Core active ingredient segments
- Fungicides: Formulations containing mancozeb (dithiocarbamate multi-site protectant), azoxystrobin, and tebuconazole for controlling foliar and soil-borne diseases.
- Insecticides: Active ingredients including acephate, chlorpyrifos, bifenthrin, and flonicamid for chewing and sucking pest management.
- Herbicides: Pre-emergence and post-emergence weed control products based on pendimethalin, quizalofop-ethyl, and imazethapyr.
- Bio-solutions: Biological stimulants, mycorrhizal inoculants, and soil conditioners to improve nutrient uptake.
Safe application and spray stewardship
Every chemical formulation must be applied strictly according to the CIBRC approved label specifications. Calibrate spray equipment, wear protective respirators, gloves, and aprons, and never apply agrochemicals against wind directions or directly near water bodies.
Resistance prevention through rotation
To prevent resistant weed and pest populations, farmers should avoid repetitive applications of the same mode of action. Rotate single-site systemic fungicides with multi-site contact products like mancozeb to preserve long-term chemical efficacy.

Common questions
What are UPL's flagship fungicide active ingredients?
Key fungicide active ingredients include mancozeb, copper oxychloride, azoxystrobin, and tebuconazole.
How can farmers prevent herbicide resistance?
By rotating herbicides with different HRAC modes of action and integrating mechanical and cultural weed control practices.
Where can farmers verify approved crop label recommendations?
Official approved crop, dose, and safety data are published by CIBRC on the PPQS portal (ppqs.gov.in).
