Ecllipse - Metalaxyl 8% + Mancozeb 64% WP - Mahindra Summit
Ecllipse Fungicide by Mahindra Summit
Ecllipse contains metalaxyl 8% + mancozeb 64% WP. Ecllipse combines metalaxyl and mancozeb. Metalaxyl interferes with ribosomal RNA synthesis, while mancozeb provides multisite contact activity.
Composition: metalaxyl 8% + mancozeb 64% WP.
Verified scope: The manufacturer’s crop-and-target pairings are listed below.
Before use: Confirm the product rate, water volume, method and waiting period on the supplied label.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🍇Downy-mildew scope: Grapes and pearl millet are separately listed.
- 🥔Potato target: The manufacturer names late blight.
- 🌿Mustard programme: White rust and Alternaria blight are included.
- 🌱Distinct nursery use: Tobacco nursery programmes are kept separate from field-crop rates.
- 🔄Two action groups: The mixture combines FRAC 4 and M03.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Ecllipse combines metalaxyl and mancozeb. Metalaxyl interferes with ribosomal RNA synthesis, while mancozeb provides multisite contact activity.
- Metalaxyl action: The phenylamide component inhibits ribosomal RNA synthesis.
- Mancozeb action: The protectant component acts at multiple biochemical sites.
- Combination use: The two components have different action groups, but label limits and resistance planning still apply.
Changing brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action. Follow a crop-specific resistance-management plan and all limits on repeat applications.
Target Crops & Diseases
Mahindra’s Ecllipse recommendation table names the following crop-and-target pairings.
| Crop | Target Disease(s) |
|---|---|
| Grapes |
|
| Tobacco nursery |
|
| Potato |
|
| Mustard |
|
| Black pepper |
|
| Pearl millet |
|
Each target belongs only to its listed crop. Do not extend these recommendations to unlisted crops or assume that every listed target applies to every crop.
Dosage & Application Guide
The explicit manufacturer mass rates below are retained only where the measuring basis is clear. A matching September 2026 government formulation entry supplies the separately marked water and waiting-period references; check the current Ecllipse pack before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product rate | Water volume | Method | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | 2500 g/ha | 500 L/ha* | Follow label | ≥49* |
| Tobacco A | Withheld† | Confirm label† | Follow label | ≥49* |
| Tobacco B | 2000 g/ha | 1000 L/ha* | See note† | ≥49* |
| Potato | 2500 g/ha | 1000 L/ha* | Follow label | ≥49* |
| Mustard | 2500 g/ha | 1000 L/ha* | Follow label | ≥56* |
| Black pepper | Withheld† | See note† | Spray / drench† | ≥147* |
| Pearl millet | 2000 g/ha | 500 L/ha* | Follow label | ≥49* |
†Tobacco A means tobacco nursery damping off; Tobacco B means tobacco nursery leaf blight / black shank. For Tobacco B, the manufacturer specifies drenching at sowing and spraying at 30 days after sowing (DAS). For black pepper, the manufacturer specifies 2 L of water per vine for spraying and 5 L per vine for soil drenching; these routes are not interchangeable. Tobacco damping-off mass, percentage and water entries do not reconcile to one recipe. Black-pepper mass-per-vine and percentage entries also need route-specific clarification. Those product instructions are withheld; no percentage-to-g/L conversion is inferred. The verified 2500 g/ha rate equals about 1012 g/acre, and 2000 g/ha equals about 809 g/acre. *Water and PHI marked with an asterisk are government formulation references, not a substitute for the current brand label. The ≥ symbol means at least: minimum intervals of 7, 8 and 21 weeks equal 49, 56 and 147 days respectively.
PHI means the interval between the last application and harvest. An unverified waiting period does not mean zero days.
Confirm crop stage, equipment, repeat interval, maximum applications, re-entry and weather restrictions. No universal per-litre or tank recipe is inferred.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the target: Check the full Ecllipse identity, crop and target against the supplied label.
- Measure correctly: Use the label’s explicit product unit and water volume; do not substitute a hectare quantity for an acre quantity.
- Follow the approved method: Use only the preparation, equipment and application route specified on the pack. Do not assume a tank mixture is permitted.
- Protect people and water: Wear the specified protective equipment and prevent drift or runoff into water and neighbouring crops.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is in Ecllipse?metalaxyl 8% + mancozeb 64% WP.
Is Ecllipse the same as metalaxyl-M mixtures?No. This product contains metalaxyl 8% plus mancozeb 64% WP. Metalaxyl-M mixtures differ and their rates or waiting periods must not be substituted.
Can I convert every listed percentage into grams per litre?No. The public table does not define all concentration bases, and tobacco damping-off figures are inconsistent. Use the current Ecllipse label, not a guessed tank recipe.
Are spraying and soil drenching interchangeable for black pepper?No. The manufacturer lists different water amounts per vine for the two routes. Confirm the exact product amount for each route before treatment.
Why are some waiting periods unusually long?The matching government entry states minimum intervals in weeks: 7 for grapes, tobacco, potato and pearl millet; 8 for mustard; 21 for black pepper. They are not 7, 8 or 21 days. Confirm the current pack.
