Flumax 60% EC

Flumax 60% EC – The Elite Solution for Onion and Potato Growers

Flumax 60% EC by Agpharma is a high-potency fungicide specifically engineered to tackle the most devastating fungal threats in Pakistan. By combining Fluazinam (40%) and Metalaxyl-M (20%), Flumax provides a “double-lock” security system. Fluazinam stays on the surface to kill fungal spores before they enter, while Metalaxyl-M moves systemically through the plant’s xylem to cure internal infections and protect new growth.

Why Flumax 60% EC is a Must-Have:

• Advanced Spore Inhibition: Fluazinam disrupts the energy production of fungal cells, stopping spore germination instantly.
• Superior Root & Stem Protection: The Metalaxyl-M component is highly soluble, allowing it to be absorbed by roots and stems to fight soil-borne pathogens like Phytophthora.
• Weather Resilience: Its EC formulation ensures rapid penetration into the leaf wax, making it rainfast within 2 hours.
• Yield Booster: By keeping the foliage clean and healthy, Flumax ensures the plant can maximize photosynthesis, resulting in larger bulbs (Onions) and tubers (Potatoes).

Target Diseases:

• Onion & Garlic: Downy Mildew, White Rot, Purple Blotch.
• Potato & Tomato: Late Blight (Pichaiti Jhulsa) and Early Blight.
• Melons: Gummy Stem Blight and Downy Mildew.

Recommended Dosage & Application

Expert Tip: For Onion Downy Mildew, start spraying Flumax when the humidity is high or at the first appearance of “downy” growth on leaves. Always use a high-pressure nozzle for thorough coverage of the dense onion canopy. Technical support provided by PARC.

Expert Questions & Answers

Q: Is Flumax better than Ridomil Gold?
A: Flumax contains Fluazinam, which has a broader spectrum of action against certain soil-borne pathogens and Botrytis compared to the Mancozeb found in Ridomil. It is an excellent rotation partner to prevent resistance.

Q: Can Flumax be used as a soil drench?
A: Yes, because of the systemic nature of Metalaxyl-M, it is highly effective when applied as a drench for root rot and damping-off in nurseries.

Q: What is the benefit of the 60% concentration?
A: The high concentration means you need less liquid per acre, reducing transport costs and ensuring a more “punchy” response against aggressive disease outbreaks.

Q: Can I mix Flumax with other insecticides?
A: It is generally compatible with most pesticides. However, always perform a small “jar test” before mixing a full tank.”
