How It Works: Mode of Action
Tilt works by targeting the fungal cell walls. It interferes with the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component for fungi.
- Stops Growth: It blocks the production of ergosterol, causing the fungal cell membrane to collapse.
- Curative Action: Because it is systemic, it penetrates the leaf tissue to kill the fungus growing inside (mycelium).
- Long-Lasting: It remains active in the plant system, protecting new growth for weeks.

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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wheat | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 30 |
| Rice | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 30 |
| Groundnut | 200 ml | 200 L | 1 ml | 15 |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply preventively or immediately when the first symptoms (spots/pustules) appear. For Wheat, spray at the flag leaf stage for best grain quality.
- Mixing: Compatible with most insecticides and fertilizers. Perform a "Jar Test" before mixing large tank quantities.
- Coverage: Ensure thorough coverage. For Rice Sheath Blight, direct the spray nozzle toward the lower stem near the water line.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use.
