Wettable Powder Dodine is an agricultural fungicide formulation in which the active ingredient Dodine (a guanidine-based fungicide) is processed into a dry, finely milled powder that can be mixed with water to form a spray suspension.

Dodine is known for its protective and curative activity against several fungal diseases, especially in fruit crops such as apples, pears, and stone fruits.

In the wettable powder (WP) form, Dodine is blended with:

• inert carriers,

• dispersing agents, and

• wetting agents,

to ensure the powder disperses uniformly when added to water and adheres well to plant surfaces.
