Efficient Control of Fungal DiseasesDodine targets a spectrum of fungal diseases such as scab and leaf spot, notably in fruit production. Its primary action is the inhibition of sterol biosynthesis within fungal cell membranes, preventing the development and spread of pathogenic fungi. This creates healthier crops and supports high-quality yields for growers seeking reliable agricultural solutions.
Physical & Chemical ProfileDodine is supplied as a white to off-white powder or granules, with a melting point of 148-150C. It is highly soluble in water and only slightly soluble in ethanol, remaining stable under cool, dry, well-ventilated storage. The product boasts high purity (98%) and maintains excellent performance when stored away from acids, alkalis, and direct sunlight.
Packaging and Safe StorageDodine is available in 25 kg fiber drums or customized packaging as needed. To preserve its effectiveness and extend its two-year shelf life, store Dodine in a location that is dry, free from direct sunlight, and well-ventilated. Following these safety conditions ensures product quality for the duration of its shelf life.
FAQs of Dodine:
Q: How should Dodine be stored to maintain its efficacy?
A: Dodine should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, strong acids, and alkalis. Proper storage ensures product stability and preserves its two-year shelf life.
Q: What process does Dodine use to control fungal diseases?
A: Dodine functions by inhibiting sterol biosynthesis in the cell membranes of fungi, disrupting their growth and preventing the spread of diseases such as scab and leaf spot on fruit crops.
Q: When is Dodine most effectively applied to crops?
A: Dodine is best applied as a preventative measure at the onset of conditions favorable for fungal development or upon first signs of infection. Regular monitoring of crops ensures timely and effective application.
Q: Where is the best place to use Dodine in agriculture?
A: Dodine is ideally suited for fruit cultivation, where it helps control major fungal diseases. It is compatible with most fungicides, making it practical for integrated disease management programs, provided it is not mixed with strong acids or alkalis.
Q: What are the safety and toxicity considerations for using Dodine?
A: Dodine is classified as moderately hazardous (WHO Class II). Appropriate safety measures, such as wearing protective clothing and avoiding inhalation or direct contact, should be followed during handling and application.
Q: What are the primary benefits of using Dodine for disease control?
A: Dodine provides effective and targeted control of problematic fungi, promotes healthy crop development, and is compatible with standard fungicides except strong acids or alkalis. Its water solubility and stable storage make it convenient for growers.
