Uchiwa Fungicide: Complete Guide (Tebuconazole 10% + Sulphur 65% WG)
Protect your crops with the dual power of Japanese technology and IFFCO reliability.
Uchiwa is a advanced, broad-spectrum fungicide brought to you by IFFCO-MC. It combines two powerful active ingredients—Tebuconazole and Sulphur—in a modern "Water Dispersible Granule" (WG) formulation. This unique "double-engine" formula doesn't just kill fungus; it also fights mites and provides essential nutrition to your plants, making them greener and healthier.

Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- ⏱️Triple Action Power: Acts as a preventative shield, a curative medicine, and a mite killer (acaricide) all in one spray.
- ?️Dual Mode of Action: Sulphur kills fungus on the leaf surface (Contact), while Tebuconazole enters the plant to kill hidden disease (Systemic).
- ⏳Phytotonic Effect (Greening): The Sulphur content acts as a nutrient, boosting chlorophyll to make leaves greener and plants healthier.
- ?️Excellent Rainfastness: The WG formulation absorbs quickly, so it won't wash off easily if it rains a few hours after spraying.
- ?Dust-Free Safety: Unlike old powders, these granules dissolve instantly in water and don't create toxic dust clouds, making it safer for the user.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Uchiwa uses a "Synergistic" approach, attacking the fungus from both the inside and the outside to prevent resistance.
- Contact Action (Sulphur): It creates a toxic zone on the leaf surface. When fungal spores land, the sulphur disrupts their breathing (respiration), killing them instantly.
- Systemic Action (Tebuconazole): It is absorbed by the leaf and travels inside the plant (Acropetal movement). It stops the fungus from building its cell walls (Ergosterol inhibition), halting disease spread from within.
- Vapor Action: The sulphur component releases a vapor that reaches hidden areas of dense crops, ensuring no pest is left safe.
Note: This multi-site action makes it very difficult for fungi to develop resistance against Uchiwa.

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) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chilli | 500 g | 200 L | 2.5 g | 5 Days |
| Soybean | 500 g | 200 L | 2.5 g | 26 Days |
| Domestic Use | - | - | 2.5 - 3 g | - |
*PHI = Pre-Harvest Interval: The minimum number of days to wait between the last spray and harvesting to ensure food safety.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Timing: Apply as a preventive measure (before disease is severe) or at the very first sign of disease symptoms.
- Mixing (Slurry Method): Do not dump granules directly into the full tank. First, dissolve the granules in a small bucket of water to make a "slurry," then add this to the spray tank.
- Coverage: Use a Hollow Cone Nozzle to create a fine mist. This ensures the medicine reaches the underside of leaves where mildew hides.
- Safety: Always wear PPE (gloves, mask, goggles). Wash hands thoroughly after use. Avoid spraying during strong winds.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does Uchiwa control mites?
Yes, the Sulphur component in Uchiwa is an effective acaricide, helping to control mites alongside fungal diseases.
2. Can I mix Uchiwa with other insecticides?
Generally, Uchiwa is compatible with most common insecticides and liquid fertilizers. However, always perform a small "jar test" before mixing large quantities.
3. What time of day is best for spraying?
Spray in the early morning or late evening. Avoid hot afternoons (11 AM to 3 PM) to prevent rapid evaporation and to protect honeybees.
4. What is the "Phytotonic Effect"?
This refers to the "greening" of the plant. The sulphur in Uchiwa acts as a nutrient, improving chlorophyll production and making the crop look visibly healthier.
5. Is it safe for flowers/pollinators?
It can be toxic to bees. Do not spray when bees are actively foraging. Spray in the late evening when bees have returned to their hives.
