Description

Adama Custodia Prime: The Broad-Spectrum Defender

Azoxystrobin 11% + Tebuconazole 18.3% w/w SC

Prevent. Cure. Revitalize.

Adama Custodia Prime is a powerful, dual-action fungicide that combines the strengths of two leading chemical classes: Strobilurins (Azoxystrobin) and Triazoles (Tebuconazole). This combination offers "Broad Spectrum" control, meaning it handles a massive variety of fungal diseases in one spray.

While Tebuconazole works deep inside the plant to cure existing infections (Systemic), Azoxystrobin sits on the surface and moves systematically to prevent new spores from germinating. Additionally, the Azoxystrobin component provides a strong "Phytotonic Effect" (Greening), keeping leaves lush and green for longer, which directly boosts yield.

Why Choose Adama Custodia Prime?

• 🔄 Dual Mode of Action:

  • Azoxystrobin: Inhibits fungal respiration (stops energy production) and prevents spore germination.

  • Tebuconazole: Inhibits cell wall synthesis (stops growth) and cleans up established infections.

• 🛡️ Complete Protection:

  Works at all stages of the fungal lifecycle: Spore Germination, Mycelial Growth, and Sporulation.

• 🌿 The "Greening" Effect:

  Improves nitrogen absorption and reduces plant stress, resulting in greener, healthier leaves even after the disease is gone.

• 🌾 Yield Booster:

  By delaying leaf aging (senescence), it allows the plant to photosynthesize for more days, filling grains and fruits better (especially in Wheat and Paddy).

• 🌧️ Rainfastness:

  Good rainfastness; it absorbs quickly into the waxy layers of the plant.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: How is Custodia different from Bayer Native?

A: Native contains Tebuconazole + Trifloxystrobin. Custodia contains Tebuconazole + Azoxystrobin. Both are excellent, but Azoxystrobin is often preferred for its strong "greening" and anti-stress properties, especially in vegetables and cereals.

Q2: Can I use it on Onion for Purple Blotch?

A: Yes, Custodia is one of the top recommendations for Purple Blotch in Onion. It stops the spreading rings and keeps the leaves green.

Q3: Is it effective for Rice Sheath Blight?

A: Absolutely. It is a standard solution for Sheath Blight and "Dirty Panicle" in Paddy. It ensures the rice grains come out bright and shiny.

Q4: Can I mix it with insecticides?

A: Yes, it is compatible with most common insecticides like Acetamiprid or Emamectin. However, always perform a small jar test first.

Q5: Will it cure Downy Mildew?

A: It has some suppression effect, but it is NOT a specialist for Downy Mildew. For severe Downy Mildew, use Metalaxyl (Glazer) or Cymoxanil. Custodia is the king of Powdery Mildew, Blights, and Anthracnose.
