How It Works: Mode of Action
Albright uses a "Toxicity Triangle" approach to attack fungi from two angles simultaneously:
- Stops Energy (Azoxystrobin): It blocks the mitochondria (powerhouse) of the fungus. Without energy, fungal spores cannot germinate or move.
- Breaks Cell Walls (Difenoconazole): It inhibits Ergosterol biosynthesis. This destroys the fungal cell membrane, killing the fungus that has already entered the plant.
- Complete Coverage: Azoxystrobin moves across the leaf surface (Translaminar), while Difenoconazole moves internally through the xylem (Systemic), ensuring no spot is left unprotected.
This dual mechanism makes it very difficult for diseases to develop resistance against Albright.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Sheath Blight, Blast |
| Tomato | Early Blight, Late Blight |
| Chilli | Anthracnose (Fruit Rot), Powdery Mildew, Die-back |
| Maize & Wheat | Blights, Rusts, 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 (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 31 Days |
| Tomato / Chilli | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 5 Days |
| Wheat / Maize | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 26-35 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Paddy, apply at the Booting to Heading stage for best Sheath Blight control. For vegetables, apply at the first sign of disease.
- Mixing: This is a Suspension Concentrate (SC). Shake the bottle well before measuring. Mix in a separate bucket before adding to the spray tank.
- Coverage: Ensure the spray reaches the lower sheaths of the plant where fungal rot starts.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not spray near fish ponds as it is toxic to aquatic life.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Albright systemic or contact?
It is both. It has systemic properties (moves inside the plant via Xylem) and translaminar properties (moves across the leaf), offering total protection.
2. Can I harvest my tomatoes immediately after spraying?
No. You must wait for at least 5 days (Pre-Harvest Interval) after spraying Albright on Tomatoes or Chillies before harvesting to ensure safety.
3. Does Albright help improve crop quality?
Yes. The Azoxystrobin component provides a "Greening Effect" that improves leaf color, photosynthesis, and the cosmetic shine of produce like Chillies.
4. Can I mix Albright with other pesticides?
It is generally compatible with most insecticides (like Thiamethoxam). However, avoid mixing with highly alkaline or acidic solutions. Always perform a jar test first.
5. What is the shelf life of the product?
Albright has a shelf life of 2 years from the date of manufacturing if stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
