SKUAST recommends Best Agrolife fungicide Tricolor for Kashmir apple orchards

Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir29 Sept 2026

Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST) recommended Best Agrolife Ltd’s patented fungicide Tricolor for use in apple cultivation in Kashmir, based on three years of university field trials, according to the company. The company said the trials found the fungicide effective against Alternaria leaf spot, blight, powdery mildew and scab, with advised application at petal-fall and during the second stage of fruit development.

Why it matters

A university-backed recommendation can influence on-farm disease management in a major apple-growing region, potentially reducing fungal-related yield and quality losses when adopted by growers.
