Bayer Folicur is a world-renowned, broad-spectrum systemic fungicide containing Tebuconazole 25.9% EC (Emulsifiable Concentrate). It belongs to the Triazole (Demethylation Inhibitor - DMI) chemical group.
Folicur works by rapidly penetrating plant tissues and moving systemically upward (acropetally) to inhibit the biosynthesis of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes. This dual preventive, curative, and eradicative action stops fungal growth in its tracks, halts spore production, and provides long-lasting protection while imparting a healthy green sheen (tonic effect) to the crop.

Weather Conditions: Spray during the early morning or late evening hours when temperatures are cooler and wind speeds are minimal to ensure uniform leaf coverage and prevent rapid evaporation.
Rainfastness: Avoid spraying if rainfall is expected within 3 to 4 hours of application.
