EBS I-Lane 40 Isoprothiolane 40% Ec

EBS I-Lane 40 Isoprothiolane 40% EC

1. Product Overview:

Isoprothiolane 40% EC is a systemic fungicide with excellent preventive and curative action, primarily used for controlling blast disease (Pyricularia oryzae) in rice crops. It belongs to the dithioacetate group and is formulated as an Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC), ensuring quick absorption, translocation, and long-lasting disease protection.

This fungicide is widely used due to its unique dual action, as it not only controls fungal diseases but also acts as a plant growth promoter, helping in tiller development and improving crop vigor and yield.

2. Mode of Action:

Isoprothiolane 40% EC functions through:

• Systemic Absorption: Rapidly absorbed by leaves and roots and moves through the plant via the xylem.

• Inhibition of Fungal Enzyme Activity: Disrupts fungal lipid metabolism, stopping fungal growth and spread.

• Preventive & Curative Effect: Stops spore germination, preventing infections, and controls existing disease symptoms.

• Tiller Promotion Effect: Enhances tillering in rice, leading to higher grain production.

Its ability to control fungal infections and improve plant health makes it a preferred choice for rice farmers worldwide.

3. Target Diseases Controlled:

✅ Blast Disease (Leaf, Node, and Neck Blast) – Pyricularia oryzae
✅ Sheath Blight – Rhizoctonia solani
✅ Brown Spot – Bipolaris oryzae
✅ Powdery Mildew – Erysiphe spp.

It is mainly used for rice, but also provides partial control against some fungal diseases in other crops.

4. Recommended Crops:

🌾 Rice (Paddy) – Primary target crop
🌱 Wheat, Barley, and Other Cereals (for rust and blight control)
🥦 Vegetables (for powdery mildew control)
🌿 Ornamental Plants & Turf Grass

5. Application and Dosage:

Isoprothiolane 40% EC is applied as a foliar spray for effective disease prevention and treatment.

Application Guidelines:

• Use knapsack or power sprayer with fine nozzles for uniform coverage.

• Apply at disease onset or preventively in high-risk conditions (high humidity, continuous rain).

• Avoid spraying during heavy rain for optimal absorption.

• Repeat spray every 10-12 days in case of severe disease conditions.

6. Benefits of Isoprothiolane 40% EC:

✅ Highly Effective Against Rice Blast: Protects crops from leaf, node, and neck blast, reducing yield losses.
✅ Systemic & Long-Lasting Protection: Quickly absorbed and translocated for extended disease control.
✅ Dual Benefit: Controls fungal infections and promotes plant growth by enhancing tillering.
✅ Prevents & Cures Diseases: Stops spore germination and kills existing fungal infections.
✅ Rainfast & Weather Resistant: Quickly absorbed, reducing wash-off risk after rainfall.
✅ Higher Yield & Better Grain Quality: Ensures healthy grain formation and improved productivity.

7. Precautions & Safety Measures:

• Wear Protective Gear: Use gloves, masks, and goggles while handling.

• Avoid Direct Contact: If exposed, wash the affected area with soap and water.

• Proper Storage: Store in a dry, cool place, away from food and animal feed.

• Re-entry Period: Allow 24 hours before entering treated fields.

• Environmental Safety: Avoid spraying near fish ponds and water sources.

8. Conclusion:

Isoprothiolane 40% EC is a powerful fungicide designed specifically for blast disease management in rice, ensuring stronger plant growth, better disease protection, and increased yield. Its dual benefits of disease control and plant growth promotion make it an essential tool for rice farmers.

By integrating Isoprothiolane 40% EC into their crop protection programs, farmers can achieve higher productivity, better grain quality, and reduced disease-related yield losses.
