FAQ for VISION
What disease does VISION control?
VISION specifically controls Sheath Blight (Rhizoctonia solani) in rice — the most yield-reducing fungal disease of rice in India, causing characteristic lens-shaped lesions on rice sheaths and leaves.
How does Validamycin work against Sheath Blight?
Validamycin inhibits trehalase enzyme in Rhizoctonia solani, preventing the fungus from utilising trehalose as a carbon source, disrupting carbohydrate metabolism and hyphal growth in the pathogen.
Is VISION safe for rice plants?
Yes, VISION is produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus and has an excellent plant safety profile with very low phytotoxicity risk, making it safe to use on rice at all recommended growth stages.
When should VISION be applied for Sheath Blight management?
Apply VISION at early disease onset during tillering stage when Sheath Blight lesions first appear at the base of rice plants. Early application significantly reduces disease spread and yield loss.
Does VISION have any environmental benefits?
Yes, Validamycin in VISION is a biological-origin antibiotic fungicide with low environmental persistence and toxicity, making it an environmentally friendly option for Sheath Blight management in rice.
