Active technical content and dual synergistic action
Tata Taqat combines two distinct modes of action to manage fungal pathogens effectively.
Technical breakdown of constituents:
- Captan (70% WP): Phthalimide multi-site contact fungicide (FRAC Group M04) that deactivates sulphydryl groups in fungal enzymes, halting spore germination.
- Hexaconazole (5% WP): Systemic triazole fungicide (FRAC Group 3) that halts ergosterol biosynthesis, preventing fungal mycelium expansion inside leaf tissue.
- Preventive and curative efficacy: Captan provides durable external barrier defense, while Hexaconazole moves internally to eradicate established infections.
- Broad spectrum control: Effective against Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, and Deuteromycetes fungal classes.
- Anti-resistance design: The multi-site action of Captan prevents fungi from developing resistance against the triazole component.
Target diseases across agricultural and horticultural crops
Tata Taqat is approved by the Central Insecticides Board for destructive fungal diseases:
Primary target spectrum:
- Chilli: Fruit rot (anthracnose dieback / Colletotrichum capsici) and powdery mildew.
- Tomato and Potato: Early blight (Alternaria solani) and late blight suppression.
- Apple: Apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) and powdery mildew.
- Groundnut: Tikka leaf spot and collar rot.
- Vegetables: Damping-off and leaf spot complexes.
Application instructions, dosage and precautions
Apply Tata Taqat at approved CIBRC label rates (typically 2 grams per litre of water or 400 to 500 grams per acre in 200 litres of clean water). Prepare a smooth pre-slurry in a separate container before adding to the full spray tank. Ensure uniform foliage wetting, wear rubber gloves and protective face masks, avoid spraying in strong wind, and strictly follow recommended pre-harvest intervals.

Common questions
What is the technical composition of Tata Taqat fungicide?
Tata Taqat contains Captan 70% plus Hexaconazole 5% WP.
How does Tata Taqat prevent fungicide resistance in plant pathogens?
Captan acts on multiple fungal enzyme sites simultaneously, preventing pathogens from developing resistance against the systemic Hexaconazole active.
Which crops are officially registered for Tata Taqat application?
It is officially registered for chilli (anthracnose fruit rot), tomato, potato, apple (scab), and groundnut.
