Tebuconazole Emulsifiable Concentrate (EC) is a liquid fungicide formulation in which the active ingredient tebuconazole is dissolved in an organic solvent together with emulsifiers.
When mixed with water, the formulation forms a stable oil-in-water emulsion, making it easy to apply through conventional spraying equipment.

Tebuconazole is a systemic triazole fungicide classified under FRAC Group 3 (Demethylation Inhibitors – DMI).
It is widely used for controlling a broad range of fungal diseases affecting cereals, fruits, vegetables, oilseeds, and ornamentals.
