Sumitomo Ormie - Fungicide
umitomo Chemical's Ormie is a dual-action, systemic fungicide containing Validamycin 5% and Tebuconazole 15% SC, used to control fungal diseases like sheath blight in rice by inhibiting fungal entry and growth, building plant defenses, and offering a phytotonic effect for healthier crops and better yields, working through both contact and systemic action for comprehensive disease management.
Key Features:
Dual Action: Combines Validamycin (disrupts fungal cell wall formation) and Tebuconazole (inhibits sterol biosynthesis) for multi-site control.
Systemic & Contact: Spreads within the plant to provide protective and curative action.
Plant Defense: Activates the plant's own defense mechanisms.
Phytotonic Effect: Promotes lush, green, healthy growth.
Primary Use: Highly effective against sheath blight in rice.
How it Works:
Validamycin: Acts as an antibiotic, stopping the fungus from entering the plant by affecting hyphae.
Tebuconazole: Blocks the production of ergosterol, a vital component of fungal cell membranes, halting growth.
Application:
Used preventatively or at the early stages of disease in paddy/rice crops.
In essence, Ormie provides comprehensive fungal control by attacking pathogens at multiple points while also strengthening the plant's natural resistance, leading to better yield and quality.
