How It Works: Mode of Action
Benofit combines propineb and cymoxanil. Their action groups differ, but the mixture does not remove the need for resistance management.
- Propineb acts at several sites: Its multi-site contact activity interferes with several processes in susceptible disease-causing organisms.
- Cymoxanil contributes a second ingredient: It belongs to FRAC Group 27. Its precise biochemical target remains uncertain.
- Match treatment to the disease: Use the complete label programme and crop monitoring. Do not assume the product controls every disease or restores already damaged tissue.
Rotate fungicides according to crop-specific advice. Avoid repeatedly relying on products with the same action groups, even when their brand names differ.
Target Crops & Diseases
The following crop-and-disease pairings are supported for this Coromandel formulation. Confirm the intended use on the supplied Benofit label.

Dosage & Application Guide
These are qualified references for propineb 70% + cymoxanil 6% WP, not complete current Benofit label directions. Confirm application method, timing and the relevant harvest precautions on the supplied pack.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | 809–911* | 202* | See note* | 10* |
| Potato | 809–911* | 202* | See note* | See label |
Original formulation references: grapes, downy mildew and anthracnose, 2000–2250 g/ha in 500 L water/ha, waiting period 10 days; potato, early and late blight, 2000–2250 g/ha in 500 L water/ha. Acre figures are approximate conversions.
*Formulation-reference quantities only, not confirmation of a complete current Benofit label programme. A clear numerical potato harvest interval is not supplied here; confirm it with the current pack directions before treatment.
Do not treat an unconfirmed harvest interval as zero days. No separate per-litre or tank dose is given. Method, timing, repeat intervals, maximum applications, rainfast time and field-entry precautions must come from the supplied label.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and disease: Check the grape or potato disease against the supplied label. Similar-looking symptoms may need a different treatment.
- Follow the full pack programme: Use its product quantity, water volume, mixing sequence, equipment, application method and timing. This reference table alone is not a spray programme.
- Check mixtures and rotation: Do not assume compatibility with another pesticide, fertiliser or additive. Follow the labels and a suitable resistance-management plan.
- Resolve harvest directions first: Confirm the potato harvest interval before use. Keep treatment records and follow the crop-specific harvest and field-entry precautions.
