Protective and Systemic Fungicide Portfolio
Indofil is widely recognized for contact and broad-spectrum fungicides that form the backbone of fungal disease management in horticulture, fruits, and field crops. Leading products such as Indofil M-45 (Mancozeb 75% WP) and Indofil Z-78 (Zineb 75% WP) deliver multi-site protective action on plant surfaces.
The portfolio also includes dual-action combination fungicides such as Companion (Mancozeb 63% + Carbendazim 12% WP) and Avtar (Hexaconazole 4% + Mancozeb 71% WP), which combine preventive surface barriers with systemic curative penetration to manage complex leaf spots, blights, and powdery mildews.
- Indofil M-45 (Mancozeb 75% WP): Classic multi-site contact fungicide controlling downy mildew, late blight, and anthracnose.
- Indofil Z-78 (Zineb 75% WP): Zinc-based protective fungicide providing foliage protection along with plant zinc supplementation.
- Companion (Mancozeb + Carbendazim): Contact and systemic combination effective against seed-borne and foliar fungal pathogens.
- Avtar: Protective and curative triazole combination designed for powdery mildew and complex foliar diseases.
Insecticides, Herbicides, and Plant Health Formulations
In addition to fungicides, Indofil supplies insecticides covering sucking pests, lepidopteran larvae, and mites, as well as selective weedicides for field crops. These formulations are designed to support Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems across varied agro-climatic conditions.
Specialty plant nutrition formulations, including 100 percent water-soluble fertilizers and chelated micronutrients, support balanced crop nutrition during critical vegetative, flowering, and fruit-filling developmental windows.
- Acaricides and Insecticides: Targeted solutions for mite control, caterpillars, and chewing insect pests.
- Selective Herbicides: Formulations for early post-emergence weed management in pulses, oilseeds, and cereals.
- Specialty Nutrition: Foliar micronutrient mixtures and water-soluble NPK grades for fertigation and spraying.
Application Safety and Spray Management
Effective crop protection depends on timely prophylactic spraying before fungal spore establishment. Always calibrate sprayers to achieve thorough coverage of both upper and lower leaf surfaces using hollow-cone nozzles.
Follow statutory product label directions regarding dilution water volume, compatible tank mixtures, and pre-harvest intervals. Protective gear, including face masks, gloves, and rubber boots, should be worn during all chemical mixing and application activities.
- Preventive Timing: Apply protective fungicides before visible disease symptoms develop under warm, humid conditions.
- Tank Mixing Caution: Conduct jar tests before combining fungicides with foliar fertilizers or insecticides.
- Operator Safety: Avoid spraying against the wind and thoroughly clean spray machinery after each operation.

Common questions
What is Indofil M-45 fungicide used for in agriculture?
Indofil M-45 contains Mancozeb 75% WP, a multi-site contact fungicide used to prevent a broad spectrum of fungal diseases including early blight, late blight, downy mildew, and anthracnose across fruits, vegetables, and field crops.
How does Companion fungicide differ from Indofil M-45?
While Indofil M-45 is purely a contact protectant, Companion combines Mancozeb (contact) with Carbendazim (systemic), providing both a surface protective barrier and internal curative action against established fungal mycelia.
Can Indofil contact fungicides be mixed with systemic products?
Yes, contact fungicides like Mancozeb are frequently tank-mixed or pre-formulated with systemic fungicides to broaden the disease spectrum and prevent the development of fungal resistance.
Where can farmers find certified usage recommendations for Indofil products?
Certified application guidelines, crop labels, and safety directions can be found on individual product containers or on the official CIBRC portal.
