2. Protective And Curative Action
It absorbed through the roots and green tissues
with translocation acropetally [upward] to plant parts.
Batista used for control of externally and internally
fungal disease as well as soil borne fungi on a wide
range of crops.
Batista is found very effective under
prophylctic foliar spray application.
preventive/
3. Protective And Curative Action
Batista is a Suspension Concentrate [SC] or Flowables
in which the solid active ingredient is dispersed in
a liquid together with additives to form a lastingly
stable water dispersible .
Batista is water based formulation there by
it is ecofriendly in nature.
4. Method of Preparation for Application
Shake the bottle vigorously for 2 - 5 minutes to form a homogeneous
mixture before dilution. Batista having instant dispersion when it
adds to water and does not allow the spray solution to settle down
for a longer period, there by no frequent agitation required during
the spray .
The prepared mixture should be sprayed within 30-40nminutes after
preparing the mixture. If the spraying period is longer then stir the
solution at an interval of every 30-40 minutes..
Preferably spray in early morning. Batista when sprayed forms a
thin lm covering on the total exposed area of plant parts..
5. Method of Preparation for Application
Thus it provides a much better protection against fungus infestation
than dusting or spraying with powder formulations, as it stays on
plants for longer period as a ne lm.
Batista is very effective in adverse climatic conditions reduces
surface runoff and provides uniform coverage over the foliages
with enhanced stability & penetration

8. Diseases In Different Crops (Fruits)
Grapes
Powdery mildew, also known as oidium, is caused by the fungus Uncinula
necator. The powdery mildew fungus overwinters as cleistothecia (tiny, round,
black fruiting bodies), in bark, on canes, leftover fruit, and on leaves on the
ground Spores (ascospores) from the overwintering cleistothecia are released
in the spring after a rainfall of at least 2.5 mm. For primary infection to occur
the spores require at least 12-15 hours of continuous wetness at 10-15 to
infect developing plant tissue.
9. Diseases In Different Crops (Fruits)
Mango
Powdery mildew, also known as oidium , Oidium mangiferae attacks the young
tissue of all parts of the inorescence, leaves and fruit. Infection shows initially
as small patches of white powdery mycelium, which may later coalesce to cover
large areas. On older leaves and fruit, infected tissue has a purplish-brown cast as
the white growth weathers away
10. Methods Of Application
Foliar Spray
Mix little water to the recommended dose of BATISTA and make slurry.
Add remaining recommended quantity of water and spray uniformly with
proper coverage of the plants.
Stock solution: On basis of the water requirement for the spraying per
acre of eld, calculate the number of spray tanks needed. In a bucket,
take recommended amount of BATISTA
Note: The rst spray should be given as soon as the rst symptoms of
disease are noticed, or even a little earlier. If the disease continues,
give further sprays at intervals of 10-15 days.
11. Methods Of Application
Seedling Dip
Post-Harvest Treatment of Fruits
Prepare a suspension of BATISTA in water and dip the fruits for
half to one minute. Dry the fruits in shade. The fruits can be also
sprayed or drenched instead of dipping. Post-harvest treatment
of fruits is recommended against storage rots.
Seedling dip is recommended against some root diseases and soil
infections. Prepare a suspension by mixing the required amount of
BATISTA in suitable volume of water.
Dip the roots of seedlings for 10 - 30 minutes in this suspension shortly
before transplanting. Alternatively, slurry of BATISTA with mud can be
prepared and the roots of seedlings smeared.
12. Methods Of Application
Seed Dressing / Treatment
Mix the seeds with the required amount of BATISTA either dry or after
making a paste/slurry with small amount of water.
For treatment of Potato tubers and Sugarcane sets, prepare a suspension
of BATISTA in water and soak them for some time. Seed dressing is
recommended against seed-borne diseases in vegetables, oilseeds,
pulses, etc.
Soil Drench
Prepare a suspension of BATISTA in water and apply with watering-can
(rose-can)
Soil drench is an expensive treatment and is recommended only for
controlling soil-borne diseases in nurseries, ower beds, etc.
