Nozawa Fungicide (Thifluzamide 24% SC) by IFFCO-MC
The Ultimate Systemic Specialist for Sheath Blight in Rice and Black Scurf in Potato.
Nozawa (Thifluzamide 24% SC) is a premium systemic fungicide brought to you by the expert collaboration of IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corporation. It is designed to fight stubborn soil-borne fungal diseases like Rhizoctonia solani. Unlike older sprays that wash away, Nozawa penetrates the plant to provide long-lasting preventive and curative protection.
Best For: Farmers seeking a "One Shot" solution for Sheath Blight in Paddy with added "Greenness" (Phytotonic) benefits.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Systemic Action: Absorbs quickly into the plant and moves upward (Acropetal), protecting new leaves that grow after spraying.
- ?️Curative & Preventive: Stops existing infections and prevents new fungal spores from germinating.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Protection: Provides residual control for up to 30 days, reducing the need for multiple sprays compared to older chemicals.
- ?️Rainfast in 2 Hours: The advanced SC formulation sticks to the leaf wax and becomes rainproof within 1-2 hours.
- ?Phytotonic "Greening" Effect: Keeps leaves green longer (delayed senescence), improving photosynthesis and resulting in shiny, high-quality grain.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Nozawa works by targeting the energy powerhouse of the fungus (the mitochondria).
- Energy Blockade: It inhibits the Succinate Dehydrogenase (SDH) enzyme. This stops the fungus from breathing and producing energy (ATP).
- Deep Penetration: Being systemic, it enters the plant system and travels upwards, ensuring the entire plant is defended from the inside out.
- Translaminar Movement: The chemical moves through the leaf surface to the underside, killing hidden fungi that contact sprays miss.
This mechanism effectively stops spore germination and the growth of fungal tubes.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani) |
| Potato | Black Scurf (Seed Tuber Treatment) |
| Tomato | Early Blight (Alternaria solani) |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice (Paddy) | 150 ml | 200 Litres | 0.75 ml | 28 - 30 |
| Potato (Seed) | 2.5 - 3.0 ml per 10kg Seed | Make a Slurry | - | - |
| Tomato | 200 ml | 200 Litres | 1.0 ml | 7 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Rice, apply at the maximum tillering stage or as soon as the first symptoms of Sheath Blight appear. For Potato, treat the seeds before sowing.
- Mixing: Nozawa is compatible with insecticides like Cartap Hydrochloride and Chlorantraniliprole (Coragen). Follow the "WALES" mixing order (add Liquids/SC before ECs).
- Coverage: Use at least 200 Litres of water per acre for paddy to ensure the spray reaches the base of the plant (waterline) where the fungus hides.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Nozawa safe for fish in paddy fields?
No. Thifluzamide is toxic to aquatic life. Do not use it in fields used for aquaculture (fish farming) or let the water drain into ponds.
2. How many times should I spray Nozawa?
Usually, a single spray is enough due to its 30-day residual action. Do not spray more than twice a season to prevent resistance.
3. Can I mix Nozawa with Cartap for stem borer?
Yes, Nozawa is physically and biologically compatible with Cartap Hydrochloride and Coragen for simultaneous pest and disease control.
4. Does Nozawa help increase yield?
Yes. Apart from disease control, it has a "Phytotonic" effect that keeps the flag leaf green for longer, helping fill grains better and increasing shiny yields.
5. What is the benefit of the SC formulation?
The SC (Suspension Concentrate) is water-based, making it safer for the user (no smell/burning) and safer for the crop (no scorching) compared to solvent-based sprays.
