Avvie Fungicide (Hexaconazole 4% + Zineb 68% WP)
The Ultimate Dual-Action Solution for Sheath Blight, Blast, and Scab.
Avvie by HPM is a premium "branded generic" fungicide designed to protect your crops from the inside out. By combining the systemic power of Hexaconazole with the protective shield of Zineb, Avvie offers a complete defense strategy. It cures existing fungal infections while preventing new spores from germinating, ensuring your Paddy, Tea, and Apple crops stay healthy and profitable.

Why Choose Avvie? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Kick-Back Curative Action:
The Hexaconazole component moves systemically through the plant (acropetal action), hunting down and stopping fungal infections that have already penetrated the leaf tissue. - ?️Double-Layer Protection:
While Hexaconazole works inside, Zineb forms a protective contact layer on the surface, killing fungal spores before they can germinate. - ⏳Resistance Fighter:
Avvie combines a "single-site" inhibitor with a "multi-site" inhibitor. This synergy makes it nearly impossible for fungi to develop resistance, ensuring the product works year after year. - ?️Cost-Effective Application:
Because it controls a broad spectrum of diseases (Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and lower fungi) in one shot, you save money on mixing multiple products. - ?Greening Effect (Zinc):
Contains Zinc (from Zineb) which boosts chlorophyll production. This results in visibly greener leaves and better photosynthesis, crucial for zinc-deficient soils.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Avvie operates using a unique synergistic mechanism that targets the fungus at two different biological points:
[Image of fungal cell membrane disruption diagram]- Membrane Destruction (Systemic): The Hexaconazole component inhibits the C14-demethylase enzyme. This stops the fungus from producing ergosterol, a key building block of its cell membrane. Without it, the membrane collapses, and the fungus dies.
- Respiratory Failure (Contact): The Zineb component acts as a multi-site inhibitor. It disrupts the fungal cell's respiration (breathing) and energy production processes (Krebs cycle) upon contact.
- Total Control: This combination ensures that even if the fungus tries to mutate against one attack, the second mechanism will eliminate it.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) / Disease |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani), Blast (Neck & Leaf) |
| Tea | Blister Blight (Exobasidium vexans), Black Rot, Grey Blight |
| Apple | Apple Scab (Venturia inaequalis), Alternaria Leaf Spot |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 400 - 500 g | 100 L | 4 - 5 g/L | 34 Days |
| Tea | 250 g | 100 - 200 L | 1.25 - 2.5 g/L | 7 Days |
| Apple | As per tree size | 10 L per tree | 2.5 g/L (0.25%) | 30 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. Note: Paddy PHI is longer due to grain consumption safety.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Paddy, apply at the first sign of Sheath Blight lesions near the waterline. For Apple Scab, use as a preventative cover spray or early curative.
- Mixing: This is a Wettable Powder (WP). Pre-mix the required quantity in a small amount of water to make a slurry before adding it to the main tank. Agitate well.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the foliage. For Tea, high-volume spraying is recommended to penetrate the bush canopy.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Do not harvest Tea leaves for at least 7 days after spraying.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Avvie help with plant growth?
Yes. The Zineb component contains Zinc, an essential micronutrient. This helps in the synthesis of tryptophan (growth hormone precursor) and chlorophyll, leading to a visible "greening" effect on the crop.
2. Can I use Avvie for curative action?
Absolutely. The Hexaconazole component is systemic, meaning it enters the plant tissue and kills the fungus that has already established an infection (kick-back action).
3. Why is the waiting period for Rice so long (34 days)?
Regulatory bodies like the CIBRC mandate a 34-day PHI for rice to ensure that residues of the dithiocarbamate (Zineb) degrade completely before the grain is harvested for human consumption.
4. Is this product effective against Apple Scab?
Yes, it is highly effective. It is used as a cover spray where Zineb protects the fruit surface and Hexaconazole handles leaf infections.
5. What is the difference between Avvie and plain Hexaconazole?
Plain Hexaconazole is a single-site inhibitor prone to resistance. Avvie adds Zineb (a multi-site inhibitor), which broadens the disease spectrum and prevents the fungus from developing resistance.
