Rakshak is applied through soil drenching or drip irrigation. After application, it is absorbed by the roots and reaches the rhizome zone, supporting protection where infection-related damage commonly begins.

Its uniform movement in the wetted bed helps cover the active root and rhizome area. This makes it useful for managing existing infection pressure and for preventive use in fields where rhizome rot is a recurring concern.

• Specially developed for rhizome rot management in ginger and turmeric
• Supports management of fungal and bacterial infection pressure in the rhizome zone
• Useful for symptoms such as shoot yellowing, root damage, and rhizome rot conditions
• Absorbed through roots and works towards the rhizome zone
• Can be applied through soil drenching or drip irrigation
• Suitable for use on affected plants as well as preventive application
• Helps ensure crop protection support across the complete bed when applied correctly
• Particularly useful in fields with a history of rhizome rot problems
• Can also be used for tuber crops vulnerable to soil-borne rot conditions
• Repeat application every 20–25 days helps maintain protection during risk periods

• Ginger
• Turmeric
• Potato
• Sweet potato
• Other rhizome and tuber crops affected by soil-borne rot conditions

For affected plants — soil drenching

Mix 100 ml Rakshak in 20 litres of water and drench the soil around affected plants and the rhizome zone.

For severe infestation — drip irrigation

Apply 2 litres Rakshak per acre through drip irrigation.

For better coverage, wet the complete bed first and then apply Rakshak through drip irrigation with sufficient water so that it reaches the entire root and rhizome zone.

Repeat application

Repeat the application at an interval of 20–25 days for continued crop protection support, especially in rot-prone fields.

Proprietary root-zone application formulation developed to support management of fungal and bacterial rhizome rot conditions.
