Technical Specifications

How It Works: Mode of Action

Mancozeb is a multi-site contact fungicide with protective activity against the crop-specific diseases listed below.

1. Surface protection: Mancozeb acts on treated surfaces rather than moving systemically through the plant.
2. Multiple sites: It interferes with several fungal enzyme processes.
3. Programme fit: Match crop, disease and application route to the label; foliar, nursery and seed programmes are not interchangeable.

Changing brand names does not necessarily change the mode of action. Follow a crop-specific resistance-management plan and all limits on repeat applications.

Target Crops & Diseases

The following manufacturer crop-and-target pairings exclude guava and jowar because their mancozeb uses are prohibited.

Do not use mancozeb on guava, jowar (sorghum) or tapioca: these uses are prohibited under S.O. 4294(E), dated 3 October 2023, as listed by ICAR-IISR from CIB&RC restrictions. Each target belongs only to its listed crop. Manufacturer or formulation-reference entries do not override this restriction; confirm all other applicable restrictions and the current label.

Dosage & Application Guide

The grouped rows below keep identical programmes together. Each group maps only to the crops and diseases specified in the note, and must be checked against the current pack.

Dosage per Acre, Litre, & Pre-Harvest Interval (PHI)

Rate and route details: Programme A and cumin use the original reference rate of 1.5–2 kg/ha, equivalent to the rounded 0.607–0.809 kg/acre shown above. “Confirm route” means check the current pack application route for every row: Programme A, cumin and apple require the pack route; nursery B specifies chilli soil drench, with the other nursery route to be confirmed; seed C requires the current seed-treatment label. Programme A: wheat brown/black rust and blight; maize leaf blight/downy mildew; rice blast; potato early/late blight; tomato late blight/buckeye rot/leaf spot; chilli fruit rot/ripe rot/leaf spot; cauliflower leaf spot; groundnut tikka/rust; grapes angular leaf spot/downy mildew/anthracnose; banana cigar-end rot/tip rot/Sigatoka. B: chilli damping off and cauliflower collar rot. Their public 3 g and 1000 L figures lack a reliable preparation basis, so do not treat them as a mixing recipe. C: groundnut collar rot/leaf spot has 25–30 per 10 kg seed without an explicit product unit, plus an ambiguous 0.1 water-slurry entry; obtain the full label.

The current government formulation reference does not give numerical PHIs for these rows. A blank or dash does not mean zero days. Its tree-water entries also need a confirmed current label basis.

Do not use mancozeb on guava, jowar (sorghum) or tapioca: these uses are prohibited under S.O. 4294(E), dated 3 October 2023, as listed by ICAR-IISR from CIB&RC restrictions. Keep nursery drenching, seed treatment, per-tree treatment and hectare programmes separate. Confirm timing, maximum applications, harvest interval, protective equipment and applicable local restrictions on the supplied label.

How to Apply: Best Practices

• Match the target: Check the full Zeal M45 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.
