Before use: Confirm the product rate, water volume, method and waiting period on the supplied label.
Why Choose This Product? Key Benefits
- 🌾Defined crop scope: Mahindra lists Chilli, Potato, Black gram, Cumin, Tomato.
- 🎯Matched targets: Each listed target is tied to its own crop, rather than a general all-crop claim.
- 🌿Two complementary components: The formulation combines contact protection with systemic activity.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Nutch combines captan contact activity with the systemic triazole hexaconazole. Their actions affect fungal enzymes and sterol production.
- Contact protection: Captan acts at multiple enzyme sites on susceptible fungi.
- Systemic component: Hexaconazole has systemic and translaminar activity.
- Membrane disruption: Hexaconazole inhibits ergosterol synthesis needed for fungal membranes.
Changing brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action. Follow a crop-specific resistance-management plan and all limits on repeat applications.

| Crop | Target Disease(s) |

Gram units are supported by an explicit primary formulation table; the current government formulation list matches the manufacturer quantities and supplies the water basis and crop-specific waiting periods. These references are not the current Nutch pack.
*Formulation-level reference, not a complete brand-label direction. PHI means last application to harvest. Acre equivalents use hectare rate × 0.40468564224, rounded to whole grams.
The website mentions soil drenching generally but gives no crop-specific drench programme. No drench rate, seed-treatment recipe, tank mix or repeat interval is recommended here.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match the target: Check the full Nutch identity, crop and target against the supplied label.
- Measure correctly: Use the label’s explicit product unit and water volume; do not substitute a hectare quantity for an acre quantity.
- Follow the approved method: Use only the preparation, equipment and application route specified on the pack. Do not assume a tank mixture is permitted.
- Protect people and water: Wear the specified protective equipment and prevent drift or runoff into water and neighbouring crops.
