Force11 Fungicide (Tricyclazole 75% WP): The Expert Solution for Rice Blast
Protect your paddy yield with the trusted "Tractor Brand" systemic defense against Leaf, Node, and Neck Blast.
Force11 (Tricyclazole 75% WP) is a premier systemic fungicide manufactured by Insecticides (India) Limited (IIL). Designed specifically for paddy farmers, it acts as a powerful "anti-penetrant" shield. It prevents the Rice Blast fungus from entering the plant leaf, ensuring your crop stays green, healthy, and high-yielding.

- ?️Systemic Shield: Moves upwards (acropetally) in the plant to protect new leaf tips where dew collects and disease often starts.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Protection: Provides a durable "prophylactic" barrier that stays active inside the plant tissue for weeks.
- ?️Cost-Effective: Highly concentrated formula (WP) requires a low dose (120g/acre), offering premium protection at an affordable price (~₹200/acre).

How It Works: Mode of Action
Force11 works differently from common killers. It acts as a specialized Melanin Biosynthesis Inhibitor (MBI).
- Blocks Melanin: It stops the fungus from producing melanin (a dark pigment) in its attack cell (appressorium).
- Prevents Pressure: Without melanin, the fungus cannot build the "hydraulic pressure" needed to punch through the rice leaf.
- Stops Penetration: The fungal spore germinates but fails to enter the plant, rendering it harmless. It is a "protectant" that locks the door before the thief enters.
Note: Because it prevents entry, it is most effective when applied proactively or at the very first sign of disease.

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 (Field) | 120 - 160 g | 200 L | 0.6 - 0.8 g | 30 |
| Paddy (Seed) | - | Slurry Mix | 3.0 - 4.0 g / kg seed | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Neck Blast): The most critical sprays are at the Late Booting Stage (just before panicle emergence) and the Heading Stage. Once the neck turns black, it cannot be cured.
- Mixing: Force11 is a Wettable Powder (WP). Pre-mix the required quantity in a bucket of water before adding it to the main tank to ensure a smooth suspension.
- Coverage: Use adequate water volume (approx. 200 Liters/acre) to ensure the systemic medicine reaches all plant parts.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I use Force11 on Basmati Rice for export?
No. Due to strict Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in the European Union (0.01 ppm) and USA, Force11 is not recommended for Basmati rice intended for export markets. It is safe for domestic consumption.
2. Does Force11 cure Sheath Blight?
No, Force11 is specific to Rice Blast. For broad-spectrum control (Blast + Sheath Blight), you can mix Force11 with Hexaconazole or Propiconazole.
3. Is it rainfast?
Yes, Force11 is absorbed by the plant within 1-2 hours. Rain occurring after this period will not wash away the protection.
4. Can I use it if the disease is already severe?
Force11 is primarily a protectant. While it helps in the early stages, it is most effective when sprayed before the disease spreads aggressively. For severe infections, rotate with different chemistries.
5. What is the pack size and price?
It is available in 120g, 250g, 500g, and 1kg packs. The cost is approximately ₹200 per acre, making it highly economical.
