Description

G-GUARD 20 is a high-performance fungicide based on Validamycin 20% SL, known for its unique mode of action as an antibiotic that effectively suppresses fungal infections. It inhibits trehalase enzyme activity in pathogens, preventing their energy production and halting disease progression.

G-GUARD 20 is particularly effective in controlling Sheath Blight in paddy, a major yield-reducing disease. Its systemic and contact action helps protect the plant from both existing infections and potential outbreaks. With excellent crop compatibility and low phytotoxicity, G-GUARD 20 ensures stronger, healthier crops throughout the growing season.
