Description
-
Active Ingredients:
-
Cymoxanil 8% w/w (cyanoacetamide oxime) – local systemic with anti-sporulation action
-
Mancozeb 64% w/w (dithiocarbamate) – contact, residual fungicide that inhibits spore germination
-
-
Formulation:
-
Wettable Powder (WP)
-
Disease Control Targets
-
Effective against early & late blights (potato & tomato), downy mildew (on onions, cucurbits, roses), purple blotch (on onion), anthracnose (beans), and angular leaf spot (French beans)
Modes of Action (Dual Mechanism)
-
Contact Protection: Forms a protective barrier on leaves, preventing fungal entry
-
Translaminar & Local Systemic Activity: Penetrates leaf tissue to reach both surfaces, enhancing protection
-
Curative Action: Cymoxanil acts locally to limit sporulation post-infection
Rainfast & Residual Action
-
Becomes rainfast within 2–3 hours and has lasting efficacy even after light showers
🛡 Additional Benefits
-
Induces plant defenses: Promotes wall thickening near infection sites for structural protection
-
Micronutrient boost: Includes manganese and zinc that support plant vigor and greening
-
Residual control: Provides long-duration fungal protection without frequent re-spraying, even in wet conditions
Usage & Dosage
-
Rate: 40 g per 20 L water (≈2 kg/ha)
-
Spray Interval: Every 7–12 days; during high disease pressure, more frequent application (every 7–10 days)
-
Pre-harvest Interval: Minimum 10 days before harvest
⚠ Safety & Compatibility
-
Generally non-phytotoxic when used as directed
-
Compatible with standard insecticides and fungicides; avoid mixing with alkaline products
