How It Works: Mode of Action
Himil combines systemic metalaxyl with multisite contact activity from mancozeb.
- Match the disease: Confirm the crop and disease on the current supplied label.
- Active ingredient action: Metalaxyl affects RNA polymerase I in susceptible oomycetes.
- Disease development: Mancozeb acts at multiple biochemical sites; the combination does not cover every fungal disease.
Use the stated mode-of-action group when planning resistance management. A different brand name does not necessarily mean a different mode of action.
Target Crops & Diseases
The crop scope below comes from the current manufacturer page. Specific target pairings are corroborated by the September 2025 CIBRC formulation reference, not presented as a newly retrieved complete brand label.
| Crop | Target Disease(s) |
|---|---|
| Grapes |
|
| Tobacco nursery |
|
| Potato |
|
| Mustard |
|
| Black pepper |
|
| Pearl millet |

Use only crop and target combinations permitted by the current supplied label. Wider uses of the same active ingredient or other formulations are not automatically uses of this product. Mancozeb is prohibited on guava, jowar (sorghum) and tapioca in India. Pearl millet is not sorghum.
Dosage & Application Guide
Historical formulation reference only: the table below is based on the September 2025 CIBRC major-use compilation. It is not a complete current Himil label or an independent instruction to apply. Confirm every value against the supplied pack before use.
Qualified formulation rates and waiting periods
| Crop / programme | Product / acre* | Water / acre* | Tank dose | Reference PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | 1012 g | 202 L | Not supplied | At least 7 weeks |
| Tobacco: damping off | Current pack | 405 L | Not supplied | At least 7 weeks |
| Tobacco: leaf blight | 809 g | 405 L | Not supplied | At least 7 weeks |
| Potato | 1012 g | 405 L | Not supplied | At least 7 weeks |
| Mustard | 1012 g | 405 L | Not supplied | At least 8 weeks |

Historical hectare references: grapes 2500 g in 500 L; tobacco nursery leaf blight / black shank 2000 g in 1000 L; potato and mustard 2500 g in 1000 L; pearl millet 2000 g in 500 L. Acre equivalents are approximately 1012 g or 809 g, and 202 L or 405 L, respectively. Tobacco damping-off product quantities conflict within the reference; its 1000 L/ha water figure is shown separately. Black pepper product quantities conflict between sources, so no vine dose or water recipe is supplied.
*Area quantities are approximate acre equivalents of the original hectare values stated above. PHI means the time between the last treatment and harvest; “not stated” is not zero days.
Check the current crop-specific pack before applying. The tobacco nursery application route and the black pepper spray or soil-treatment procedure are not supplied here. Do not infer an area denominator from the online quantities. Confirm rate, water, timing, method, repeat limits, re-entry and waiting directions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the crop and target: Identify the problem and match it to the current supplied label, not just the active ingredient.
- Use the complete pack directions: Check the crop-specific rate, water, equipment, timing and placement before measuring product.
- Do not assume a mixture is suitable: Use another product or adjuvant only when the relevant labels permit that combination. A jar test alone does not establish crop safety or permission.
- Protect people and nearby areas: Follow protective-equipment and re-entry directions, prevent drift and water contamination, and observe the required harvest interval.
