Kaguya contains carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP. Combines systemic carbendazim with contact mancozeb. Match the crop, disease and application directions on the supplied pack before use.
Composition: carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP.
Action: Combines systemic carbendazim with contact mancozeb.
Crop fit: Use the individual crop–disease pairings below, not a blanket all-crop recommendation.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌿Defined formulation: carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP identifies the strength and product form.
- 🎯Crop-specific scope: Keep each disease paired with its listed crop.
- 🛡️Disease protection: Combines systemic carbendazim with contact mancozeb.
- 💧Separate application routes: Foliar programmes and the groundnut seed-treatment programme have distinct doses and methods.
- 🔄Resistance planning: Use the mode of action, not just brand names, when planning rotations.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Carbendazim interferes with fungal cell division, while mancozeb acts at multiple sites on the treated surface.
- Reach the target: Follow the exact crop label’s spray placement and coverage directions.
- Combine two actions: Carbendazim targets tubulin-related cell division; mancozeb provides multi-site contact action.
- Maintain the programme: Use correct diagnosis and label-directed timing; damaged tissue is not guaranteed to recover.
Do not assume a combination or systemic fungicide cannot select for resistance. Follow the crop label and local resistance-management advice.
Target Crops & Diseases
The exact-brand IFFCO Bazar table covers the seven crops below and a separate groundnut seed-treatment use. The current government formulation table corroborates those seed-treatment targets; the complete supplied label remains essential.
| Crop | Target Disease(s) |
|---|---|
| Potato |
|
| Rice |
|
| Groundnut |
|
| Chilli |
|
| Mango |
|
| Grapes |
|
| Tea |
|
Keep foliar and seed-treatment uses separate. Potato black scurf is listed, but its exact application route remains unconfirmed and must not be assumed to be foliar. Groundnut blast, also listed by Bazar, is withheld because it was not reconciled to the current national entry. Mancozeb must not be used on guava, jowar or tapioca.
Dosage & Application Guide
The table uses the crop-specific Kaguya references published by IFFCO Bazar. Two harvest intervals conflict with the current government formulation table and are withheld for pack-label confirmation.
Crop-specific Dose, Water & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product reference | Water reference | Method | PHI* |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Potato† | 700 g / acre | 200 L / acre | Foliar blights† | Confirm‡ |
| Rice | 300 g / acre | 300 L / acre | Foliar spray | 57 days |
| Groundnut | 200 g / acre | 200 L / acre | Foliar spray | Confirm‡ |
| Groundnut (seed) | 2.5 g / kg seed | Confirm label | Seed dressing | Seed treatment |
| Chilli | 300 g / acre | 200 L / acre | Foliar spray | 3 days |
| Mango | 1.5 g / L | Canopy-dependent | Foliar spray | 7 days |
| Grapes | 1.5 g / L | Canopy-dependent | Foliar spray | 7 days |
| Tea | 500 g / acre | 100–200 L / acre | Foliar spray | 7 days |
The government formulation reference uses product/water per hectare: potato 1750 g/500 L; rice 750 g/750 L; groundnut 500 g/500 L; chilli 750 g/500 L; tea 1250 g/250–500 L. These roughly correspond to the retailer’s rounded acre figures but are not an interchangeable complete programme. Mango and grapes have a direct retailer concentration of 1.5 g/L, not an invented acre dose.
*PHI is the last-application-to-harvest interval. ‡Bazar lists potato 40 days and groundnut foliar use 70 days, while the current formulation reference lists 47 and 72 days; confirm the exact Kaguya label. †No black-scurf method is inferred. The seed-treatment entry is not a zero-day harvest claim; its water and dressing procedure require the pack directions.
No per-tank dose, fixed rainfast period, repeat interval, maximum applications or re-entry time is invented. Check the supplied label for those directions and for mixing restrictions.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Confirm the pairing: Identify the crop and disease, then check the exact pack label.
- Keep the routes separate: For groundnut seed dressing, use the per-kilogram seed dose and label procedure. Do not substitute a foliar rate or use treated seed for food or feed.
- Prepare foliar sprays correctly: For foliar uses, follow the crop-specific product, water, stage and equipment directions. Do not assume tank-mix compatibility.
- Protect harvest and surroundings: Observe harvest and entry precautions, prevent drift and keep spray and washings out of water.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the active ingredient?carbendazim 12% + mancozeb 63% WP.
Is every disease listed suitable for every crop?No. Each crop has its own target pairing and complete label directions.
Can I use another brand’s dose?No. A formulation reference is not a substitute for the supplied IFFCO-MC label.
Does a two-active mixture prevent all resistance?No. Carbendazim resistance is known. A mixture does not remove the need for a sound resistance-management programme.
What does PHI mean?It is the interval from the final application to harvest. Confirm the crop-specific requirement on the current pack.
