Thiophanate Methyl 70% WP (فنگس کنٹرول) is a systemic fungicide used to prevent and control common fungal diseases in home gardens. Once applied, it is absorbed into treated plant tissue, providing protection beyond the surface of the leaves.

It is useful against powdery mildew, anthracnose, fungal leaf spots, certain blights and fungal root problems. It is especially helpful during humid or rainy weather, when fungal infections can spread quickly between leaves and plants.

Suitable for use on tomatoes, chillies, cucumbers, brinjal, roses, hibiscus, guava, citrus, fruit plants, ornamental flowers and lawns when used as directed.

Why Gardeners Choose It

• Systemic action protects treated plant tissue from within
• Helps control existing infection during its early stages
• Can also be used preventively during disease-prone weather
• Useful against several common leaf and root-zone fungal problems
• Suitable for vegetables, fruit plants, flowers, ornamentals and lawns

How to Use

Mix 1 gram in 1 litre of water.

Add the measured powder to a small amount of water first and stir until evenly mixed. Add the remaining water, mix again and use the prepared solution the same day.

For Leaf Diseases

Spray the upper and lower surfaces of affected leaves, along with the stems. Apply enough solution to cover the plant evenly without excessive dripping.

Remove badly infected or fallen leaves before spraying to reduce the amount of fungal material around the plant.

For Root-Zone Fungal Problems

Apply the prepared solution around the base of the plant, allowing it to reach the active root area. The potting mix should be slightly moist before application.

Do not saturate already waterlogged pots or beds. Improve drainage and reduce unnecessary watering because fungicide alone cannot correct poor drainage.

For Lawns and Garden Beds

Spray affected patches and a small area surrounding them. Apply evenly instead of soaking one spot heavily.

Application Frequency

Apply at the first signs of fungal infection.

If another treatment is required, repeat after 10 to 15 days. Avoid frequent back-to-back applications throughout the season because repeated use of the same fungicide can reduce its long-term effectiveness.

For preventive protection, apply when prolonged humidity or recurring fungal disease makes infection likely.

Best Time to Apply

Apply in the morning or late afternoon when the leaves are dry and no immediate rainfall is expected.

Avoid spraying during strong sunlight, high heat or windy conditions. If heavy rain falls shortly after application, another treatment may be required once the plant has dried.

Harvest Interval

For edible plants listed on the product label, leave at least 14 days between the final application and harvesting.

Wash harvested vegetables and fruit thoroughly before use.

Important Instructions

• Use only the recommended dose.
• Wear gloves and a mask while mixing and spraying.
• Apply during the morning or late afternoon.
• Keep the packet sealed in a cool, dry place away from children and pets.

Thiophanate Methyl works best when fungal disease is treated early. Leaves or stems that are already badly damaged will not become healthy again, but timely treatment can help protect new growth and slow further spread.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I spray the leaves or apply it around the roots?
Spray the leaves for powdery mildew, anthracnose, leaf spots and similar above-ground infections. Apply around the root zone when symptoms and growing conditions indicate a soil-related fungal problem.

Can damaged leaves become green again after treatment?
No. Existing spots, dead patches and badly damaged leaves will remain visible. Look for healthier new growth and reduced spread after treatment.

Can it be mixed with neem oil, insecticides or fertilizers?
Apply it separately unless the label of both products specifically confirms compatibility. When compatibility is unknown, leave a gap of 3 to 5 days between applications.

How should an opened packet be stored?
Remove excess air, seal the packet tightly and keep it completely dry. Moisture can cause wettable powder to form hard lumps and become difficult to measure or mix.
