How It Works: Mode of Action
Carbendazim disrupts fungal cell division; mancozeb provides multi-site contact activity against susceptible fungi.
- Two complementary actions: Synergy describes contact and systemic activity.
- Cell division is inhibited: Carbendazim affects fungal tubulin polymerisation.
- Multiple fungal processes are affected: Mancozeb acts at several sites. The mixture does not remove resistance risk.
Use the stated mode-of-action group when planning rotations. Do not assume a mixture or a different brand removes resistance risk.

*Groundnut seed: the September 2025 government compilation lists these three targets under Carbendazim 12% + Mancozeb 63% WP seed treatment. Synergy also mentions the targets and seed dressing, but the exact current seed dose and procedure are not established here. Groundnut blast is not included.
Dosage & Application Guide
Manufacturer-listed quantities are shown below. They are not a substitute for the complete current pack label.
Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)
| Crop | Product / Acre | Water (L / Acre) | Product / Litre | PHI (days) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grapes | Canopy based | As required | 1.5 g | 7 |
| Mango | Canopy based | As required | 1.5 g | 7 |
| Potato | 700 g | Confirm | Not stated | 47 |
| Tea | 500 g | 100–200 | Not stated | 7 |
| Rice | 300 g | 300 | Not stated | 57 |
| Chilli | 300 g | 200 | Not stated | 3 |
| Groundnut | Confirm | 200 | Not stated | 72 |
Manufacturer rates: grapes and mango 1.5 g/L water, with total volume based on the canopy; potato 700 g/acre; tea 500 g/acre; rice and chilli 300 g/acre. Do not convert canopy-based treatments into a fixed acre dose without the complete label.
Potato water and the groundnut leaf-spot product rate need confirmation because the manufacturer page and historical government formulation reference differ. The groundnut row above is not a seed-treatment rate. For the separate historical groundnut seed-treatment scope, obtain the current Smooth label’s explicit seed-weight dose, dilution, procedure and restrictions; none is inferred from the historical bare number.
Do not use on guava, jowar or tapioca: mancozeb use on these crops is prohibited nationally. Confirm all crop-specific methods, mixing, equipment, timing, maximum applications, re-entry and harvest precautions. No area rate, foliar programme or WS formulation directions are substituted for the unconfirmed WP seed-treatment programme.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Match crop and target: Identify the problem and check that the exact use appears on your supplied label.
- Keep field and seed uses separate: Confirm each crop-specific method on the current Smooth pack. The historical groundnut seed-treatment reference is not a ready-to-use treatment recipe.
- Check mixtures and rotations: Do not assume compatibility. Follow label permissions and resistance-management advice.
- Protect people and surroundings: Use label-required protection, prevent drift and water contamination, and observe entry and harvest restrictions.
