Active composition and dual protective-systemic action
- Active ingredients: Mancozeb 50% (contact, FRAC Group M03) + Carbendazim 25% WS/WP (systemic, FRAC Group 1).
- Dual mechanism: Mancozeb forms an external multi-site biochemical barrier against spore germination, while Carbendazim enters plant tissue to arrest fungal mitosis.
- Seed treatment excellence: Provides unmatched protection to germinating seedlings against soil and seed-borne pathogens, ensuring uniform plant stand.
- Nutrient boost: Contains essential zinc and manganese micronutrients that promote seedling vigor and greening.
Approved target diseases and crop recommendations
- Groundnut: Controls collar rot (Aspergillus niger), root rot, and early/late leaf spot (Tikka).
- Potato: Prevents seed-piece decay, black scurf, and early blight through seed tuber treatment.
- Chilli and Vegetables: Protects nurseries against damping-off, collar rot, and anthracnose fruit rot.
- Soybean and Pulses: Manages seedling rot, charcoal rot, and foliar blights.
- Turf and Plantations: Effective against dollar spot, leaf spots, and soil root rot complexes.
Application techniques, seed treatment, and spray guidelines
- Dry/wet seed dressing: Treat seeds at 2 to 3 grams per kilogram of seed; ensure uniform coating and shade-dry before sowing.
- Foliar spraying: Dilute per CIB&RC approved label instructions (typically 1.5 to 2 grams per litre of water) in 150 to 200 litres per acre.
- Soil drenching: Drench vegetable nursery beds with prepared solution to eliminate soil-borne damping-off fungi.
- Safety instructions: Wear protective gloves and a dust mask; do not use treated seeds for human or animal consumption.
