps.
- Coverage: Ensure full coverage of the plant foliage. Since it is a contact fungicide, it only protects where it lands.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (N95 mask, gloves). Do not inhale the dust during mixing. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Aaroosh cure disease after it has started?
No. Aaroosh is primarily a preventative (protective) fungicide. It should be applied before infection spreads. If disease is already severe, use a curative systemic fungicide first, then follow up with Aaroosh.
2. Can I mix Aaroosh with insecticides?
Yes, it is compatible with common insecticides like Imidacloprid and Acetamiprid. However, do not mix it with alkaline substances like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulfur.
3. Why does my crop look greener after spraying?
Aaroosh contains Zinc ($Zn^{2+}$) which is released slowly. This zinc boosts the production of growth hormones (Auxins) and chlorophyll, resulting in a lush green canopy.
4. Is it better than Mancozeb?
Aaroosh offers better rainfastness (sticks better) and provides Zinc nutrition without Manganese. It is generally safer for fruit finish on sensitive crops like Apple and Pomegranate.
5. What is the waiting period for harvesting?
It depends on the crop. For Apples, wait 30 days. For Pomegranates and Chillies, wait 10 days. For Export Grapes, a strict 40-day waiting period is required.
