Product details
Hexadhan Plus Fungicide | Hexaconazole 5% SC
A systemic fungicide for powdery mildew in mango and grapes, and sheath blight in rice.
What it controls: A systemic fungicide for powdery mildew in mango and grapes, and sheath blight in rice.
When to use it: The manufacturer’s spray programme begins when disease symptoms appear; confirm the current crop label before treatment.
What to include: Check the crop-specific dose, application method, water volume and harvest interval before treatment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🎯Defined disease targets: The brand identifies powdery mildew in mango and grapes and sheath blight in rice. These crop–disease pairings are more useful than a general claim to control all fungal diseases.
- 🍃Movement across treated leaves: Dhanuka describes translaminar movement, meaning movement through the treated leaf. Correct spray coverage is still needed.
- 🛡️Protective and early curative action: The active ingredient can help protect against disease and limit susceptible fungal growth after infection begins. It does not restore tissue already damaged by disease.
- 🌿Helps limit further spore formation: Dhanuka describes antisporulant activity. This means reducing production of fungal spores that can contribute to further disease spread.
- 🔎One resistance group to track: Hexaconazole is a Group 3 fungicide. Changing to another Group 3 brand does not create a different mode of action in a rotation.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Hexadhan Plus contains hexaconazole, a systemic triazole fungicide. It limits fungal growth by interfering with the material fungi need to build normal cell membranes.
- The treatment enters the plant: After the labelled crop spray, the active ingredient is absorbed and can move through treated leaf tissue. Do not infer unlisted soil or seed-treatment uses from systemic movement.
- Fungal membrane production is disrupted: Hexaconazole blocks a step in production of ergosterol, an important part of fungal cell membranes. Without normal membranes, susceptible fungi cannot develop normally.
- Disease development is limited: Growth and spore production can be reduced. Timely application and correct diagnosis remain important; the treatment is not a guarantee of recovery from severe disease.
Use the FRAC group information to plan resistance management with qualified crop advice. A different brand with the same mode of action is not a different resistance-management option.

Dosage & Application Guide
Dhanuka’s product guidance gives mango and rice rates as spray concentrations and the grape rate as product per acre. Confirm the full programme on the current pack leaflet before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (ml / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (ml / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mango | See note* | See note* | 2 ml/L Original: 200 ml/100 L |
See note* |
| Rice | See note* | See note* | 2 ml/L Original: 200 ml/100 L |
See note* |
| Grapes | 200–400 ml | See note* | See note* | See note* |
Dhanuka’s programme starts when disease symptoms appear and mentions a 7–10-day repeat interval. Confirm whether a repeat is needed and permitted by the current crop label. This interval is not a harvest restriction.
*Water per acre and crop-specific harvest intervals are not supplied here. Obtain them from the current label before treatment. A concentration is not a fixed acre dose.
For mango powdery mildew and rice sheath blight, 200 ml in 100 L water (0.2%) equals 2 ml/L. Total product depends on the labelled water coverage. The separate grape rate is for powdery mildew; do not transfer it to mango or rice.
No numerical worker-entry period, maximum application count, rainfast period or blanket tank-mix approval is provided here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the disease: Confirm powdery mildew or sheath blight in the corresponding listed crop. Different causes of white growth or leaf damage may need different management.
- Check the whole label: Confirm the crop, method, water volume, harvest interval and permitted number of applications before treatment.
- Keep the dose basis correct: Use the mango/rice concentration or grape area rate as applicable. Do not assume a fixed water amount or that one pack treats one acre.
- Use suitable spray coverage: Calibrate the sprayer and prepare the product exactly as directed on the pack. Avoid drift onto neighbouring crops and prevent runoff.
- Review and record: Record the crop and date. Check disease development before a further treatment and use a resistance plan that accounts for FRAC Group 3.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does Hexadhan Plus control?The listed uses are powdery mildew in mango and grapes, and sheath blight in rice. Match the diagnosed disease to the crop and the current pack label.
2. Why are mango and rice not given an acre dose?The manufacturer gives 0.2%, written as 200 ml per 100 L water, rather than a complete product-and-water programme per acre. This equals 2 ml/L, but the total product per acre depends on label-supported water coverage.
3. Is the grape dose the same as the mango concentration?No. The official page gives grapes 200–400 ml/acre, while mango is given as a concentration. Do not compare or interchange them without the crop’s water and application directions.
4. Can I add a sticker or another fungicide?Check the current labels and qualified crop advice before adding a sticker, adjuvant or another pesticide. Do not assume every mixture is suitable.
5. Does 7–10 days mean I can harvest then?No. That is the manufacturer-page repeat-spray interval, not a PHI. The crop-specific time from final application to harvest must be obtained from the current pack, along with worker-entry restrictions.
