Conika Fungicide
Conika fungicide is a powerful combination fungicide and bactericide formulated with Kasugamycin 5% + Copper Oxychloride 45% WP. It delivers both systemic and contact action, making it highly effective against stubborn bacterial and fungal diseases in crops like rice, vegetables, fruits, and plantation crops.
Kasugamycin provides deep systemic control by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria and certain fungi, while Copper Oxychloride creates a protective multi-site barrier on the plant surface. This dual-action approach ensures preventive, curative, and resistance-management benefits, making Conika a reliable solution for integrated disease management (IDM).
Conika fungicideis widely recommended for controlling Bacterial Leaf Blight in rice and various leaf spot, blight, and canker diseases in horticultural crops.

Conika Features and Benefits
Dual Mechanism Protection
Combines antibiotic systemic action with protective copper barrier for broad-spectrum disease control.
Systemic Bacterial Control
Kasugamycin penetrates plant tissues and inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria, effectively managing internal infections.
Multi-Site Contact Action
Copper Oxychloride acts on multiple metabolic sites of pathogens, reducing resistance development.
Preventive and Curative Effect
Works best when applied at early disease stage but also provides suppression after infection onset.
Broad Crop Suitability
Effective in cereals, vegetables, fruit crops, and plantation crops.
Resistance Management Tool
The combination of antibiotic and copper chemistry lowers the risk of resistance buildup.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Target Diseases | Dosage/Ha | Dilution in Water | Waiting Period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | Bacterial Leaf Blight | 1 – 1.5 kg | 500 L | 21 Days |
| Tomato | Bacterial Spot, Leaf Spot | 1.5 kg | 500 L | 7 Days |
| Chilli | Bacterial Leaf Spot | 1.5 kg | 500 L | 7 Days |
| Citrus | Canker, Leaf Spot | 1.5 – 2 kg | 500 – 1000 L | 15 Days |
| Grapes | Downy Mildew, Bacterial Diseases | 1.5 kg | 500 – 1000 L | 10 Days |
Rain Fastness: Approximately 3 hours after spray.
Method of Application: Uniform foliar spray ensuring full leaf coverage. Apply at early disease appearance or as preventive spray under favorable disease conditions.
Mode of Action Explained
Kasugamycin (Antibiotic Action):
Belongs to the aminoglycoside group. It blocks bacterial protein synthesis by binding to ribosomes, preventing pathogen multiplication.
Copper Oxychloride (Contact Multi-Site Action):
Releases copper ions that denature proteins and enzymes in fungal and bacterial cells, providing protective coverage on plant surfaces.
Research-Based Advantages
• Proven effectiveness in managing Bacterial Leaf Blight in rice under humid conditions.
• Copper component enhances preventive disease barrier during monsoon.
• Suitable for resistance rotation programs in vegetable crops.
• Integrated Disease Management (IDM) compatible.
Safety and Precautions
• Wear gloves, mask, and protective clothing during application.
• Avoid spraying during strong winds or high temperatures.
• Do not mix with highly alkaline products.
• Follow label instructions strictly.
