Mancozeb 80% WP

ICAMA Reg. No. PD20101602

Product Category: Fungicides 

A broad-spectrum, protective fungicide effective against a wide range of fungal diseases in various crops

Why Choose Mancozeb 80% WP?

• Multi-site mode of action reduces the risk of resistance development.

• Effective preventive control of numerous fungal pathogens.

• Suitable for use on a variety of crops, ensuring versatile application.

Key Features:

1.      Broad-Spectrum Activity: Controls various fungal diseases such as early blight (Alternaria solani) in tomatoes, late blight (Phytophthora infestans) in potatoes, downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola) in grapes, and apple scab (Venturia inaequalis).

2.      Protective Action: Acts as a contact fungicide, forming a protective barrier on plant surfaces to inhibit fungal spore germination.

3.      Multi-Site Mode of Action: Interferes with multiple enzymatic processes in fungal cells, disrupting lipid metabolism and respiration, thereby reducing the likelihood of resistance development.

Effective Against:

·         Tomatoes:

o    Early Blight (Alternaria solani): Causes leaf spots and defoliation, leading to reduced yield and fruit quality.

o    Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans): Leads to rapid decay of foliage and fruit, significantly impacting production.

·         Potatoes:

o    Late Blight (Phytophthora infestans): Results in tuber rot and foliage destruction, severely affecting crop yield.

o    Early Blight (Alternaria solani): Causes leaf spots and can lead to defoliation, reducing tuber size and number.

·         Grapes:

o    Downy Mildew (Plasmopara viticola): Manifests as yellowish spots on leaves and white mold on the underside, leading to defoliation and reduced fruit quality.

o    Black Rot (Guignardia bidwellii): Causes dark lesions on leaves and fruit, leading to mummified berries and yield loss.

·         Apples:

o    Apple Scab (Venturia inaequalis): Results in dark, scabby lesions on leaves and fruit, affecting marketability and storage life.

o    Frogeye Leaf Spot (Botryosphaeria obtusa): Causes circular leaf spots and can lead to fruit rot, impacting overall tree health and productivity.

Registered Scope and Method of Use

* Note: Initiate applications preventively or at the early onset of disease. Apply uniformly to ensure thorough coverage of all plant parts. Repeat applications at 7-day intervals, depending on disease pressure and environmental conditions.

Technical Application Requirements:

1.      Application Timing: For optimal results, begin applications preventively or at the first sign of disease. Regular intervals of 7–10 days are recommended, with adjustments based on weather conditions and disease severity.

2.      Mixing Instructions: Fill the spray tank halfway with clean water, add the required amount of Mancozeb 80% WP, and agitate continuously while adding the remaining water. Maintain agitation during application to ensure uniform suspension.

3.      Compatibility: Mancozeb 80% WP is compatible with many other fungicides and insecticides. However, avoid mixing with strongly alkaline materials. A jar test is recommended before tank-mixing with other products.

4.      Resistance Management: Due to its multi-site mode of action, Mancozeb has a low risk of resistance development. Incorporate it into an integrated disease management program, rotating with fungicides of different modes of action to prevent potential resistance.
