Key Features & Benefits

• Triple-action fungicide: Provides contact, systemic, and vapor-phase activity for comprehensive disease protection.

• Broad-spectrum disease control: Helps manage a range of important fungal diseases.

• Fast absorption: Tebuconazole is absorbed by plant tissues, providing systemic protection.

• Excellent solubility: WG formulation offers quick and uniform dispersion when properly mixed with water.

• Phytotonic effect: Supports healthier crop growth and can contribute to improved yield and produce quality.

• Effective disease management: Combines the systemic activity of Tebuconazole with the multi-site contact activity of Sulphur.

• Resistance-management tool: The combination of active ingredients with different modes of action can be useful as part of an integrated fungicide resistance-management program.

Mode of Action

Tebuconazole

Tebuconazole is a systemic triazole fungicide that is absorbed by plant tissues and interferes with fungal sterol biosynthesis. This disrupts the formation and development of fungal cell membranes, thereby inhibiting fungal growth.

Sulphur

Sulphur acts primarily as a multi-site contact fungicide. It interferes with fungal cellular processes, including respiration and electron transport, resulting in inhibition of fungal growth and development. Its vapor activity can also contribute to disease suppression around treated plant surfaces.

The combination of systemic Tebuconazole and multi-site Sulphur provides complementary protection against fungal pathogens.

Recommended Crops, Diseases & Dosage

Active Ingredient Dose

At the recommended application rate of 500 g Sumo per acre, the product supplies approximately:

• Tebuconazole 10%: 50 g/acre

• Sulphur 65%: 325 g/acre

Note: The supplied recommendation table lists active-ingredient doses as 375 g + 3250 g/acre, which do not correspond to a 500 g/acre formulation dose for a 10% + 65% WG product. The formulation dose above has therefore been retained as 500 g/acre, while the active-ingredient quantities are calculated from the stated formulation strength. Verify the final label/registered recommendation before publishing regulatory dosage claims.

How to Use Sumo Fungicide

Use Sumo as a foliar spray at the recommended dose. Measure the required quantity of product, mix it thoroughly with a suitable quantity of clean water, and apply uniformly over the crop canopy. For best results, ensure good coverage of leaves and other susceptible plant parts.

Apply at the early appearance of disease symptoms or as recommended for the specific crop and disease. Avoid unnecessary repeated applications and follow an integrated disease-management program.
