HPM Bhoomiputra Fungicide (Azoxystrobin 18.2% + Difenoconazole 11.4% SC)
The "Son of the Soil" – A Dual-Action Protector for Complete Disease Control.
HPM Bhoomiputra is a premium, broad-spectrum fungicide designed to protect your crops from the inside out. By combining two powerful chemistries, it stops fungal attacks before they start and cures infections that have already begun. Its advanced suspension concentrate (SC) formula ensures better coverage and safety compared to older powders.
Best For: Managing tough diseases like Blight, Rust, and Anthracnose in Paddy, Wheat, Vegetables, and Cash Crops.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Absorption: Rainfast within 2 hours. It sticks to the leaf quickly, so your investment isn't washed away by sudden showers.
- ?️Dual-Action Defense: Acts as both a shield (Preventive) and a cure (Curative/Eradicant), attacking the fungus at two different stages.
- ⏳The Greening Effect: Keeps leaves green and healthy for longer by delaying aging, which boosts photosynthesis and final yield.
- ?️Superior Formulation: The SC (Suspension Concentrate) liquid formula spreads evenly and is safer to handle than dusty powders.
- ?Systemic Movement: Moves upwards within the plant tissue to protect new growth that wasn't directly sprayed.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Bhoomiputra uses a "One-Two Punch" strategy to defeat fungi:
- Energy Blockade (Azoxystrobin): It stops the fungus from breathing by blocking mitochondrial respiration. Without energy (ATP), the fungus cannot grow or infect the plant.
- Structural Collapse (Difenoconazole): It stops the production of ergosterol, a key building block of the fungal cell wall. This causes the cell membrane to leak and collapse.
- Lifecycle Interruption: It prevents spores from germinating (preventive) and kills the fungal mycelium (roots) already inside the leaf (curative).
Note: This combination significantly reduces the risk of the fungus developing resistance compared to using single-chemical sprays.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Blast, Sheath Blight |
| Tomato & Chilli | Early Blight, Late Blight, Anthracnose (Fruit Rot) |
| Wheat | Yellow Rust, Brown Rust, Leaf Blotch |
| Cotton & Maize | Grey Mildew, Leaf Blights |
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 | Refer to Label |
| Vegetables (Tomato/Chilli) | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 5-7 Days |
| Wheat/Cereals | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | Refer to Label |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting. *Note: While the technical dossier suggests a minimum of 80-100ml/acre, standard field practice and retail packs often align with 1ml/L (200ml/acre) for high-density crops. Always verify the attached leaflet.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventively (before disease appears) or at the very first sign of spots/lesions for the best results.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with highly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture. It is generally compatible with common insecticides like Imidacloprid.
- Coverage: Use a hollow cone nozzle for a fine mist. Ensure the spray covers both the upper and lower surfaces of leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Toxic to aquatic life—do not spray near ponds.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is this the same as HPM Gold?
No. HPM Gold is a Bio-fertilizer (Mycorrhiza) for roots. Bhoomiputra is a Fungicide for disease control. They serve completely different purposes.
2. Can I use Bhoomiputra on Apple trees?
No. Apple trees (especially varieties like McIntosh) are highly sensitive to Azoxystrobin and may suffer leaf burn (phytotoxicity). Avoid drift onto apple orchards.
3. What if it rains after spraying?
Bhoomiputra is rainfast within 2 hours. If it rains 2 hours after you finish spraying, you generally do not need to re-spray.
4. How is it better than simple Mancozeb?
Mancozeb is a contact fungicide (protects only surface). Bhoomiputra is systemic (enters the plant) and curative, meaning it can fix infections that are already inside the leaf.
5. Can I use it for Soil Drenching?
While primarily a foliar spray, drenching is possible for soil-borne pathogens, but be careful if you have recently applied bio-fertilizers (like VAM), as the fungicide might reduce their effect.
