Dodine Fungicide | POMAIS

Flexible Formulations and Clear Usage Guidelines for Easy Market Adaptation

At POMAIS, we offer Dodine fungicide in both technical-grade and ready-to-use formulations, making it suitable for bulk repacking, local formulation, or direct retail use. Our formulations are stable, water-compatible, and easy to handle, which helps simplify logistics and improve user experience at the farm level.

1. Available Formulations

• Dodine 98% TC (Technical Grade)
  Ideal for local formulation, industrial biocide blending, or customized mixtures. Supplied in sealed drums, suitable for bulk buyers or regulatory registrants.

• Dodine 40% SC (Suspension Concentrate)
  Easy-to-dilute liquid formulation with strong adhesion to plant surfaces. Commonly used in vegetable protection (e.g. cucumbers, leafy crops).

• Dodine 50% SC
  Higher concentration SC for professional orchard and tree crop spraying. Popular in fruit tree and landscape protection programs where persistent coverage is needed.

All formulations can be adjusted for different packaging sizes, languages, and market label requirements.

2. Recommended Dosage and Use Rate

The actual dosage depends on crop type, disease severity, and local label requirements. Common usage guidelines include:

• Cucumber wilt control (root irrigation):
  Apply at early transplanting or early disease signs using 40–50 ml per 15L water, or approximately 1–1.2 L per hectare, diluted in sufficient water.

• Orchard foliar protection (scab, blight):
  Apply 400–600 times dilution, depending on tree size and canopy density.

• Repeat applications:
  Use up to 3 times per season with a 7-day interval between sprays. Maintain a 2-day pre-harvest interval for safety.

3. Application Method

• Root irrigation (recommended for cucumber and vegetable crops)
  Apply directly to the root zone after transplanting for early wilt control.

• Foliar spraying
  Use high-coverage nozzles for trees and large-leaf crops. Best applied in the evening, avoiding direct sunlight and expected rainfall within 1 hour.

• Use with clean water, and avoid mixing with strong alkaline substances or oils unless compatibility is confirmed.

Dodine's formulations are designed to support different farm sizes, climates, and spray equipment types, giving you flexibility to serve diverse customer segments in your market.

Wide Crop Compatibility and Strong Control Against Key Fungal Diseases

Dodine fungicide is known for its broad application range, making it a practical solution for growers across multiple sectors—from commercial orchards to vegetable farms and landscape maintenance. Its protective mode of action makes it ideal for early-season sprays, routine disease prevention, and rotation programs in high-pressure fungal environments.

1. Target Crops

Dodine is approved or widely used on the following crop categories:

Fruits and Tree Crops:

• Apples

• Pears

• Walnuts

• Peaches

• Plums

• Cherries

Vegetables:

• Cucumbers

• Carrots

• Onions

• Leeks

• Lettuce and leafy greens

Others:

• Ornamental plants (roses, flowering shrubs)

• Shade trees and nursery crops

• Treated seeds (as a disinfectant for fungal protection during storage)

2. Major Diseases Controlled

Dodine shows reliable activity against many surface-contact fungal diseases, especially those that affect leaves, fruit skin, and roots:

3. Special Use Case: Cucumber Wilt Management

Dodine is widely recognized for its effectiveness against cucumber wilt, especially when applied through root irrigation after transplanting. This approach:

• Protects root zones during the plant’s vulnerable period

• Reduces early infection risk in humid, soil-borne pathogen conditions

• Complements drip irrigation systems for efficient delivery

By offering reliable protection across fruit, vegetable, and horticulture sectors, Dodine allows distributors to target multiple market segments with a single, well-positioned product.

How Dodine Works – A Contact Fungicide with Membrane-Disrupting Action

Dodine is a non-systemic, protective fungicide that works by directly attacking the outer structure of fungal cells. Its mode of action is distinct from most systemic fungicides, making it a strong tool in preventive spray programs and anti-resistance strategies.

1. Targets the Fungal Cell Membrane

Dodine’s primary mode of action is to disrupt the permeability of fungal cell membranes. Here’s how it works:

• It binds to the cell membrane, weakening its structure

• This causes leakage of essential contents, like proteins and electrolytes

• As a result, the fungal cell collapses and dies before it can grow or reproduce

This contact effect occurs quickly upon application and is most effective when applied before the fungus penetrates the plant tissue.

2. Surface Activity – No Systemic Movement

Unlike systemic fungicides that move inside the plant, Dodine stays on the surface of leaves, fruit skins, and stems:

• Forms a protective barrier that blocks fungal spores from germinating

• Prevents initial infection during vulnerable stages (e.g., flowering, early fruit set)

• Reduces surface-level contamination, especially in high-value crops like apples and cucumbers

This makes Dodine especially useful when residue concerns or localized surface protection are priorities.

3. Preventive Focus with Fast Action

Dodine is not a curative fungicide—it does not heal existing infections inside the plant. However, its fast-kill effect on spores and mycelium makes it very effective for:

• Early season preventive sprays

• Routine protection intervals

• Use immediately after transplanting, especially in root-zone irrigation for vegetables

Because of its rapid action and short residual interval, Dodine is ideal for frequent-use schedules in crops with quick disease cycles or short harvest intervals.

4. Resistance Management Value

Dodine belongs to a unique chemical group (guanidine class), and its membrane-targeting mode is different from triazoles, strobilurins, and SDHIs. This allows it to be:

• Rotated with systemic fungicides to delay resistance development

• Combined with other actives in tank mixes or ready-mix formulations

• Used where pathogens show reduced sensitivity to common systemic fungicides

Its use helps build long-term sustainable disease control programs.

Clear and Practical Application Guidelines for Effective Use

Dodine fungicide is easy to apply and performs best when used as a preventive or early-stage spray. Because it is a contact-type fungicide, good coverage and timing are key to achieving the best disease control.

1. When to Apply

• Cucumber and Vegetable Crops:
  Apply at the time of transplanting or at the first visible signs of wilt or leaf disease.

  • Early root-zone protection is critical in cucumber production.

  • If symptoms persist, repeat after 7 days.

• Fruit Trees (Apples, Pears, Stone Fruits):
  Use Dodine during early leaf-out and pre-flowering stages to prevent scab, blight, or surface molds.

  • Apply before or during rainy or humid weather, when fungal pressure is high.

• Ornamental and Nursery Plants:
  Begin spraying at the first sign of leaf spots or mildew, and repeat at intervals of 7–10 days if needed.

2. Recommended Dosage and Spray Volume

• Dilution Rate (SC Formulations):

  • 40% SC or 50% SC: Use at 400–600 times dilution
    (Example: 15–25 ml per 10L water, depending on target crop and canopy size)

• Per Hectare Dosage:

  • Use 1.0 to 1.5 liters per hectare, diluted in 200–400 liters of water for full canopy coverage

• Root Irrigation for Cucumber:

  • Mix 40–50 ml of product in 15–20 liters of water

  • Apply directly to the base of each plant after transplanting

3. Application Frequency

• Apply every 7 days if disease pressure is moderate to high

• Do not apply more than 3 times per season

• Maintain a pre-harvest interval (PHI) of 2 days for vegetable crops

4. Application Best Practices

• Evening spraying is recommended for better absorption and minimal evaporation

• Avoid spraying:

  • During strong sunlight

  • When wind speed is high

  • When rain is expected within 1 hour

• Clean water must be used for mixing

• Do not mix with strong alkaline products or oils unless compatibility has been tested

Dodine is compatible with most conventional spray equipment and can be used in:

• Knapsack sprayers

• Boom sprayers

• Drip irrigation (for root zone application)

Proper timing and full coverage are essential to maximize its contact action and protect crops from early infection.
