Dhanuka Agritech launches Fujita systemic fungicide to combat rice blast in paddy

New product strengthens Dhanuka’s paddy portfolio with preventive and curative control of leaf and neck blast

Dhanuka Agritech Limited, a prominent Indian agrochemical company, has introduced Fujita, a premium systemic fungicide designed to combat rice blast (Pyricularia oryzae). This disease is a major fungal threat to paddy cultivation, often causing extensive damage to crops.

Formulated with Isoprothiolane 40% EC, Fujita offers both preventive and curative action by circulating through the plant's roots and foliage to restrict fungal growth.

Commenting on the launch of Fujita, the management of Dhanuka Agritech Limited stated, “Rice blast is an important disease in paddy cultivation, and effective disease management plays an important role in maintaining crop health and protecting yield potential. Fujita is designed to provide systemic protection against rice blast and support effective disease management. Through products such as Fujita, we continue to expand our crop protection portfolio to address key crop health challenges in Indian agriculture.”

With Fujita, Dhanuka Agritech further strengthens its range of paddy solutions, addressing one of the most pressing challenges faced by rice farmers. The launch reflects the company’s focus on technology-led crop protection that helps farmers act on time and secure healthier crops and better harvests.
