Saikin Tricyclazole 75% WP: The Ultimate Solution for Rice Blast Control
Safeguard your paddy yield with IFFCO-MC's trusted systemic fungicide, specifically engineered to combat the devastating Rice Blast disease.
Saikin (Tricyclazole 75% WP) is a premium "Broad Spectrum Systemic Fungicide" brought to you by the joint venture of IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corporation. Designed specifically for paddy farmers, Saikin provides powerful protection against all stages of the Blast disease (Leaf, Node, and Neck Blast). Unlike ordinary fungicides, Saikin works by preventing the fungus from penetrating the leaf surface, acting as a shield for your crop. It is rapidly absorbed by the plant, ensuring complete protection from the inside out.
Best For: Paddy farmers facing recurring issues with Leaf Blast and Neck Blast (Rotten Neck) seeking a cost-effective, high-quality solution.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Rapid Absorption: The active ingredient is quickly absorbed by roots and leaves, moving swiftly within the plant to protect new growth.
- ?️Complete Systemic Armor: It moves upward (acropetally) in the plant, protecting the emerging leaves and panicles that were not directly sprayed.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Protection: Offers a long duration of control, keeping your crop safe for 14 to 21 days after application.
- ?️Excellent Rainfastness: Becomes rainfast within just 1 hour of application, making it ideal for the monsoon (Kharif) season.
- ?Yield Enhancement: By preventing Neck Blast, it ensures grains fill completely, reducing "chaffy" grains and breakage during milling.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Saikin works as a Melanin Biosynthesis Inhibitor (MBI). The Rice Blast fungus needs a hard, black pigment called melanin to punch through the rice leaf. Saikin stops the fungus from producing this pigment.
- Blocks Melanin: It inhibits the reductase enzymes in the fungal pathway.
- Weakens Structure: Without melanin, the fungal spore cannot build the pressure needed to infect the plant.
- Prevents Entry: The fungal "needle" fails to penetrate the leaf, and the infection is aborted before it begins.
Note: Because it stops entry, it is most effective when applied preventively (before severe disease appears).

| Paddy (Rice) | Neck Blast (Rotten Neck) |
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 (Rice) | 120 - 160 g | 200 L | 0.6 - 0.8 g | 30 Days |
| Nursery | To cover area | As required | 0.6 g | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: For Leaf Blast, apply as soon as small specks appear. For Neck Blast, the critical time is the Late Booting Stage (just before the panicle emerges).
- Mixing: Compatible with most pesticides like Cartap or Hexaconazole. WARNING: Never mix with Lime Sulphur or Bordeaux mixture (alkaline substances destroy the medicine).
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone nozzle to ensure fine mist covers both sides of the leaves. Use sufficient water (200L/acre) to penetrate the canopy.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. The product is highly toxic if inhaled.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Saikin cure the disease after it has spread?
Saikin is primarily a preventive fungicide. It works best before the disease is severe. It has some curative action on new spots but cannot "heal" dead tissue.
2. Can I use Saikin on Basmati rice meant for export to the EU?
No. The European Union has very strict limits (0.01 ppm) for Tricyclazole. Using Saikin on export-quality Basmati may lead to rejection. It is safe for domestic use.
3. What if it rains after spraying?
Saikin is rainfast within 1 hour. If it rains an hour after you spray, you do not need to spray again.
4. Can I mix it with insecticides for stem borer?
Yes, Saikin is physically compatible with common insecticides like Cartap Hydrochloride or Chlorantraniliprole for simultaneous pest control.
5. Why is the toxicity label yellow?
Tricyclazole is classified as highly toxic. You must use a face mask and gloves while mixing to avoid inhaling the powder.
