Repoc Fungicide
Repoc Fungicide (Dimethomorph 50% WP) is a highly effective systemic fungicide specially designed to control destructive Oomycete fungi such as Downy Mildew and Late Blight. Dimethomorph belongs to the Cinnamic acid amide (CAA) group and works by inhibiting fungal cell wall formation, effectively stopping disease development at an early stage.
Repoc Fungicide widely recommended for grapes, vegetables, and other high-value crops where Downy Mildew pressure is severe. Due to its targeted action and strong anti-sporulant properties, it helps farmers reduce crop losses and maintain export-quality produce.

Repoc Fungicide Mode of Action
Dimethomorph interferes with fungal cell wall synthesis by disrupting phospholipid and cellulose deposition in the pathogen. This results in:
-
Inhibition of mycelial growth
-
Prevention of spore germination
-
Suppression of sporulation
-
Early-stage disease arrest
Because it specifically targets Oomycete fungi, it delivers highly focused control with minimal impact on non-target organisms when used as directed.
Key Features and Benefits
Systemic & Translaminar Movement:
After foliar application, it penetrates leaf tissue and moves across leaf surfaces, ensuring uniform protection.
Strong Anti-Sporulant Activity:
Reduces secondary spread by stopping new spore formation.
Curative + Protective Action:
Effective when applied at early infection stages and also provides preventive protection.
Rain fastness:
Becomes rainfast within approximately 2–3 hours after spraying.
Resistance Management Tool:
Best used in rotation or tank-mix with multi-site fungicides to delay resistance development.
Improves Crop Quality:
Maintains healthy foliage, improving yield, fruit size, and marketable quality.
