Roko Flo - Thiophanate Methyl 41.7% SC - Biostadt
Item description
Biostadt Roko Flo Fungicide (Thiophanate Methyl 41.7% SC)
The advanced liquid solution for superior fungal disease control in Paddy, Vegetables, and Fruits.
Biostadt Roko Flo acts as the modern evolution of the trusted "Roko" powder. It is a Suspension Concentrate (SC), meaning it is a liquid formulation that mixes easily with water without clogging nozzles. It provides powerful protection against tough diseases like Blast, Anthracnose, and Leaf Spot.
Best For: Farmers looking for a "Systemic" fungicide that works from the inside out to cure hidden infections and protect new plant growth.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️ Dual Action Power: Acts as both a Preventive (stops disease before it starts) and Curative (heals existing infections) solution.
- ?️ Superior Coverage: The liquid technology contains ultra-small particles that cover more leaf area than traditional powders.
- ⏳ Long-Lasting Control: Once absorbed, it releases slowly within the plant, providing protection for longer durations.
- ?️ Rainfast in 2-4 Hours: Quickly absorbed by the plant, so it doesn't wash off easily if it rains a few hours after spraying.
- ? Phytotonic Effect: Keeps crops green and healthy ("Green Effect"), helping to improve photosynthesis and yield.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Roko Flo is a Systemic Fungicide with acropetal movement (moves upwards in the plant).
- Absorption: Upon spraying, the liquid is rapidly absorbed through the leaves or roots.
- Transformation: Inside the plant, it converts into Carbendazim (MBC), a powerful anti-fungal agent.
- Inhibition: It stops the fungus from dividing (Mitosis) by disrupting cell structure, effectively killing the fungus and stopping spread.
Because it moves upwards, it protects new leaves that grow after spraying!
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Paddy (Rice) | Blast

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 (Rice) | 400 ml | 200 L | 2.0 ml | 37 |
| Chilli / Veggies | 400 ml | 200 L | 2.0 ml | 10 |
| Apple / Grapes | 280 - 400 ml | Varies | 0.5 - 1.0 ml | Varies |
*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 preventive spray (before disease is severe) or at the very first sign of disease. For Paddy, spray at Booting and Heading stages.
- Mixing: Do NOT mix with alkaline products like Bordeaux Mixture or Lime Sulfur, as this destroys the medicine. Ensure water pH is neutral (6-7).
- Coverage: Ensure uniform coverage. Because it is systemic, it will move inside the plant, but good initial coverage helps absorption.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Roko WP and Roko
Flo?
Roko WP is a powder (70%
concentration) while Roko Flo is a liquid (41.7%
concentration). Roko Flo mixes easier, has smaller particles
for better coverage, and is dust-free.
2. Can I mix Roko Flo with insecticides?
Yes, it is compatible with common insecticides like
Imidacloprid and Chlorpyrifos. Always mix a small amount first to
check.
3. Is Roko Flo effective against Root Wilt?
Yes, but for Wilt, it works best when applied as a
soil drench (poured near roots) so the roots can absorb it
directly.
4. What if it rains after spraying?
Roko Flo is generally rainfast after 2 to 4 hours. Once it
dries and enters the plant, rain will not wash it away.
5. Why should I rotate Roko Flo with other
fungicides?
To prevent resistance. Do
not use Roko Flo (or any Benzimidazole) more than twice per
season. Rotate with fungicides like Mancozeb.
