- 🔬Defined activity: FRAC 3 + 1 identifies the mode-of-action group for resistance planning.
- 🎯Specific target mapping: The reference keeps the diseases attached to their respective crops.
- ⚖️Distinct formulation: SC: suspension concentrate; do not substitute another strength or product.

How It Works: Mode of Action
Hexaconazole interferes with fungal sterol production; carbendazim disrupts the microtubules needed for cell division. The manufacturer describes Sofia as systemic, with protective and curative activity.
- Hexaconazole action: Interferes with sterol formation needed for fungal cell membranes.
- Carbendazim action: Disrupts microtubule formation and fungal cell division.
- Within-plant movement: The manufacturer describes uptake and movement within plant tissues.
A mode of action does not guarantee control of every disease or prevent resistance by itself. Use the current label and an appropriate crop-specific management plan.
Target Crops & Diseases
The complete manufacturer crop list is retained below. The diseases are paired from the matching September 2025 government formulation reference and need confirmation on the current Sofia pack.
| Crop | Diseases in Formulation Reference |
|---|---|
| Rice |

| Grapes |

Both manufacturer crops are retained. General disease-control claims are not permission for seed treatment, soil drenching or additional crops.
Dosage & Application Guide
The table is a September 2025 government formulation reference, not a complete current Sofia label. The manufacturer lists paddy 300 ml and grapes 500 ml but omits the area denominator. They are not assumed to be ml/acre.
Historical Formulation Reference per Acre
| Crop | Target programme | Product / acre | Water / acre | Waiting period |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rice | Sheath blight; blast | 303.5 ml | 161.9–202.3 L | 40 days |
| Grapes | Listed diseases | 505.9 ml | 202.3 L | 30 days |
Original hectare quantities: Rice (sheath blight; blast): 750 ml/ha; water 400–500 L/ha; waiting period 40 days; Grapes (listed diseases): 1250 ml/ha; water 500 L/ha; waiting period 30 days.
Acre equivalents use 1 acre = 0.40468564224 hectare. Original hectare quantities remain above. Missing waiting periods do not mean zero days or immediate harvest.
Confirm the current Sofia product rate, water, method, timing, harvest interval, repeat limits and any mixing restrictions before treatment. No unsupported per-litre or tank dose is recommended.
How to Apply: Best Practices
- Identify the problem: Check the exact crop and diseases against the supplied label. Do not extend a crop-specific programme to another crop.
- Resolve the whole programme: Confirm complete product and area units, water, timing, equipment and harvest interval before application.
- Use the authorised method: Follow this exact brand’s current instructions. Do not borrow a seed, soil, foliar or irrigation route from another brand or infer one from the formulation code.
- Protect and record: Follow protective-equipment and environmental precautions, prevent drift, and record application dates and required waiting periods.
