Tamago Fungicide (Chlorothalonil 75% WP) by IFFCO-MC
The Ultimate "Fair Value" Shield Against Blight, Leaf Spots, and Rust.
Tamago (Chlorothalonil 75% WP) is a premium, broad-spectrum contact fungicide brought to you by the joint venture of IFFCO and Mitsubishi Corporation. It acts as a robust protective shield for your crops, preventing fungal spores from entering plant tissues.
Best For: Farmers seeking a powerful resistance-management tool. It is highly effective against Early and Late Blight in potatoes and Tikka Leaf Spot in groundnut. Because it attacks fungi at multiple sites, it prevents pests from developing resistance, making it an essential partner for tank-mixing with systemic fungicides.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Stops Disease Fast: Prevents fungal spores from germinating immediately upon contact, stopping the infection before it starts.
- ?️Resistance Fighter: Features a Multi-Site Mode of Action (FRAC M05). Unlike systemic fungicides, fungi cannot easily develop resistance to Tamago, making it a perfect rotation partner.
- ⏳Long-Lasting Protection: Stays on the leaf surface to provide durable defense against reinfection, ensuring your crop stays healthy longer.
- ?️Rainfast Formula: Excellent adhesion to plant surfaces. Once dried, it resists washing off by rain or irrigation, offering reliable protection during monsoons.
- ?Japanese Quality, Indian Price: Manufactured under strict Mitsubishi quality standards but priced fairly for the Indian farmer by IFFCO-MC.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Tamago is a contact fungicide that acts as a general cell toxicant. It targets the fungus at multiple biochemical sites, making it nearly impossible for the disease to survive.
- Energy Blockade: It disrupts the fungus's ability to produce energy (ATP) by blocking the glycolysis pathway.
- Enzyme Inactivation: The active ingredient binds to essential amino acids inside the fungal cell, shutting down vital life processes.
- Spore Killer: It prevents fungal spores from germinating and penetrating the leaf surface. It acts as a protective barrier.
Note: Tamago is preventive. It must be applied before the disease enters the plant tissue for maximum results.
Target Crops & Pests
| Crop | Target Pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Groundnut | Tikka Leaf Spot (Early & Late), Rust |
| Potato | Early Blight, Late Blight |
| Vegetables (Chilli, Tomato, etc.) | Fruit Rot, Anthracnose, Leaf Spots |
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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Groundnut | 350 - 460 g | 240 - 320 L | 1.5 - 2.0 g | 14 |
| Potato | 350 - 500 g | 240 - 320 L | 1.5 - 2.0 g | 14 |
| Fruit Crops (Apple/Grape) | As per Canopy | As per Canopy | 2.0 g | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply prophylactically (preventively) before disease symptoms appear, or at the very first sign of leaf spots. Repeat every 10-14 days.
- Mixing: Tamago is a Wettable Powder. Do not dump it directly into the tank. First, make a "slurry" (cream-like paste) in a bucket with a little water, then pour this into the main tank.
- Coverage: Use high water volume (minimum 200L/acre) to ensure the lower leaves and stems are fully coated.
- Safety:WARNING: This product is a severe eye irritant. Always wear tight-fitting goggles and a mask during mixing and spraying.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I mix Tamago with other pesticides?
Yes, it is compatible with most insecticides and fungicides like Metalaxyl and Cymoxanil. However, NEVER mix it with oil-based formulations or apply it immediately after an oil spray, as this causes leaf burn.
2. Is Tamago a curative or preventive fungicide?
Tamago is primarily a preventive fungicide. It works best when applied before the disease establishes itself. It protects the plant from future infections.
3. Is it safe for honeybees?
Yes, unlike many insecticides, Chlorothalonil is practically non-toxic to honeybees, making it a safer option during flowering stages (though direct spraying on bees should still be avoided).
4. Why is Tamago called a "Fair Value" product?
IFFCO-MC is a joint venture designed to remove middle-men inflation. Tamago is priced to give farmers Japanese quality at a reasonable, transparent Indian price.
5. Can I use it on export crops?
Tamago is excellent for early-season use. However, for export crops (like grapes to the EU), stop usage well before harvest and check the specific MRLs of the destination country.
