Merivon Fungicide Features and Benefits
Dual-Mode Respiration Blocker
Fluxapyroxad inhibits fungal respiration at Complex II (SDHI), while Pyraclostrobin blocks electron transport at Complex III (QoI), resulting in complete energy disruption of fungal cells.
Preventive + Curative + Long Residual
Provides strong preventive action and curative control during early infection stages with extended field persistence.
Translaminar & Systemic Movement
Rapidly penetrates leaf surface and protects both upper and lower leaf surfaces.
Anti-Sporulant Action
Reduces spore production and secondary disease spread in the field.
AgCelence® Effect (Plant Health Benefits)
Improves photosynthesis efficiency, greener leaves, better fruit shine, uniform size, and improved shelf life.
Excellent Rain Fastness
Becomes rainfast within 1–2 hours after spraying.

| Chilli | Anthracnose, Fruit Rot | 0.4 L | 500 L | 5 Days |
Method of Application: Foliar Spray
Best Time to Apply: Preventive spray or at early disease appearance stage.
Spray Interval: 10–14 days depending on disease pressure.
Mode of Action
Fluxapyroxad belongs to the SDHI (Succinate Dehydrogenase Inhibitor) class that blocks fungal respiration at mitochondrial complex II, stopping energy production.
Pyraclostrobin belongs to the QoI (Quinone outside inhibitor) group that blocks electron transfer in complex III. The combination provides a strong resistance management strategy and broader disease spectrum.
