Batista is a Broad Spectrum Systemic fungicide with protective and curative action

2. Systemics
• Local Systemic
– Local
redistribution
from the point of
deposition
– On the cuticle
– Through the leaf
(translaminar)
– Extent is variable

3. Systemics
• Limited systemic
(acropetal penetrant)
– Good movement from
the point of application
– Through tissues
– Inside the vasculature
– Bulk movement
– DMIs, Phenylamides

4. Systemics
• True Systemics
(Basipetal penetrant)
– Moves through plant
– Down into roots
– Good against soil-
borne oomycetes
– Fosetyl-Al

5. Batista – Key Talking Points
• Batista is a Broad Spectrum Systemic
fungicide with protective and curative
action
• It is absorbed through the roots and green
tissues with translocation acropetally
[upward] to plant parts
• Batista used for control of external and
internal fungal disease as well as soil borne
fungi on a wide range of crops.

6. Introduction(cont.)
• 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 lasting stable water
dispersible suspension.
• Batista is found very effective as preventive
/ prophylactic foliar spray
• Batista is water based formulation there by it
is eco-friendly in nature

7. Method of Preparation for
Application
• Shake the bottle vigorously for 2 - 5 minutes to form a
homogeneous mixture before dilution.
• Batista disperses in water instantly and does not allow the
spray solution to settle down for a longer period there by no
frequent agitation is required during the spray
• The prepared mixture should be sprayed within 30-40 minutes
after preparing the mixture. If the spraying period is longer
then stir the solution at an interval of every 40-45 minutes.
• Preferably spray in early morning. Batista when sprayed
forms a thin film covering on the total exposed area of plant
parts.

8. Method of Preparation for
Application(cont.)
• It provides a much better protection against
fungus infection than dusting or spraying with
powder formulations, as it stays on plants for
longer period as a fine film
• Batista is very effective in adverse climatic
conditions reduces surface runoff and provides
uniform coverage over the foliages with
enhanced stability & penetration

11. Seed Dressing / Treatment
• Mix the seeds with the required amount of
BATISTA 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 rice, vegetables,
oilseeds, pulses, etc.

12. Broadcasting
• Mix the required amount of Batista with sand
and then broadcast it in the field.
• Process is Commonly called ‘Chitta’

13. 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, flower beds, etc.

14. 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 field, calculate the number of
spray tanks needed. In a bucket, take recommended
amount of BATISTA
• Note: The first spray should be given as soon as
the first symptoms of disease are noticed, or even
a little earlier. If the disease continues, give
further sprays at intervals of 10-15 days.

15. Seedling Dip
• 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.

16. 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.
