Mancozeb 40% + Sulfur 30% WP

ICAMA Reg. No. PD20094283

Product Category:  Fungicides 

A broad-spectrum protective fungicide effective in preventing and controlling rust and various other fungal diseases across multiple crops.

Key Features:

1.      Dual Mode of Action: Sulfur disrupts fungal cellular respiration, while mancozeb inhibits pyruvate oxidation in pathogens, providing comprehensive disease control.

2.      Broad-Spectrum Efficacy: Effective against a wide range of fungal pathogens, safeguarding crops from multiple diseases.

3.      Preventive Protection: Forms a protective barrier on plant surfaces, inhibiting fungal spore germination and penetration.

Effective Against:

·         Cowpea Rust (Uromyces vignae): Causes rust-colored pustules on leaves, leading to premature defoliation and yield loss.

·         Powdery Mildew (Erysiphe polygoni): Forms white, powdery fungal growth on leaves and stems, affecting photosynthesis and plant vigor.

·         Downy Mildew (Peronospora spp.): Manifests as yellowish spots on the upper leaf surface with grayish mold on the underside, leading to leaf drop.

·         Leaf Spot (Cercospora spp.): Results in small, necrotic spots on leaves, potentially leading to premature leaf drop and reduced photosynthesis.

Registered Scope and Method of Use

Technical Application Requirements:

1.      Timing: Initiate application at the early onset of disease symptoms. If necessary, repeat application after 7 days based on disease pressure.

2.      Mixing: Pre-mix the required amount of product with a small volume of water to form a slurry, then dilute to the desired volume for uniform application.

3.      Application Technique: Ensure thorough and even coverage of all plant parts, including leaves, stems, and pods.

4.      Environmental Conditions: Avoid application during windy conditions or if rainfall is expected within one hour to prevent runoff and ensure maximum efficacy.

5.      Pre-Harvest Interval: Observe a safety interval of 14 days between the last application and harvest to comply with residue regulations.

6.      Usage Frequency: Do not exceed three applications per growing season to minimize the risk of resistance development and potential phytotoxicity.
