Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP (فنگس کنٹرول) is a systemic fungicide used to prevent and control common fungal diseases in home-garden plants. It is absorbed through treated leaves and stems, helping control infection within the plant instead of remaining only on the surface.

It is commonly used against powdery mildew, anthracnose, fungal leaf spots, rust, scab and certain fungal rots. It is particularly useful during humid and rainy weather when fungal problems can spread quickly.

Suitable for vegetables, fruit plants, roses, hibiscus, flowering plants and ornamentals growing in pots, grow bags or garden beds.

Why Gardeners Choose It

• Systemic action protects treated plant tissue from within
• Helps stop early fungal infection from spreading
• Suitable for preventive and early-stage treatment
• Useful against several common leaf and stem diseases
• Easy to dissolve and apply with a garden sprayer
• Concentrated 70% wettable powder formulation

How to Use

Mix 1 gram in 1 litre of clean water.

For larger sprayers:

• 5 litres of water: 5 grams
• 10 litres of water: 10 grams
• 16 litres of water: 16 grams

First mix the measured powder with a small amount of water to make a smooth solution. Add the remaining water, stir thoroughly and use the prepared mixture the same day.

How to Spray

Spray evenly over the leaves and stems, including the undersides of leaves where fungal spots often begin.

Apply enough to cover the plant without excessive dripping. This 1g/L dose is intended for foliar spraying. Do not use it as a soil drench unless separate product directions provide a root-application rate.

Application Frequency

Apply at the first signs of fungal disease.

If symptoms continue, repeat after 7 to 10 days. Do not increase the concentration for a severe infection.

Avoid using Thiophanate Methyl continuously throughout the season. When further fungicide treatment is required, alternate with a product containing a different active ingredient.

Best Time to Apply

Spray during the early morning or late afternoon when the leaves are dry and temperatures are cooler.

Choose a time when at least several rain-free hours are expected. Avoid spraying during strong sunlight, high heat or windy weather.

Waiting Period

For edible home-garden plants, leave at least 14 days between the final spray and harvesting.

Wash harvested vegetables and fruit thoroughly before use.

How to Improve Results

• Remove badly infected and fallen leaves before spraying
• Keep sufficient space between plants for airflow
• Water around the base instead of repeatedly wetting the leaves
• Correct waterlogging and blocked drainage
• Clean pruning tools after removing infected growth
• Monitor nearby plants for early signs of the same disease

Existing spots and damaged leaves will not become healthy again. Successful treatment is indicated by reduced spread and cleaner new growth.

Important Instructions

• Use only the recommended concentration.
• Wear gloves and a mask while mixing and spraying.
• Keep children and pets away until the spray has dried.
• Store the packet tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix it with neem oil or another spray?
Apply it separately. Leave a gap of approximately 3 to 5 days between Thiophanate Methyl and neem oil, horticultural oils or another concentrated treatment.

What should I do if it rains soon after spraying?
If heavy rain washes the plant shortly after application, wait until the leaves are dry and assess whether another treatment is needed.

Why is the disease returning after treatment?
Repeated leaf wetness, poor airflow, waterlogged soil or continuous use of the same fungicide can allow fungal problems to return. Correct the growing conditions and avoid relying on one active ingredient throughout the season.

Can the mixed solution be stored for another day?
No. Prepare only the amount required and use it on the same day.
