Care

• Verified identity: IIL confirms the exact Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP formulation.
• Systemic and contact roles: the formulation combines an internally active MBC component with a multi-site surface protectant.
• Broad label crop range: IIL lists seven crop groups plus groundnut seed dressing.
• Defined FRAC groups: Group 1 and Group M03 can be considered when building a label-compliant resistance programme.
• Multiple store packs: the current Mana Agri Mart record has 20 g, 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg variants.

1. Carbendazim - FRAC 1: interferes with fungal beta-tubulin assembly and mitosis. FRAC classifies MBC fungicides as high resistance risk, so repeated dependence on the same group should be avoided.
2. Mancozeb - FRAC M03: acts at multiple sites and provides contact protection on treated plant surfaces.
3. Combined formulation: the premix provides systemic and contact activity only within the crop, disease, dose and timing scope stated on its label.

This conservative table retains only crop rows that also appear on IIL's current Care page. Use a row only if the current physical Care label lists the same crop and disease. Mancozeb is banned for use on guava, jowar and tapioca in India; those crops are not included here.

• Read the current Care pack and leaflet before opening or measuring the product.
• Use only the exact crop-specific product rate and water volume printed on that label. Do not derive a universal grams-per-litre, pump dose or acres-per-pack figure.
• As a WP formulation, Care normally requires careful pre-mixing in a small amount of water before dilution; follow the pack's mixing order and agitation instructions.
• Apply with suitable calibrated equipment and uniform coverage. Follow the label for weather limits, application stage and repeat-use restrictions.
• Observe the crop-specific PHI and re-entry period on the current Care label. Do not substitute a waiting period from another brand's formulation page.
• No tank mix, compatibility, layering or simultaneous-use recommendation is made here.

Carbendazim is FRAC Group 1, a high-resistance-risk MBC fungicide. Do not rely repeatedly on Care or another product containing a Group 1 active. When another treatment is justified, alternate with an effective, separately applied fungicide from a different FRAC group only when its own current Indian label covers the crop and diagnosed disease. A related Carbendazim + Mancozeb brand is a substitute comparison, not a rotation away from Groups 1 and M03.

Wear all PPE required by the Care label and avoid skin, eye and inhalation exposure while handling the powder or spray. Keep the product away from children, food and animal feed. Prevent spray, runoff, washings and empty packaging from entering ponds or other water bodies. The checked PPQS formulation label warns of aquatic toxicity and advises women of reproductive age to avoid contact. Always follow the current physical Care label for first aid, antidote information, storage and disposal.
