• 🧪Identified formulation: WP: wettable powder provides the stated active-ingredient combination.
• 🔬Explained action: Carbendazim disrupts fungal cell division, while mancozeb acts at multiple biochemical sites.
• 🔄Resistance planning: FRAC 1 + M03 identifies the mode of action to consider when planning rotations.

Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

Carbendazim disrupts fungal cell division, while mancozeb acts at multiple biochemical sites.

1. Carbendazim affects cell division: FRAC 1 inhibits beta-tubulin assembly and normal mitosis.
2. Mancozeb supplies multi-site action: FRAC M03 acts at multiple biochemical sites.
3. Keep route and resistance checks: The mixture does not make foliar, drench and seed-treatment programmes interchangeable.

Avoid repeated reliance on the same FRAC mode of action. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different resistance group.

Target Crops & Diseases

The manufacturer lists the crops below. Disease pairings are supported by the identified Indian formulation reference and must match the current Care pack.

The groundnut seed row is a separate route, not a foliar instruction. Grape, mango, seed-treatment and drench recommendations require current Care label confirmation. Mancozeb is prohibited on guava, jowar and tapioca.

Dosage & Application Guide

The table is a qualified September 2025 CIBRC formulation reference, not a complete current Care label. Use it to check the pack, not to replace its directions.

Crop-wise Formulation Reference & Harvest Checks

Original September 2025 formulation references: paddy 750 g product/ha in 750 L water/ha; groundnut 500 g product/ha in 500 L water/ha. Approximate acre quantities are shown above. For potato, tea and chilli, only the unambiguous reference water and PHI are retained: potato 500 L/ha and 47 days; tea 250–500 L/ha and 7 days; chilli 500 L/ha and 3 days. Their product-rate units require confirmation.

Grape and mango rates are withheld: IIL gives 0.06%, while the historical formulation reference gives 0.15%. Groundnut seed-treatment quantities also lack a clear usable basis in the checked material. Obtain the current Care leaflet for those programmes. Do not infer a seed, drench or drone programme from a general mention. The historical grape and mango rows both specify a 7-day harvest interval and water according to crop canopy; those points remain reference information even though their product rates are withheld.

Confirm application method, equipment, crop-stage timing, repeat interval, maximum applications, compatibility, re-entry and harvest directions on the supplied pack. Do not infer a foliar, seed, drench or drone method from formulation alone.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Match crop and disease: Use the specific programme listed on the supplied Care pack.
• Check the full directions: Follow the label’s route, dose, water, equipment and crop-stage instructions; do not substitute a different brand’s programme.
• Plan resistance management: Consider all active ingredients and avoid repeated sole reliance on the same FRAC groups.
• Protect people and produce: Use label-specified protective equipment, prevent drift and water contamination, and observe re-entry and harvest restrictions.
