Albaugh launches its first patented fungicide in India, a two-ingredient mix for paddy — Crops

Albaugh India Private Limited has launched TANDEM, which the company says is its first patented fungicide in India. It is registered for use in paddy.

The product contains carbendazim 11.57% and tebuconazole 11.57% w/w as a suspension concentrate, combining two active ingredients with different modes of action. Carbendazim, in FRAC Group 1, interferes with fungal cell division, while tebuconazole, a triazole, blocks ergosterol biosynthesis and so the development of the fungal cell membrane. Together they are meant to give broad-spectrum control of fungal diseases.

Albaugh recommends a foliar spray in paddy at 320 mL per acre, mixed with 200 litres of water per acre.

"With its dual mode of action, TANDEM delivers effective broad-spectrum fungal disease management, enabling growers to achieve improved crop productivity," said Gopesh Pant, India head of commercial and strategic marketing at Albaugh India.
