Detailed Description:

This 36% Wettable Powder formulation comprises 4% cymoxanil and 32% mancozeb, providing a potent solution against various fungal diseases. Cymoxanil is a systemic fungicide that penetrates plant tissues rapidly, offering both protective and curative actions. It inhibits sporulation and has local systemic activity, making it effective against pathogens like downy mildew and late blight. Mancozeb is a broad-spectrum, contact fungicide that interferes with the enzyme systems of fungi, preventing spore germination and mycelial growth. It acts on multiple sites within the fungal cells, reducing the risk of resistance development. The combination of these two active ingredients ensures comprehensive protection by targeting different stages of fungal development and employing multiple modes of action.

Effective Against:

·         Cucumber Downy Mildew (Pseudoperonospora cubensis): Causes yellowing and angular lesions on leaves, leading to reduced yield.

·         Potato Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans): Results in dark lesions on leaves and tubers, significantly affecting crop quality and yield.

·         Tomato Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans): Leads to water-soaked spots on leaves and fruits, causing rapid decay.

·         Grape Downy Mildew (Plasmopara viticola): Manifests as yellowish oil spots on leaves, leading to defoliation and reduced fruit quality.
