Kvistin Fungicide by Krishi Rasayan
A systemic carbendazim fungicide with crop-specific disease programmes. Keep field sprays, seed treatments and the label-confirmation uses separate; one dose does not fit every crop.
Composition: Carbendazim 50% WP systemic fungicide.
Separate programmes: Field sprays and seed treatments use different dose bases.
Full scope with safeguards: Check the exact crop and disease mapping and the uses awaiting label confirmation.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Field-crop programmes: The leaflet lists specific diseases in cotton, groundnut, sugar beet, pulses and tobacco.
- 🌱Seed-treatment options: Wheat, barley, jute and chilli have explicitly stated seed-mass programmes.
- 🥒Vegetable pairings: Cucurbits, brinjal and cowpea have named disease lists rather than an all-disease claim.
- 🍇Grape use: Anthracnose has its own verified grape programme.
- 🔄Resistance awareness: FRAC 1 identifies a single-site group that requires careful rotation and application limits.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Carbendazim is a systemic FRAC Group 1 methyl benzimidazole carbamate fungicide. It interferes with tubulin polymerization, disrupting the microtubules required for fungal cell division.
- Use the matching route: Apply the exact crop spray or seed treatment specified for the crop and disease.
- Fungal cell target: Carbendazim disrupts tubulin polymerization in susceptible fungi.
- Growth interruption: Impaired cell division restricts development of susceptible fungal infections.
Resistance to FRAC Group 1 fungicides is common in many fungal species. Follow the current label and local resistance-management advice. Changing to another carbendazim or Group 1 brand is not a change of mechanism.
Target Crops & Diseases
The grouped rows below retain every crop and named disease in the English Kvistin leaflet. Each bullet states its crop explicitly; group headings do not make the individual uses interchangeable.
| Crop | Target Diseases |
|---|---|
| Rice |
|
| Seed-use crops |
|
| Field crops |
|
| Vegetables |
|
| Fruit / flowers |
|
Obtain a clear current-label programme before treating rice, tapioca, apple, walnut, rose or ber. Those crop-disease listings do not supply an unambiguous actionable dose and method here. No other crop or disease is added by analogy.
Dosage & Application Guide
Match each lettered spray programme to the full crop and disease mapping immediately below the table. Acre quantities are rounded conversions of the original leaflet amounts, not additional applications.

Programme mapping and original hectare quantities: A = moong leaf spot and web blight, 250–500 g/ha in 750 L/ha. B = groundnut tikka leaf spot; tobacco frog-eye spot and anthracnose, 225 g/ha in 750 L/ha. C = sugar beet leaf spot and powdery mildew, 200 g/ha in 400 L/ha. D = cotton leaf spot, 250 g/ha in 750 L/ha. E = peas powdery mildew, 250 g/ha in 600 L/ha. F = cluster beans powdery mildew, 350 g/ha in 750 L/ha. G = cucurbits powdery mildew and anthracnose; brinjal leaf spot and fruit rot; grapes anthracnose; cowpea leaf spot, collar rot, anthracnose and powdery mildew, 300 g/ha in 600 L/ha. H = moong powdery mildew, 500 g/ha in 750 L/ha.
Seed programme only: wheat and barley loose smut; jute seedling blight; chilli damping off, at 2 g product/kg seed with 1 L water/10 kg seed, as a wet slurry. Do not convert this seed-mass programme to an acre spray. Rice, tapioca, apple, walnut, rose and ber remain current-label confirmation uses. No reliable numerical pre-harvest interval is supplied in the linked table; blank or misplaced text does not mean zero days. The leaflet states an optimal re-entry period of 24 hours.
Before treatment, confirm the current pack’s crop stage, application count, repeat interval, harvest interval and any local restrictions. Do not infer a per-tree quantity, orchard dilution or sett treatment from a crop name. Do not combine separate programmes or extend seed treatments to other crops.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the crop and disease: Select the correct lettered spray programme or one of the four verified seed-treatment crop pairings. Obtain clarification before using any held programme.
- Prepare field sprays correctly: For the verified WP spray programmes, the leaflet directs mixing a thick paste with a little water, soaking for 5–10 minutes, then adding the remaining water slowly while stirring. Use the labelled sprayer and calibrated coverage.
- Keep seed treatment separate: Use the stated product and water quantities for the actual seed mass and the pack’s wet-slurry procedure. Keep treated seed clearly identified and out of food, feed and oil channels.
- Observe exposure and waiting limits: Follow the leaflet’s 24-hour re-entry direction and current harvest requirements. Pregnant women should avoid contact with carbendazim formulations, as the leaflet warns.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kvistin?A systemic fungicide containing carbendazim 50% WP, in FRAC Group 1.
