Odin Fungicide (Dimethomorph 50% WP) - Expert Blight & Mildew Control
Stop fungal diseases instantly with the power of Coromandel’s Odin.
Odin is a specialized systemic fungicide designed to fight the toughest Oomycete pathogens. Powered by Dimethomorph 50% WP, it offers a dual-action defense against destructive diseases like Downy Mildew in Grapes and Late Blight in Potatoes. Unlike standard contact sprays, Odin penetrates the leaf tissue to kill fungus from the inside out, ensuring your harvest remains premium and export-ready.
Manufactured by: Coromandel International Limited (The Murugappa Group)
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Stops Disease Immediately (Anti-Sporulant):
Odin halts the production of spores instantly. This "cauterizes" the infection, preventing the disease from spreading to healthy plants or neighboring fields. - ?️Curative & Preventative Action:
It works in two ways: it prevents the fungus from entering the plant, and it kills the fungus even if infection has already started (within 24-48 hours). - ⏳Translaminar Movement:
When sprayed on the top of the leaf, Odin moves through the tissue to the bottom side. This kills hidden fungus where standard sprays usually can't reach. - ?️Weather Resistant:
Because it penetrates the leaf quickly, it doesn't wash off easily. Ideally suited for the cloudy, humid weather that triggers Blight and Mildew. - ?Safe for Export Crops:
With a well-defined safety profile, Odin is safe for beneficial insects and does not harm the crop (no phytotoxicity), making it great for IPM programs.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Odin works differently than older fungicides. It specifically targets the "skeleton" of the fungus cell wall.
- Cell Wall Collapse: It disrupts the production of cellulose and phospholipids. Without a strong cell wall, the fungus bursts and dies.
- Reproduction Block: It stops the fungus from creating new spores (anti-sporulant), breaking the chain of infection.
- Deep Penetration: The "Translaminar" action ensures the chemical moves through the leaf layers to kill disease hiding on the underside.
Note: This unique action makes it an excellent tool to manage resistance against older chemicals like Metalaxyl.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |

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 (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | 400 g | 300 - 400 L | 1.0 - 1.5 g | 25 - 35 |
| Potato | 400 g | 300 L | 1.3 g | 16 - 21 |
| Tomato | 400 g | 300 L | 1.3 g | 21 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as a preventative spray when weather is cloudy/humid, or immediately at the first sign of disease symptoms.
- Mixing: Odin is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides (like Mancozeb). Do not mix with highly alkaline products like Bordeaux mixture or Lime Sulphur.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage of the plant canopy. The "translaminar" effect works best when the spray droplets land evenly on the leaves.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid inhalation of dust while mixing.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Odin cure Downy Mildew after infection?
Yes. Odin has curative properties and can stop the disease if applied within 24-48 hours of infection. It also stops spores from spreading.
2. Can I mix Odin with Mancozeb?
Yes. It is highly recommended to mix Odin with a contact fungicide like Mancozeb 75% WP. This creates a "double shield" and helps prevent resistance.
3. Is Odin safe for bees?
Yes, Dimethomorph is generally safe for bees and beneficial insects when used as directed, making it suitable for Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
4. What is the difference between Odin and Metalaxyl?
Odin (Dimethomorph) works on the cell wall, while Metalaxyl works on RNA synthesis. Odin is effective even against Metalaxyl-resistant fungal strains.
5. What is the price of Odin per acre?
The approximate cost is ₹1400 - ₹1500 per acre (400g dose), making it a premium solution for high-value protection.
