Product details
Key Shield Fungicide by Krishi Rasayan
Key Shield combines mancozeb 64% + thiophanate-methyl 12% WP for the manufacturer-listed crop and disease scope below. Its incomplete website dosing details must be checked against the current supplied label.
Composition: mancozeb 64% + thiophanate-methyl 12% WP.
Verified crop scope: 1 named crop.
Use boundary: Resolve the current crop-specific dose and application method before treatment.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🍅Tomato focus: The named brand’s verified crop scope is tomato, not every crop treated with either active ingredient.
- 🛡️Two active ingredients: Multisite contact action plus inhibition of fungal cell division.
- 🎯Disease-specific guide: Each verified crop is linked to the manufacturer’s named targets.
- 📋Transparent quantities: Malformed figures are withheld rather than turned into an assumed application rate.
- 🧭No borrowed programme: Another product’s strength, method or general acre rate does not replace this brand’s label.

How It Works: Mode of Action
The components affect different fungal processes. Broad-spectrum marketing does not authorise every disease, crop or application method.
- Mancozeb action: Mancozeb acts at multiple biochemical sites in susceptible fungi.
- Thiophanate-methyl action: Its benzimidazole activity affects microtubules needed for fungal cell division.
- Two-component protection: Use the combination only within the exact label’s tomato disease programme.
Follow the label’s resistance-management guidance. Do not assume that changing only the brand name changes the mode of action, or that higher rates overcome resistance.
Target Crops & Diseases
The complete crop–disease scope on the exact manufacturer page is retained below. Any unclear designation is identified rather than guessed.
| Crop | Target Disease(s) |
|---|---|
| Tomato |
|
The exact page lists tomato only. General root-uptake claims do not establish a soil-drench, root-treatment or seed-treatment method. Do not use mancozeb on guava, jowar or tapioca, where national restrictions prohibit it.
Dosage & Application Guide
Dose and water are withheld until the current brand label resolves the malformed manufacturer entry.
Current Label Confirmation Required
| Crop | Target | Product / acre | Water / acre | PHI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tomato | Listed diseases | Not verified | Not verified | Confirm pack |
The official page’s dosage line is malformed: “5500–600 g/acre”. A second “500–600 g/acre” string sits under pack size. Neither is a reliable basis for silently choosing a rate. Obtain the correct current label before preparing treatment.
The disease entry also says “Elate Blight”, which does not reliably distinguish early from late blight. The historical CIBRC formulation entry says late blight, but it does not repair the current brand’s wording. The blight recommendation remains held.
Confirm current crop-specific quantity, water, method, timing, harvest interval, re-entry and repeat limits. Missing information is not permission for zero waiting time or unrestricted use. Mancozeb is prohibited on guava, jowar and tapioca.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match crop and disease: Check the supplied current label against the target table. Do not add crops from another brand’s guide.
- Resolve operational gaps: Confirm the product rate, area unit and water volume before preparing treatment. Do not use a malformed website number.
- Use only the permitted method: Follow the exact label for preparation, equipment and application. Do not infer a seed, soil, foliar or drone route from the formulation name.
- Protect people and surroundings: Use label-specified protective equipment and respect harvest/re-entry restrictions; prevent drift and water contamination.
