-
🛡️Preventive action: Can help protect against the specified susceptible fungal diseases.
-
🎯Curative activity: Also acts against susceptible fungal infection; it does not restore already damaged tissue.
-
🍇Several disease uses: The grape listing covers powdery mildew, anthracnose and rust.
-

How It Works: Mode of Action
Hexastop is a systemic fungicide. Its active ingredient interferes with fungal cell division.
-
Movement within the plant: The fungicide moves through water-carrying tissue.
-
Fungal growth is disrupted: Thiophanate-methyl interferes with structures needed for fungal cell division.
-
Disease development is checked: Susceptible fungi are controlled when the product is used for the right crop and disease under its label directions.
FRAC Group 1 has a high resistance risk. Repeatedly changing between brands with this same group is not an effective mode-of-action rotation.
Target Crops & Diseases
The following four crop uses are listed by Coromandel. Confirm each use on the current supplied label.
| Crop |
Target Disease(s) |
|---|---|
| Papaya |
|
| Apple |
|
| B. gourd |
|
| Grapes |
|
B. gourd means bottle gourd. Do not extend the grape listing to downy mildew or add other crops from a different thiophanate-methyl product.
Dosage & Application Guide
Numerical application programmes are withheld because manufacturer quantities and separate formulation references do not establish complete current Hexastop directions with matching crop-and-disease conditions, application route, carrier and harvest requirements. Verify these together on the supplied label before treatment.
Keep papaya powdery mildew, apple scab, bottle-gourd anthracnose and the three listed grape diseases paired with their own complete current label programmes. Do not transfer product quantities, carrier requirements or harvest intervals between crops.
The manufacturer booklet limits the authority of its recommendations and is not the supplied current label. Do not merge differently rounded manufacturer and generic formulation quantities or select the shortest end of a historical harvest-interval range without current pack directions. An unknown interval does not permit immediate harvest.
No per-litre or tank rate is derived. Confirm application method, timing, repeats, maximum applications, rainfast time and field-entry interval on the current label. General references to seed dressing or drenching do not establish a programme for these rows.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Identify the crop and disease: Match the diagnosis to the crop table; this fungicide is not an insecticide.
-
Confirm the application route: Use only the current label’s crop-specific method. Do not turn a general seed-treatment or drenching claim into an area-based spray direction.
-
Prepare as directed: Follow the pack’s mixing sequence, water quantity and equipment instructions. Do not mix with alkaline materials.
-
Protect harvest and future control: Observe the crop’s confirmed waiting period and field-entry precautions. Follow a suitable resistance-management plan rather than repeatedly relying on Group 1.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Hexastop contain?
It contains thiophanate-methyl 70% WP, a wettable-powder fungicide.
Which crop uses are covered?
Papaya powdery mildew, apple scab, bottle gourd anthracnose, and grape powdery mildew, anthracnose and rust, subject to the current label.
Is Hexastop a contact-only fungicide?
No. Coromandel describes it as systemic, moving through the plant’s water-carrying tissue.
Do the crop listings establish seed-dressing or drenching programmes?
No. The general manufacturer description mentions those methods but does not pair a complete programme with these crop rows. Use only explicit current label directions for the intended route.
Can it be mixed with alkaline materials?
No. Coromandel states that Hexastop is incompatible with alkaline materials. Other mixtures also need current label support.
Safety & Disclaimer
Before you use it, read the supplied label and leaflet. Use only for the stated crop, target, dose, application conditions, waiting periods and precautions. Check current local restrictions and any buyer requirements for harvested produce.
Wear the protective clothing and equipment specified on the pack. Avoid breathing dust or spray and avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling; wash after work.
Keep the product in its original closed container, away from children, animals, food and feed. Prevent spray, spills and washings from contaminating water bodies. Do not reuse empty containers. If exposure or illness occurs, seek medical help and show the label.
