Product details
Kavach Fungicide | Chlorothalonil 75% WP
A non-systemic contact fungicide for the specified groundnut, potato, grape and chilli diseases. Confirm the complete current Indian crop-specific first-treatment programme and grape orchard-water basis before preparing a foliar treatment.
Match the crop and pest: Confirm the exact crop–pest pairing against the current Indian label supplied with this product.
Confirm the complete programme: Establish product amount, water, application route, positive first-treatment conditions and restrictions together. No numerical application programme is supplied here.
Check the selected pack: 100 g, 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg on this listing. Pack size is not a treatment dose or area-coverage claim.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
-
🛡️Preventive contact protection: Chlorothalonil acts at treated plant surfaces and helps prevent disease establishment. Its role is protection of covered tissue, not repair of tissue already destroyed by disease.
-
🧬Multisite fungicidal action: The active ingredient affects multiple fungal processes rather than a single enzyme target. This distinguishes it from single-site fungicides used in many disease-management programmes.
-
🥔 Defined field-crop uses: Separate recommendations cover groundnut tikka and rust and potato early and late blight. Keep their differing product limits and full crop-specific directions separate.
-
🍇Specified fruit and vegetable targets: The leaflet includes grape anthracnose and downy mildew and chilli fruit rot. These are defined crop-disease pairings, not a broad promise to solve every fungal problem.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Kavach is a non-systemic fungicide: it protects plant surfaces reached by the spray rather than moving through the plant as a systemic treatment. Chlorothalonil has multisite activity against susceptible fungi.
-
A protective deposit forms on the crop: The spray distributes chlorothalonil over the treated foliage. Uniform coverage is important because uncovered surfaces do not automatically receive protection from movement through the plant.
-
Several fungal processes are disrupted: Chlorothalonil acts at multiple sites in susceptible fungal cells. This impairs the processes needed for fungal establishment and development rather than relying on one specific biochemical target.
-
Infection is restricted at an early stage: The contact treatment helps inhibit spore germination and establishment on treated surfaces. It is best understood as protective disease management, not a cure that restores damaged leaves or fruit.
Group M05 is a multisite classification, not permission for unlimited repeated spraying. Use sound crop hygiene, correct disease identification and a locally appropriate programme; any other product must have its own crop approval and directions.
🔄 A distinct option in disease programmes: As a Group M05 contact fungicide, Kavach offers a different mode of action from many systemic fungicides. Any alternation still needs a crop-approved partner, correct timing and the full label requirements.
Target Crops & Pests
The branded leaflet lists these crop-disease combinations:
| Crop |
Target pest(s) |
|---|---|
| Groundnut |
|
| Potato |
|
| Grapes |
|
| Chillies |
|
A general introductory mention of scab in the leaflet is not accompanied by a crop-use row, so no scab programme is added here. Kavach is not Kavach Flo: the two products have different active-ingredient compositions and rates.
Dosage & Application Guide
Confirm the full crop-specific directions before measuring
Do not prepare a treatment from this page alone. No complete current Indian Kavach numerical programme is supplied. Confirm the crop and disease, positive first-treatment conditions, foliar route, formulated-product quantity, water basis and restrictions together.
The exact branded leaflet identifies the four crop–disease pairings and crop-specific quantities, water and harvest restrictions, but does not establish the positive first-treatment conditions for each crop. These operational numbers are withheld together rather than presented as a partially specified recipe.
The grape row uses a concentration and a water entry whose orchard-coverage basis needs confirmation. No isolated grape concentration, fixed acre quantity or revised water volume is supplied. Confirm the complete current Indian pack directions with the manufacturer or an authorised agricultural adviser before application.
Groundnut, potato and chillies use area-based quantities and water; their product limits and water directions differ. Keep these distinct from the grape concentration-based programme. Weigh formulated wettable powder, not the active-ingredient amount, only after the complete programme is established.
Contact protection and general preventive activity do not by themselves establish crop-specific first-treatment conditions. Do not infer a drench, seed treatment, drone programme or another chlorothalonil formulation’s directions.
No numerical repeat, seasonal maximum, rainfast, worker re-entry or harvest programme is supplied. Missing figures do not mean zero product, no water or immediate harvest. Harvest, re-entry and repeat-treatment restrictions are different requirements.
How to Apply: Best Practices
-
Confirm the disease and first-treatment conditions: Match the crop and disease and establish the current pack’s positive first-treatment conditions. A general preventive description is not a complete application programme.
-
Measure the correct powder quantity: Weigh the WP formulation in grams. Do not confuse the active-ingredient column in the original leaflet with the amount of formulated powder to add.
-
Establish the field-water basis: Confirm the complete crop-specific product and water directions before calibrating. Maintain thorough surface coverage; do not infer a universal tank or reduced-water programme.
-
Resolve the grape programme first: Obtain the complete current concentration and orchard-water directions before measuring product. Do not infer an acre-coverage figure from a concentration alone.
-
Use suitable spraying equipment: The leaflet lists knapsack, foot, rocker and power sprayers depending on crop, farm or orchard. Choose and calibrate equipment to deliver the specified programme evenly over the target surfaces.
-
Do not assume every mixture is compatible: The leaflet cautions that surfactants, emulsifiers and solvents differ between pesticide formulations. Do not tank mix unless the combination is established as physically compatible and non-phytotoxic under local conditions and permitted by the current labels.
-
Plan harvest before treatment: Confirm the crop-specific waiting period and complete application directions before use. No numerical repeat-spray or worker re-entry schedule is established here; do not borrow another product’s programme.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Kavach a systemic fungicide?
No. Kavach 75% WP is a non-systemic contact fungicide containing chlorothalonil. The spray needs to reach the plant surfaces needing protection. Do not expect it to move through the plant and protect every new or untreated surface automatically.
2. Can I use the same dose for groundnut and potato?
No. Their labelled formulation limits differ. Confirm the complete current crop-specific product quantity, water basis, positive first-treatment conditions and harvest restrictions together. No numerical programme is supplied here.
3. How should I interpret the grape recommendation?
It is concentration-based, but the available leaflet’s separate water entry does not clearly establish the orchard-coverage programme. Do not use an isolated concentration or infer a fixed acre dose. Obtain the complete current grape directions before preparing a treatment; omitted harvest numbers do not mean immediate harvest.
4. Is Kavach the same product as Kavach Flo?
No. Kavach contains chlorothalonil 75% as a wettable powder. Kavach Flo is a liquid combination of chlorothalonil 40% and difenoconazole 4%. Do not swap gram and millilitre rates or transfer their crops, disease claims and harvest intervals.
5. Can I add a sticker or another fungicide?
Not on the strength of a general compatibility claim. The leaflet warns that additives and other formulations can cause incompatibility or crop injury. A mixture must be suitable under local conditions and comply with every current product label; a routine adjuvant or tank-mix recipe is not established here.
