Melody Duo Fungicide
Iprovalicarb 5.5% + Propineb 61.25% WP
Melody Duo Fungicide is a powerful combination fungicide containing Iprovalicarb 5.5% + Propineb 61.25% w/w WP, designed to provide both preventive and curative control against destructive diseases like Downy Mildew and Late Blight.
By combining the systemic, cell wall–inhibiting activity of Iprovalicarb with the multi-site protective action of Propineb, Melody Duo Fungicide delivers strong disease knockdown along with long-lasting surface protection. It is widely recommended for grapes, vegetables, and other high-value horticultural crops where disease pressure is high and resistance management is critical.

Melody Duo Fungicide Features and Benefits
Curative + Preventive Control
Controls infection even after early establishment while forming a protective barrier against new fungal attacks.
Systemic Action (Iprovalicarb)
Absorbed into plant tissues and inhibits fungal cell wall synthesis, effectively stopping mycelial growth of Oomycete fungi.
Multi-Site Contact Protection (Propineb)
Acts on multiple enzyme systems in fungal cells, reducing resistance development risk.
Strong Anti-Sporulant Effect
Prevents sporulation, limiting secondary spread of disease within the field.
Resistance Management Tool
Combination of site-specific and multi-site fungicide chemistry makes it suitable for resistance rotation programs.
Uniform Leaf Coverage
Wettable powder formulation ensures good adhesion and coverage on foliage.
Usage and Crop Recommendations
| Crop | Target Diseases | Dosage/Ha (Kg) | Water Volume (L/Ha) | Waiting Period (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | Downy Mildew | 1.5 – 2.0 kg | 500 – 1000 L | 7 – 10 Days |
| Potato | Late Blight | 1.5 – 2.0 kg | 500 L | 10 Days |
| Tomato | Late Blight | 1.5 kg | 500 L | 7 Days |
| Cucumber | Downy Mildew | 1.5 kg | 500 L | 5 Days |
| Onion | Downy Mildew | 1.5 kg | 500 L | 7 Days |
Method of Application
Foliar spray. Apply preventively or at the very first appearance of disease symptoms for best results.
Rain Fastness
Approximately 2–3 hours after application under normal weather conditions.
Mode of Action Explained
Iprovalicarb inhibits cell wall formation in Oomycete fungi by disrupting lipid metabolism and mycelial growth. It provides translaminar and systemic movement inside the plant tissue.
Propineb works through multi-site enzyme inhibition, preventing fungal respiration and metabolic activity on the leaf surface.
This dual mechanism ensures:
• Fast disease suppression
• Long residual control
• Lower resistance risk
Trust Markers
• Dual chemistry for resistance management
• Recommended for high-value crops
• Strong anti-sporulant properties
• Suitable for Integrated Disease Management programs
• Reliable performance under moderate disease pressure
• Widely used in horticultural crop protection programs
