How It Works: Mode of Action
Mancozeb acts at multiple sites in fungal metabolism. It protects the treated surface and is most useful before fungal penetration; it does not restore already damaged tissue.
- Cover the susceptible surface: Use the crop’s current labelled spray directions.
- Interfere with fungal processes: Multi-site contact activity limits normal fungal development.
- Protect before severe infection: Time treatments according to crop risk and the label, rather than relying on curative recovery.
Use this product within a resistance-management programme. Switching brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action.

*Groundnut, cauliflower, cumin and chilli are manufacturer-listed crops; their specified disease pairings here come from the current formulation reference. Seed-treatment and drench quantities or routes are not resolved for Satsuma and are withheld. Prohibited guava and jowar entries are removed from the old branded list; tapioca is also prohibited.
Dosage & Application Guide
Unstarred rates are directly stated by IFFCO Bazar. Starred rows are clearly qualified formulation-reference values for manufacturer-listed crops and require the current Satsuma label before use.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Dose (g / Acre) | Water (L / Acre) | Dose (g / Litre) | PHI (Days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seven crops | 600–800 | 300 | Not given | Confirm |
| Apple | 30 g/tree | 10 L/tree | Not given | Confirm |
| Groundnut | 607–809* | 304* | Not given | Confirm |
| Cauliflower | 607–809* | 304* | Not given | Confirm |
| Cumin | 607–809* | 202* | Not given | Confirm |
| Chilli | 607–809* | 304* | Not given | Confirm |
*Groundnut, cauliflower and chilli: 1.5–2 kg product/ha in 750 L water/ha, approximately 607–809 g/acre in 304 L/acre. Cumin: the same product rate with 500 L water/ha, approximately 202 L/acre. These are not complete Satsuma label programmes.
Seven crops means potato, tomato, wheat, maize, paddy, banana and grapes, each with the disease targets listed above: 600–800 g/acre in 300 L/acre. Apple uses 30 g/tree in 10 L/tree. PHIs are unspecified, not zero. No per-litre or seed/drench rate is inferred.
Confirm crop-stage timing, equipment, mixing sequence, repeat interval, maximum applications, rainfast time and re-entry directions on the supplied pack. Do not increase the rate or improvise a tank mix.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Check legal crop use: Do not apply mancozeb to guava, jowar or tapioca even if an older product page lists them.
- Plan preventive coverage: Confirm the disease and current pack timing before infection becomes established.
- Use the correct basis: Keep apple’s 30 g/tree in 10 L/tree separate from acre rates. Starred rows need exact Satsuma label confirmation.
- Resolve missing details: Confirm PHI, repeat limits, mixtures and any seed or drench programme before applying; do not improvise from a general use statement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Satsuma systemic?No. Mancozeb is a multi-site contact protectant.
Can I use it on guava or jowar?No. Current Indian restrictions prohibit mancozeb on guava, jowar and tapioca; stale brand listings do not override this.
What is the apple rate?IFFCO Bazar lists 30 g product per tree with 10 L water per tree. No acre conversion is made.
Why are four crop rows starred?The manufacturer names groundnut, cauliflower, cumin and chilli without full programmes. Their starred foliar disease and quantity fields are from the current Indian formulation reference, not a complete current Satsuma label.
Can I infer a zero-day harvest interval?No. The checked sources do not provide usable crop-specific PHIs for these programmes. Confirm the supplied label before use.
