Syngenta Glo-It Fungicide (Propiconazole + Difenoconazole 13.9% EC)
The "Green Shield" for Your Crops: Advanced Dual-Action Disease Control
Syngenta Glo-It is a premium systemic fungicide designed to fight the toughest fungal diseases in Rice (Paddy), Wheat, and Horticulture crops. By combining two powerful active ingredients—Propiconazole and Difenoconazole—in a balanced 1:1 ratio, it offers both immediate curative action ("stop" power) and long-lasting preventive protection ("shield" power).
Best For: Farmers dealing with Sheath Blight in Paddy, Dirty Panicle, and Rusts in cereal crops who want to ensure grain quality and higher yields.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Rainfast Action: Absorbs into the plant system within 1 to 2 hours. This makes it highly effective even during the Kharif (monsoon) season when rain is unpredictable.
- ?️Dual-Mode Protection: Propiconazole acts as a curative agent to stop existing infections, while Difenoconazole creates a protective layer to prevent new spores from germinating.
- ⏳Systemic & Translaminar Movement: Moves upwards in the plant (Acropetal) to protect new leaves and moves across the leaf surface (Translaminar) to kill fungus hiding on the undersides.
- ?️Yield Booster: Keeps the "Flag Leaf" green and healthy for longer (Phytotonic effect), which is directly responsible for 50% of grain filling carbohydrates, leading to heavier, shiny grains.
- ?Cost-Effective Insurance: At approximately ₹600 per acre, it protects against yield losses of 20-50% caused by Sheath Blight.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Glo-It works by targeting the fungal cell membrane. It acts as an "Ergosterol Biosynthesis Inhibitor." Without Ergosterol, the fungal cell walls collapse and the fungus dies.
- Stop (Curative): Propiconazole enters the plant system rapidly and moves upwards, halting the growth of established fungal mycelium.
- Shield (Preventive): Difenoconazole stays closer to the surface and moves sideways (translaminar), creating a durable barrier against new spores.
- Growth (Phytotonic): The formula delays leaf aging (senescence), keeping the plant greener for longer to maximize photosynthesis.
Note: Because it attacks a single site in the fungus, it should be rotated with other fungicides to prevent resistance.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani), Dirty Panicle (Grain Discoloration) |
| Wheat | Rusts (Yellow/Brown), Leaf Blight, Powdery Mildew |
| Horticulture (Apple, Grape, etc.) | Scab, Anthracnose, Powdery Mildew, Fruit Rot |
Dosage & Application Guide
The Golden Rule: Always follow the "Dose per Acre" for accurate results. High water volume (150-200 L) is critical for coverage.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | 200 - 250 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1.0 - 1.25 ml | 46 Days* |
| Wheat | 200 - 250 ml | 150 - 200 L | 1.0 - 1.25 ml | 30 - 45 Days |
| Fruits / Vegetables | 120 - 160 ml | 150 - 200 L | 0.8 - 1.0 ml | 7 - 14 Days |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: For export rice, strictly adhere to the 46-day waiting period to avoid residue issues.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing (Paddy): Spray 1: Vegetative stage (25-30 days after transplanting) to protect tillers. Spray 2: Booting/Panicle Initiation stage to prevent Dirty Panicle.
- Mixing: Fill the tank halfway with water, add the dose, and agitate. The liquid will turn milky white (emulsion). Use immediately; do not leave overnight.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the lower parts of the plant (sheath area) where the fungus attacks first.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). This product is toxic to fish—do not use near aquaculture ponds.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the main use of Glo-It?
It is primarily used to control Sheath Blight and grain discoloration in Paddy, ensuring healthy green leaves and shiny grains.
2. Is Glo-It compatible with other chemicals?
Yes, it is compatible with most common insecticides (like Thiamethoxam) and fertilizers (NPK 19:19:19). However, avoid mixing with highly alkaline substances or herbicides like Glyphosate on standing crops.
3. How fast does it work?
It is rainfast within 1-2 hours. The curative action starts immediately upon absorption, stopping fungal growth.
4. Can I use it for export-quality rice?
Yes, but you must observe the 46-day Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI). Do not spray it late in the season (milking/dough stage) if exporting.
5. Does it help yield?
Yes. By keeping the flag leaf disease-free and green, it enhances photosynthesis, leading to better grain filling and higher yield.
